Here’s your warning: spoilers for Spider-Man: No Way Home will follow immediately below the embedded podcast, so if you’ve yet to see the film, now is your chance to bail on this article and come back later.
With the release of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Marvel fans not only got to continue their adventure with Tom Holland’s Peter Parker but were given the chance to be reunited with past, beloved Spider-Mans (sorry, saying “Spider-Men” just feels weird to me) played by Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield.
Virtually every day since the film hit theaters, “Amazing Spider-Man 3” has been trending on Twitter, as fans are now desperate to see the story of Andrew Garfield’s Peter Parker continued, especially considering how abruptly the franchise ended back in 2014 following the wildly disappointing The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
The reason that fans are now so in favor of the idea of a third Amazing Spider-Man film is that Garfield was an absolute scene-stealer as the character in No Way Home, instantly reminding audiences that, while the films may have been generally subpar, his performance as Peter Parker absolutely was not.
While the original The Amazing Spider-Man isn’t as bad as its current reputation, the sequel, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, absolutely is. In fact, No Way Home seemed acutely aware of that fact, as the film poked fun at both Paul Giamatti’s Rhino and the way in which Jamie Foxx’s Electro obtained his powers (by falling into a vat of electric eels).
Spider-Man fans are now planning an online campaign to try and get Sony to make The Amazing Spider-Man 3 with #AndrewGarfield! They'll be using the hashtag #MakeTASM3. pic.twitter.com/QMPRpEsaZ5

I don't know if I really want to see The Amazing Spider-Man 3. I do want to see more Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man, though.

Now, while a third Amazing Spider-Man film is unfortunately unlikely, the existence of the multiverse within the MCU makes the character returning for a massive event film — perhaps something like Secret Wars, which will certainly happen down the road — more than possible.
