Rumors have been swirling for months about Tom Holland‘s ‘Spider-Man’ appearing in a crossover film with previous Spider-Man actors Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire. However, Garfield has shut down the rumors while promoting his latest film at the Toronto International Film Festival.
The actor is clearly tired of the constant speculation surrounding his potential involvement in the still-untitled Spider-Man movie. While doing interviews for his new A24 film ‘We Live in Time‘ at the festival, Garfield took time to address the ‘Spider-Man 4′ rumors head-on with journalists. Here’s what he said.

When asked directly about the rumors of joining the Spider-Man crossover by the Indie Wire, Garfield was blunt in his response. “I mean, like the internet is a big place,” he said. “I think there’s a lot of people who will just say anything to get clicks. So you might have been duped, I’m afraid,” the actor added.
Garfield clearly isn’t a fan of rumors spreading online without a real source. As an actor used to such speculation, he seems to take most of it with a grain of salt.
