Andrew Garfield Is Right No Way Home Rumors May Disappoint SpiderMan Fans

Andrew Garfield is worried that Spider-Man: No Way Home rumors will leave audiences disappointed with the movie, and he may be right. The third installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s trilogy of Spider-Man films is quickly becoming the most-anticipated MCU entry since Avengers: Endgame hit theaters in 2019, and fan expectation for what the film will deliver is through the roof. And that sense of expectation — largely fueled by unsubstantiated rumors — has the potential to derail the film entirely and leave many fans unsatisfied.

Spider-Man: No Way Home is set to open the MCU’s multiverse in all-new ways, and will see Peter Parker (Tom Holland) attempt to erase the world’s knowledge of his secret identity with the help of a spell cast by Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch). However, when Peter messes up the spell and causes a merging of parallel universes, a new crisis threatens to unleash a multiverse of villains on Peter’s world. Those villains are thus far confirmed to include Doc Ock (once again played by Alfred Molina), Electro (Jamie Foxx), and the Green Goblin (likely to be played by a returning Willem Dafoe, although this remains yet another rumor).

With the multiverse confirmed to be transporting previous villains from both the Sam Raimi-directed Spider-Man trilogy and the Amazing Spider-Man duology to the MCU, fan expectation for who else might return from the previous Sony Spider-Man films is reaching a fever pitch. Not only are a handful of other villains rumored to appear, but the long-standing speculation that Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield will be reprising their respective Spider-Man roles has become accepted as an inevitable fact by many of the MCU faithful. And while it’s still possible (even likely) that such cameos do occur, Garfield’s comments about how expectations can ruin movies for audiences is a warning that viewers would be wise to heed. Here’s a look at each of these rumors, and why people might be setting themselves up for disappointment.

Andrew Garfield Warned About No Way Home Expectations

Andrew Garfield Is Right No Way Home Rumors May Disappoint SpiderMan Fans

In a recent interview, the busy Andrew Garfield was once again asked about the rumors of his return in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Garfield has been pressed about appearing in the film for months by various news outlets, and has denied involvement with the production every time. In this interview, Garfield speaks about how he’s “afraid [the movie is] going to be very disappointing for people” in relation to the expectations people have assigned to it. “What can I do? I have to let people be disappointed,” Garfield says. “If they want to create an expectation for themselves. That’s up to them.” Garfield also recently spoke about a supposed leaked video showing him on the set of No Way Home wearing his Spider-Man suit, saying that the footage was a hoax created with deepfake technology and once again casting doubt on the idea of him showing up in the movie. Later, a video was shared by the person who supposedly created the Andrew Garfield deepfake photo explaining how he did it.

Rumors & Unconfirmed Cameos Have Increased No Way Home Expectations

Andrew Garfield Is Right No Way Home Rumors May Disappoint SpiderMan Fans

When it comes to specific fan expectations, Spider-Man: No Way Home is easily the most anticipated film in Marvel’s slate of upcoming MCU installments. This is largely due to two key factors: multiverse potentiality, and nostalgia. With the possibility of any character from any previous Spider-Man movies making an appearance, rumors and speculation have truly run wild, with one of the most popular theories being that Doctor Strange’s multiverse tampering is leading to the first cinematic appearance of the Sinister Six. This conglomerate of Spidey’s greatest villains already includes three villains who are confirmed to appear in the film: Green Goblin, Doc Ock, and Electro. With the trailer for No Way Home supposedly including a brief shot of the Lizard from The Amazing Spider-Man, many fans are now expecting everyone from Sandman from Spider-Man 3, Rhino from Amazing Spider-Man 2, the Vulture from Spider-Man: Homecoming, and Mysterio from Spider-Man: Far From Home to make appearances.

However, the biggest rumor surrounding the film is easily the return of Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, which would result in three Spider-Men teaming up onscreen. Exactly how this team-up could occur is unknown, but with villains from each previous Spider-Man series coming back, fans are now expecting both versions of Spidey to appear, as well. However, despite the high likelihood of this crossover happening in some way, there has been no confirmation of Maguire and Garfield’s return, nor confirmation that the Lizard, Sandman, or other villains will have roles in the film. Rumors that Kirsten Dunst’s Mary Jane Watson and Emma Stone’s Gwen Stacy will cameo in the film are also unsubstantiated.

How No Way Home Might Repeat A WandaVision Problem

Andrew Garfield Is Right No Way Home Rumors May Disappoint SpiderMan Fans

If all of this speculation and setup for potential disappointment sounds familiar, that’s because the No Way Home situation is remarkably similar to another recent case of expectation derailing an MCU project. Throughout the run of the Disney+ streaming series WandaVision, viewers began to speculate that the dark force controlling Wanda’s fate was the Marvel villain Mephisto. Rumors began to spread that this was indeed the case, and as WandaVision neared its conclusion, audiences began to transform that speculation into an expectation. When WandaVision finally ended with no Mephisto reveal, many fans were disappointed and even angry that the show hadn’t unfolded in the way they’d expected. Instead of judging the show based on what it had presented to them, viewers instead chose to judge it based on rumors that turned out to be false. No Way Home could very easily suffer this same fate and be judged not for its own merits, but rather for not delivering on rumors.

Why Andrew Garfield’s Is Right In Saying No Way Home Will Disappoint Because Of Rumors

With Spider-Man: No Way Home still several months away, the amount of hype and unconfirmed rumors will only grow. By December, many viewers will have built up unreasonable expectations for what they believe will unfold onscreen. For those fans, it’s likely the film will leave them disappointed, regardless of how good the movie actually is. The likelihood that every single supposed cameo, character return, and specific plot point will happen is low, and expecting all of these things to play out is not only unreasonable, but will inevitably result in the movie being judged unfairly. In this regard, Andrew Garfield couldn’t be more correct in his fear that the film will disappoint some fans. Regardless of how everything play out, one thing is certain: the hype train for Spider-Man: Far From Home isn’t slowing down, and for better or for worse, there’s nothing Marvel can do to stop fan expectation from potentially damaging the movie.
