‘Avengers: Doomsday’ rumors spark an intriguing Andrew Garfield reply
Andrew Garfield finally addresses Avengers: Doomsday, but his careful wording still leaves you guessing.
The awkward beat came after a clean denial. Cornered on camera and asked again if he’s in the next Avengers movie, Andrew Garfield didn’t give the usual coy shrug. He shot back a flat answer, then repeated it straight into the lens when the reporter asked him to do it again.
“No, I’m not.”
“I’m not. I’m not.”
That should have been the end of it. Instead, when the interviewer reminded him of his track record of evasions before Spider- Man: No Way Home, Garfield didn’t push back. He added a line that set off alarms for fans who remember that last round of denials.
“Yeah, so you’ll find out, I suppose, one way or the other.”
The exchange, captured by Variety, immediately rekindled speculation that Garfield might again be playing the long game—especially with the internet buzzing about the next Avengers film, widely talked about online as Avengers: Doomsday. Official materials currently circulating for the movie do not list Garfield or Tobey Maguire, and neither actor has been announced by Marvel Studios.
That hasn’t stopped the rumor mill. Unverified chatter has tied a pile of marquee MCU names to the project—up to and including Robert Downey Jr. in a surprising Doctor Doom turn, plus Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth and the new Fantastic Four ensemble—and even claimed principal photography has wrapped. None of that has been confirmed by Marvel, and there’s still no studio-sanctioned slot for either former Spider-Man.
- What’s public now: Garfield and Maguire are not on the film’s official cast lists.
- Garfield’s on-camera denial came via Variety, followed by his “you’ll find out” add-on.
- Marvel has not announced Garfield’s involvement nor commented on cameo rumors.
AI chatter hits the art book
Separate from the casting noise, a stranger claim bubbled up online: an account known for parody posts alleged that every image in an Avengers: Doomsday art book showed signs of generative AI. The post linked to an article that has since disappeared, and the provenance is murky at best. Marvel has issued no confirmation that AI tools were used on artwork for Doomsday or for Avengers: Secret Wars.
Old comments from filmmakers Joe and Anthony Russo about AI being a potential tool—one they framed as needing human oversight—resurfaced as the rumor spread. Adding to the sensitivity, a recent Spider-Man: Brand New Day art book drew backlash when fans flagged a warped taxi and a bent fire escape in one image as telltale AI artifacts. Those flare-ups have made any hint of AI in Marvel-adjacent art a lightning rod.
As of now, Marvel Studios has not commented publicly on the AI claims around Avengers: Doomsday or Secret Wars.
