In an interview with GQ UK, Garfield pointed out that this is "simply not true".
"I'm going to disappoint you. Yes, I'm not part of a movie. But I know that from now on, no one will believe anything I say," he joked.
Garfield was referring to the fact that he spent an entire year denying his involvement in Holland's 2021 Spider-Man: No Way Home movie, in which he did end up making a surprise cameo appearance.
In "No Way Home," Garfield appeared as his iteration of the superhero Spider-Man, whom he played in 2012's "The Amazing Spider-Man" and "The Amazing
Spider-Man 2" from 2014 - alongside another fellow "Spidey" actor, Tobey Maguire, who continued Garfield's role in a trilogy of films in the 1990s.
Garfield and Maguire's appearance in the MCU's 2021 film was met with great enthusiasm from the Spider-Man fandom and beyond, making No Way Home the highest-grossing film of that year.
Garfield recently said he would "100% come back" to reprise his role, telling Esquire in October that he would return "if it's the right thing, if it's an addition to the culture, if it has a great concept or something that hasn't been done before that's unique and weird and exciting and you can sink your teeth into."
In the interview with GQ UK, the actor also said that even if he doesn't return to the role of the web-slinging hero, he is open to starring in another large-scale franchise.
"If I feel in tune with my soul and it would be fun," he said. "Maybe at some point I'll have five kids and I'll have to start saving for school fees or something," he concluded. | BGNES
