Since Avengers: Doomsday will have a multiverse story, any character from previous Marvel movies could return, as we’ll see with the 2000s X-Men . With that in mind, Andrew Garfield was asked about the possible return of his Spider-Man.
Garfield said he’s not in the movie. But, perhaps remembering how many times he denied being in Spider-Man: No Way Home, the film that reunited him with the Peter Parkers of Tom Holland and Tobey Maguire, he gave in: "You’ll find out one way or another."
