In the Marvel universe, separating fact from fiction is a constant challenge. With actors like Andrew Garfield clarifying their involvement in future projects, fans are left wondering what to believe.

Andrew Garfield had to address questions about a role in Spider-Man 4, and he denied his involvement in the upcoming MCU sequel again.

Andrew Garfield is setting the record straight… sort of. The “We Live in Time” actor recently clarified some ongoing speculation that he’s signed on for the fourth installment of Marvel’s Tom Holland -led “Spider-Man” franchise, telling GQ UK in an interview published Thursday that it’s simply not true.

Garfield's status for Spider-Man 4 remains uncertain, but recent hints suggest he won't be involved. Spider-Man 4 should focus on a more grounded storyline and character development for Tom Holland's iteration.

Andrew Garfield has denied reports that he'll appear in "Spider-Man 4," according to a new GQ UK interview published on Thursday.

Andrew Garfield has addressed a possible return to the Spider-Man franchise in the fourth Tom Holland movie. The upcoming Spidey adventure is due to be released next summer, and will see Shang-Chi 's Destin Daniel Cretton join as director.

Andrew Garfield swears up and down that audiences won't see him in Spider-Man 4. Really. When asked about rumors that he's already signed on to the latest installment of the blockbuster franchise, Garfield was clear.

Although Spider-Man is preparing for another MCU outing, Andrew Garfield is staying tight-lipped about whether he'll return for the next movie.

Spider-Man 4 comes out on July 24, 2026, helmed by Shang-Chi director Destin Daniel Cretton. 2026 is set to be huge for the MCU, with Spider-Man 4 due out just two months after Avengers: Doomsday. It's also a busy time for Tom Holland, who is set to star in Christopher Nolan's next movie, which is also releasing in July 2026.

“I’m gonna disappoint you,” Garfield, 41, told GQ in a new interview published on Thursday, Jan. 2, when asked about rumors he will appear in a fourth Spider-Man movie starring Tom Holland. "Yeah, no. But I know no one’s gonna trust anything I say from now on.”
