Upon the release of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 in 2014, it was planned for Andrew Garfield to reprise his role as Peter Parker in Sinister Six, The Amazing Spider-Man 3, The Amazing Spider-Man 4, and perhaps even a Venom film.

Plans, however, were altered when the sequel was released to mixed reviews and a lacklustre box office performance. As a result of a highly inflated budget, the film was a box office flop. Tom Holland was chosen to take Garfield’s spot in Captain America: Civil War by Sony Pictures in a reboot of the wall-crawler in a collaboration with Marvel Studios.

Garfield’s stint as Spider-Man came to a sudden end, but he was able to reprise the role in Spider-Man: No Way Home.

A third chapter in the franchise of the Marc Webb movies has generally been ruled out since The Amazing Spider-Man 2’s massive failure. which unravelled among both the public and the box office.

However, the release of Spider-Man: No Way Home by Jon Watts altered the perception of practically the entire Marvel fanbase, as people began to call for The Amazing Spider-Man 3, which would also star Andrew Garfield.

If the movie is made at all, fans are adamant that Andrew Garfield will take the lead role. As a result, a lot depends on whether the Tick, Tick, Boom! actor will agree to return to the project, which, by the sounds of it, might be a bit challenging.

During a GQ interview, Andrew Garfield stated,

“I’m not sure if I had any higher expectations. I was extremely willing to let things turn out anyway it was meant to be “Explained by Garfield. “But there was a sense of being undone. Like, What was the purpose of that experience? And how do I, all by myself, shut the circle in my living room?”

“And I was doing that – and then it was like the classic thing when you’re getting over a relationship, and you’re really starting to truly feel free and untethered from that thing – the person knows to call the hour after the first good night’s sleep you’ve had,”.

The main reason Andrew Garfield might not agree to participate in The Amazing Spider-Man 3 is connected to the brief dispute that developed between him and Sony.

The disappointing and underwhelming success of the second instalment was only one factor in the decision not to revive The Amazing Spider-Man franchise. According to rumors, the unpleasant argument that occurred between Garfield and Sony was also a factor in why he ceased playing the character on screen.

Andrew Garfield was supposedly sacked from the business because he was unable to attend a significant social event due to illness back in 2014, according to a string of emails that were leaked after a hack into Sony’s system.

Fans speculate that Garfield is unwilling to risk Spider-Man’s future with Sony in charge because of the studio’s apparent incapacity to manage a film series responsibly, which may lead to the film becoming a huge flop instead.

We all know what happened with The Amazing Spider-Man Duology and Spider-Man 3 by Sam Raimi. The Executives attempt to cram in characters and plot threads that are completely illogical. Their sole objective is to increase merchandise sales.

Sources believe that Garfield might just comeback for The Amazing Spider-Man 3 considering that Marvel is heavily engaged with the movie as well, decreasing the likelihood that Sony will mismanage the Spider-Man property yet again. The Spider-Man franchise is also partially under the control of Marvel Studios.
