Andrew Garfield Gives The Amazing Spider-Man 3 Release Update

Fans of Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man have been wondering for years if The Amazing Spider-Man 3 might finally happen. Now, the actor himself has finally given a definitive update about the movie.

Andrew Garfield says The Amazing Spider-Man 3 is ‘not happening’

Sony’s The Amazing Spider-Man duology remains one of the most talked-about eras in Spider-Man’s cinematic history. Despite mixed reviews, Garfield’s emotional and human take on Peter Parker earned him a loyal fanbase. After his surprise appearance in Spider-Man: No Way Home in 2021, fans flooded social media with the #MakeTASM3 campaign, hoping Sony would finally complete the trilogy.

However, in a new GQ video, Garfield directly addressed the long-standing rumors. When asked if The Amazing Spider-Man 3 was secretly in development, he answered, “It’s not happening and I don’t believe it ever will, but sweet of you to want it to happen.”

The Amazing Spider-Man 3 was originally set for release in 2016, with director Marc Webb planning it as his final Spider-Man film. Sony even had The Amazing Spider-Man 4 slated for 2018, alongside spin-offs like Sinister Six. But plans collapsed after The Amazing Spider-Man 2 received mixed reviews, despite earning $716.9 million globally. Following the 2014 Sony hack and the studio’s subsequent deal with Marvel Studios, Garfield’s version of Spider-Man was shelved, paving the way for Tom Holland’s MCU debut in 2016.

Since then, Garfield’s version of the character has lived on through fan nostalgia and renewed respect for his performance. His return in No Way Home allowed audiences to see his version of Peter find closure — a moment that many called redemption for both the character and the actor.

Even though Garfield firmly denied The Amazing Spider-Man 3, fans remain skeptical. The actor infamously denied his involvement in No Way Home for months, only to later appear in the movie. So, with Marvel’s Secret Wars coming up and multiverse storylines expanding, fans believe there’s a chance Peter #3 might swing back into action.
