A new rumor suggesting fans will likely see a beloved Marvel actor return for Avengers: Secret Wars has surfaced. Like its predecessor, Avengers: Doomsday, Secret Wars is expected to be a massive cinematic event. Notably, they made their MCU debut in 2021, essentially reprising their role from a previous film series.
Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man likely to return in Avengers: Secret Wars
Andrew Garfield will reportedly return as Spider-Man in Avengers: Secret Wars, according to a new rumor. It comes from a familiar industry scooper, Daniel Richtman. Garfield earlier reprised the character — whom he essayed in Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man films — in 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, with his appearance sparking renewed fan interest in his iteration of the webslinger.
In an October 2025 MTV interview, Garfield was asked about a possible appearance in Secret Wars. The actor offered a vague response, neither confirming nor denying his involvement, but stressed that fans would eventually learn. He said, “See, what it is, is this a tell? Or what is it? You’ll find out! Whatever response I’m having, is it exasperation? Is it? I don’t know. You’ll find out.”
Richtman reposted Top News’ post, highlighting part of his response along with the caption, “He will be back.”
Needless to say, this is nothing more than a rumor as of writing. Marvel has yet to officially confirm Garfield’s participation in the Avengers: Doomsday sequel.
Recently, Garfield revealed in an interview that the question about him returning as Spider-Man would stay with him well into his old age. Speaking to Heart, he stated, “I think it’s a question that’s probably going to follow me for the rest of my life, ‘Are you secretly in the new Spider-Man film?’ Until I’m 90 years old.” He continued, “They’re going to be asking me, ‘Are you in the new Spider-Man Volume 512? I’ll be like, ‘I’m literally weeing into a colostomy bag, and I don’t have any,’” Garfield further stated, “But also, people can ask me whatever they want; my life is very blessed.”
Avengers: Secret Wars is currently on track for a December 17, 2027, theatrical release.
