Despite the fact that Sony has set out its plans to expand its Amazing Spider-Man franchise with the sequels The Amazing Spider-Man 3 and The Amazing Spider-Man 4, as well as spin-offs for Venom and The Sinister Six, so far leading man Andrew Garfield been reluctant to commit himself beyond the third movie of the rebooted series.
However, if – and given the source, this is a huge if – the British tabloid The Daily Star is to be believed, Sony may have just reached a deal with Garfield which will see him remaining in the role of Spidey through to 2020. Presumably, this would include the at least one of the aforementioned spin-offs alongside the third and fourth Spider-Man movies (which are set for 2016 and 2018), leaving the studio enough time to shoehorn in a fifth in 2020, despite the fact that Garfield will be 36 by that time.
Would you like to see Garfield in the role of Spider-Man through to 2020?
