Andrew Garfield is never going to escape being asked about Spider-Man, especially since his repeated denials about appearing in No Way Home culminated in… one of the most delightfully surprising superhero team-ups ever. But he is seemingly growing weary of follow-up questions pressing him on his participation (or not) in 2026’s Avengers: Doomsday.
In a new video interview with GQ that draws on fan questions, Garfield read a question from X/Twitter wondering if he and Tobey Maguire would appear as their alt-universe Spider-Men in Doomsday.
The answer was blunt: “No, unequivocally fucking no.” (There was extra emphasis on the swear word.)
If you detect a hint of exhaustion there, this is coming from an actor who started his “I’m not in Spider Man: Brand New Day” denials early this year, when, in a separate GQ piece, he said, “I’m gonna disappoint you,” and said “no.”
He also added, “But I know no one’s gonna trust anything I say from now on.”
That’s a fair summation from a guy who once said, “I ain’t got a call” regarding his then-rumored role in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Do you believe him about Avengers: Doomsday? Do you believe him about Brand New Dayfor that matter?
We’ll find out next year, when Tom Holland suits up again to star as Spidey in Brand New Day on July 31, 2026, followed by Doomsday‘s arrival on December 18, 2026.
