Marvel Fans Celebrate Spider-Man Star Andrew Garfield’s 40th Birthday

While there are still many fans who would love to see Andrew Garfield return as Spider-Man in his own third solo movie, and plenty of rumors that he may show up again in the epic conclusion of the MCU’s multiverse saga, both Marvel and non-Marvel fans had a reason to celebrate the actor today as he hit the milestone age of 40.

Celebrity birthdays are always a chance for fans to jump onto social media and share their favorite images, roles and more, so Garfield’s 40th birthday celebration proved to be no exception. Of course, the posts were dominated by images of Spider-Man, which is undoubtedly Garfield’s most discussed role, despite the wide-ranging array of characters he has taken on during his career so far.

Of course, of his roles, there are none that fans want to see him return to again as much as that of Peter Parker, but exactly how he may return is something that has also caused plenty of debate since he showed up in Spider-Man: No Way Home, along with fellow Spider-man stars Tom Holland and Tobey Maguire.

Some have already made up their minds that it is inevitable for both previous Spider-Man stars to show up in Avengers: Secret Wars, along with the likes of Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine, and any number of older Marvel stars. Others would much rather see both Maguire and Garfield get a shot at playing Spider-Man in belated sequels to their own movies, or end up being the Spider-Man who will eventually link into the universe of Spider-Man characters being crafted over at Sony, which has included Morbius, Venom and Kraven The Hunter. However, so far there is little to go on other than speculation and the word of many conflicting “scooper” reports.
