Andrew Garfield has set the record straight on the rumors that he is returning as Spider-Man in Avengers: Secret Wars.

To this day, Marvel remains mum on the details regarding the upcoming installment.
Is Andrew Garfield Appearing as Spider-Man in Avengers: Secret Wars?
In a recent interview with The Playlist, Andrew Garfield was asked whether he would be open to returning as a "very strange" and "completely unconventional" Spider-Man in Avengers: Secret Wars.
As expected, he shot down the rumors and joked that the interviewer could write a spec script about that idea instead.
"Why don’t you write a spec script and I’ll read it? I don’t know. I mean, all of you’ve thought about this far, far more than I have," the actor said with a laugh.
However, Garfield noted that he is still open to playing Spider-Man again, whether it's in Secret Wars or in another Spider-Man movie in the future if an opportunity arises.
"Like, I honestly, it’s something that I do in my idle moments, go, ‘Oh, what could that be like,’ you know. Yeah, I get, I go into my seven-year-old imagination. And I’m like, ‘Oh, what would it be? What could it be? What would be fun? What would be healing? What would be joyful?’" he said.
"And, you know, I haven’t really landed on anything personally yet. But I’m sure that if it’s meant to be, it’ll be."
For now, fans should stay tuned for news and updates regarding Secret Wars in the coming weeks or months, since production has reportedly started.
