There has been lingering rumors about the prospect of “The Amazing Spider-Man 3. But according to recent reports, it was actually Andrew Garfield who drove the final nail on the coffin of the supposed “The Amazing Spider-Man 3” movie when he snubbed Sony Pictures chief Kaz Hirai in an event in Rio de Janeiro in the summer of 2014.
Hirai would have introduced Garfield as the star of the upcoming “The Amazing Spider-Man 3” film during the event but for some reason the temperamental and moody actor did not show up even though he flew into the country before the event. Garfield just claimed that he was feeling under the weather and could not make it to the event.
As a result, the speech of Hirai had to be changed and the rest, as everyone knows it, is history. Had Garfield showed up in the event, Hirai would have pushed for “The Amazing Spider-Man 3” movie before deciding to work out and forged an agreement with Marvel Studios.
But with what Garfield had done, Hirai was left no choice but to junk the “The Amazing Spider-Man 3” movie project and eventually signed a deal with Marvel Studios a few months later.
Late in June, Marvel Studios and Sony Entertainment have formally buried the persistent rumors about the “Amazing Spider-Man 3” by officially casting Tom Holland to take on the role of Peter Parker and the web-slinging superhero for the “Spider-Man” movie reboot which will hit theaters on July 28, 2017.
