Some were disappointed when Marvel decided to re-cast Spider-Man rather than keep Andrew Garfield on board. Marvel felt that it needed to reboot the character entirely rather than continue The Amazing Spider-Man franchise. Well, it turns out Andrew Garfield wanted Sony to make a deal with Marvel much sooner:

With the next Spider-Man movie, you can just watch it like the rest of us!

Exactly, yeah. And I’ve been petitioning to hook up with Marvel since the beginning, so I’m really glad they’re finally doing it.

Were you ever in talks with Marvel to continue on as Peter?

No. To be honest [pauses], all the ins and outs of what happened is a more tender conversation that maybe I don’t want to talk about in public in a press situation. But all I can say is that I’m stoked to go and watch a Marvel film of Spider-Man.

He also added:

“I’m really, really grateful for the whole ride of it,” Garfield told us. “And I’m really excited for the next one.”

So. What do you think Spider-Man fans? Would you have rather seen Garfield back as Spider-Man in the MCU?
