Andrew Garfield Responds to Spider-Man: Brand New Day Post-Credit Scene Rumours
Actor Andrew Garfield has addressed fan speculation surrounding a post-credit sequence in the recently released film Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Speaking in a recent interview, Garfield denied any knowledge or involvement in the scene that hints at the presence of another Spider-Man.
What Happened
Spider-Man: Brand New Day arrived in cinemas globally last week and has been drawing large crowds at the box office. Much of the post-release discussion has focused on its post-credit sequence involving a Spidey tracker developed by Ned Leeds.
In the scene, the device shows the live location of Tom Holland’s Spider-Man swinging through Queens before detecting a second Spider-Man soaring into outer space and disappearing into a green orbit. This moment led viewers to speculate whether another web-slinger would join Holland in a future movie. While Sony Pictures Entertainment has not confirmed the identity of the second character, many fans speculated it could be Andrew Garfield’s version of Spider-Man.
In an interview with Screen Rant, Garfield explicitly denied his involvement. He stated, “I do not (know anything about it). First I’ve heard of it,” before adding, “Not the werewolf, not me.” When asked if the second Spider-Man could be Tobey Maguire’s version or Miles Morales, Garfield added, “I guess so. It could be. Who knows? Or maybe Miles Morales. I don’t know.”
