Summary

It has been almost three years since Garfield joinedthe MCU timelinevia theSpider-Man: No Way Homecast, where he got to share the screen with other live-action Spider-Men. Garfield’s appearance allowed him to get his biggest adventure yet as Spider-Man, especially afterThe Amazing Spider-Man 2in 2014.
Even thoughThe Amazing Spider-Man 2made over $700 million dollars at the worldwide box office, Garfield’s Marvel sequel was poorly received, andThe Amazing Spider-Man 3never happened in the long run.

Deadpool, reconfiguring the sequel to explore a unique and surreal theoretical plot scenario.

5 Things Andrew Garfield’s Amazing Spider-Man 2 Got Right
Andrew Garfield’s The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was overstuffed, but it was not a bad movie, as the film got some Peter Parker fundamentals right.
How Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man Could Team-Up With Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool
Ever since his appearance inSpider-Man: No Way Home, the MCU audience has been eagerly hoping for Garfield to reprise his version of the Marvel icon in future Marvel Studios projects. One possibility that could happen as early as this summer is if Garfield was somehow part oftheDeadpool & Wolverinecast. With the multiverse being a central plot element in the film,Deadpool & Wolverinewould be a natural movie for Garfield’s Spider-Man to show up in, even for just a cameo.
A brief cameo inDeadpool & Wolverinecould also be used to show what Garfield’s Spider-Man has been up to ever since he got sent back to his world afterSpider-Man: No Way Home. If not this summer, Garfield’s Spider-Man and Reynolds' Deadpool could always team-up inAvengers: Secret Wars,as the MCU gets to the end ofThe Multiverse Saga. That could also be a fun way to have Reynolds' Deadpool meet Tobey Maguire and Tom Holland’s versions of Spider-Man, while also crossing paths with Garfield’s variant.
Based onDeadpool & Wolverine’s popular reception even prior to release, Reynolds' Deadpool is more likely than not going to re-emerge sooner rather than later. Given the big success withSpider-Man: No Way Home, it would be shocking if Marvel Studios, along with Sony Pictures, hadn’t already locked Garfield in for a new deal to return as Spider-Man. But for now, time will tell how much deeper theMCUwill go into the multiverse when the franchise gets towards the end of Phase 6.
