Over 30,000 Spider-Man fans are hoping for a miracle, and have signed a petition for Sony to make The Amazing Spider-Man 3.
It’s been 9 years since the planned Amazing Spider-Man trilogy abruptly ended following a disappointing second film. However, many fans haven’t quite let go of what could have been, and are still campaigning to get Andrew Garfield his third film.

A petition was launched titled “Make ‘Amazing Spider-Man 3’ starring Andrew Garfield”, which is currently sitting at just under 33,000 signatures.

The catalyst for the campaign came from Garfield’s reprisal of the character in the MCU Spider-Man: No Way Home, which brought together three Spider-Man from three different film franchises, Tobey Maguire from the original trilogy of films, Andrew Garfield from the reboot series, and current Spider-Man Tom Holland, who’s the only one planned for a fourth film.
During the events of the film, we all collectively shed a tear when Andrew’s version of Peter Parker recounted the loss of his beloved Gwen Stacey, who he failed to save from a fatal fall during the final battle of Amazing Spider-Man 2. Apparently he never truly got over the loss, and took his anger and frustration out on his rogues gallery. During the climax of No Way Home, Tom Holland’s MJ falls off the Statue of Liberty, only for Garfield’s web slinger to save the day at the last minute, leading to a heroic and emotional redemption moment that fans adored.
Since then, fans have been practically begging Sony to bring back the Amazing Spider-Man series, leading to the petition, which states it’s about “a Spider-Man that deserves something. Something that Tobey and Tom respectfully had. A third try.”
A truly heart-warming sentiment, and while it’s unlikely The Amazing Spider-Man 3 will ever enter production, there are rumours that Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man will return in some capacity, potentially in some of Sony’s upcoming villain/anti-hero films like Venom 3 or Kraven The Hunter.

It’s been a good year for Spidey’s fans, with incredible films like the Oscar-worthy Across The Spider-Verse, as well as the upcoming Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, which will be swinging onto PlayStation 5 in October.
Hopefully the end of the year can be rounded off with some official good news about Garfield’s return in future projects.
