I’ll Never Get Tired Of Watching Andrew Garfield Get Anxious Answering Spider-Man Questions

The ending of Spider-Man: No Way Home saw Andrew Garfield’s Peter Parker return to his universe, and since then, there have been rumors regarding whether he'll reprise the role. However, Garfield doesn't appear in the new Marvel movie, Brand New Day, which centers solely on Tom Holland’s Peter wall-crawler. Despite that, it seems Garfield is still getting anxious whenever he's faced with Spidey-related questions, based on some recent chats he's had. And, quite frankly, I can't get enough of this!

Since No Way Home, Garfield has delivered incredible performances in movies like We Live in Time and After the Hunt. Nevertheless, it seems the Oscar nominee just can't escape Spider-Man queries while promoting his new projects. Recently, he's been doing press for one of his 2026 movie releases, The Magic Faraway Tree and, as seen on Screen Rant’s TikTok, Garfield got humorously frazzled when asked about Brand New Day’s post-credits scene:

  • Interviewer: Spider-Man: Brand New Day comes out this week.
  • Andrew: I’m not in it!
  • Interviewer: The end-credits scene hints at the return of an off world Spider-Man.
  • Andrew: Oh, really?
  • Interviewer: It does.
  • Andrew: Cool!
  • Interviewer: Do you know anything about that?
  • Andrew: I do not. First I’ve heard of it.
  • Interviewer: Not the werewolf.
  • Andrew: Not the werewolf. Not me.
  • Interviewer: So if it’s not you, it must be Tobey.
  • Andrew: I guess so. Could be. Who knows? Or maybe Miles Morales. I don’t know.

I love that The Social Network actor isn’t even in the movie, and he’s still being hounded by Spider-Man questions. Of course, I can sense some nervousness in Garfield when he's given these kinds of queries questions, and I feel for him. However, it's also hard not to watch the video below and chuckle:

Even when the first Brand New Day trailer came out, Garfield was asked about the “insane” fan theory of whether or not he was digitally erased from the preview. Garfield responded by saying that was an “absolutely ludicrous” conspiracy theory. Evidently, he wasn't playing "werewolf" this time. (If you know, you know.)

Audiences had such positive reactions seeing Garfield and Tobey Maguire's surprising return for No Way Home, and I think it’s safe to a portion of fans would love to see them reprise their roles. Despite that not happening in Brand New Day, Garfield had to convince Craig Melvin of that while promoting The Magic Faraway Tree again and his upcoming biopic, Artificial, on The Today Show:

I mean, no one’s going to believe me any question about Spider-Man from here on for the rest of my life. I’m going to be known as a liar. But, I’m not. I’m not in it, but I’m very excited to see it. I love Tom, I love Zendaya, I love Jacob. I love all those guys. I’m very, very excited.

Given that the Golden Globe winner was constantly denying that he’d be in No Way Home, which ended up being untrue, you can’t blame journalists for finding it hard to take the actor’s sentiments on a return to Spider-Man. Also, I love that he’s aware of his new reputation of being a “liar” when asked Spidey questions. Check out Garfield's energy in the interview clip:

The Silence actor is well aware that because he's played Spider-Man in three movies, there's bound to be continued interest. Garfield previously said he believed he’d get Spider-Man questions “until I’m 90 years old.” If that ends up being true, it'll prove how strong of an MCU fan following he has.

Garfield also got real about having to answer fewer spidey questions so he could focus on promoting his more recent projects. That's totally fair as well, considering that in the grand scheme of things, those Marvel-based movies only make up a small portion of Garfield's vast body of work.

Still, Andrew Garfield will most likely continue to be hit with Spider-Man questions, and I’ll always love watching him anxiously answer. And, if the Critics’ Choice Award winner will be web-slinging in future MCU movies, I’d rather it be a surprise in order for his return to be all the more satisfying. But, in the meantime, check out his performance as Peter Parker in the Amazing Spider-Man films and No Way Home, which are streaming now with a Disney+ subscription.
