Andrew Garfield says he'd be down to reprise his role as Peter Parker – as long as it brings joy.

"It was really healing for me," Garfield told Esquire. "For sure, I would 100 percent come back if it was the right thing, if it’s additive to the culture, if there’s a great concept or something that hasn’t been done before that’s unique and
odd and exciting and that you can sink your teeth into. I love that character, and it brings joy. If part of what I bring is joy, then I’m joyful in return."

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 hit theaters in 2014 to similar box office success, but a third film was ultimately cancelled. Thankfully, we got to see Garfield reprise the role in Spider-Man: No Way Home alongside Jamie Foxx's Electro (which I think is one of the most underrated on-screen supervillain performances of all time and yes, you can fight me on that).
