The discussion then shifted to Spider-Man: Brand New Day, with Garfield revealing he had already caught a glimpse of the trailer, albeit under less-than-ideal conditions.

“I saw it, but I was in the makeup chair and watched it without sound,” he shared, noting he still needs to properly rewatch it. Despite that, he was impressed by what he saw, describing it as visually strong and hinting at a more intense tone.

According to Garfield, the upcoming installment appears to lean into a darker narrative, with Spider-Man facing meaningful internal and external struggles.

While nothing has been confirmed regarding Spider-Gwen’s live-action debut, the idea continues to gain traction among fans, and with Garfield backing Stone, it’s easy to see why.
