Garfield’s Denial

When questioned about his rumored return to the Spider-Man franchise, Garfield remains resolute in his response.

“I’m going to let you down,” he stated in an interview with British GQ. “Yeah, no. But I understand that no one will believe anything I say anymore.”

Surprise Appearance

Despite Garfield’s assurances, he surprised fans with a cameo in the 2021 film Spider-Man: No Way Home. The movie featured a fun scene that brought together various actors who have portrayed Spider-Man, including Garfield, Tobey Maguire, and Tom Holland. Even Holland initially denied Garfield’s involvement.

In a confession on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in January 2022, Garfield admitted that only a select few knew the truth, including his agent.

“I spent two years lying to people and the internet, and it was exhilarating,” Garfield shared. “Just my family and I knew. Keeping it a secret was enjoyable.”

He likened the experience to organizing a surprise party for friends who would appreciate the gesture.

Garfield even kept the cameo hidden from his Spider-Man co-star and former flame Emma Stone, who was displeased upon discovering the truth.
