The Amazing Spider-Man fans have a day to look up to. Andrew Garfield led two live-action Spider-Man movies before his trilogy finale was scrapped. Ever since The Amazing Spider-Man 3 was canceled, fans have asked for the franchise to come back. That has only intensified in recent years, as Garfield returned as Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The actor joined Tobey Maguire and Tom Holland’s versions of Peter Parker for one of Marvel’s biggest movies ever, Spider-Man: No Way Home, which grossed nearly $2 billion worldwide. Garfield’s performance was one of the film’s most praised aspects, with the actor nabbing a Critics’ Choice Super Awards win for his role in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Now, Garfield’s Spider-Man franchise receives an update.
On Instagram, Netflix revealed that Andrew Garfield’s The Amazing Spider-Man movies will debut on the streamer on September 1. While this might not be an update related to the character’s future, as fans await to know if there is any chance Garfield will be part of Avengers: Doomsday’s cast, it opens the door for the Amazing Spider-Man franchise to get new viewers.
What The Amazing Spider-Man Movies Coming To Netflix Means
With both The Amazing Spider-Man movies set to arrive on Netflix soon, they could find themselves in the same position as another Marvel movie. Recently, Netflix’s Tudum was updated to reveal that Jennifer Garner’s Elektra has entered the streamer’s Global Top 10. Elektra ranks 7th on the chart for the week of August 11–17, with 5.1 million views and 8.2 million hours viewed.
Elektra and The Amazing Spider-Man franchise have a couple of elements in common. While Garfield’s Spider-Man movies did well at the box office, they were more criticized than Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man trilogy. As for Elektra, the Marvel movie was a flop, dealing with heavy criticism. The films also connect in the fact that both Garfield and Garner recently reprised their heroes in the MCU.
Given how Elektra, which performed much worse than The Amazing Spider-Man movies in theaters, is now surging in Netflix’s charts after Garner’s appearance in ᴅᴇᴀᴅpool & Wolverine, Garfield’s Spider-Man movies should be featured on Netflix’s Global Top 10 soon after their debut. The actor’s MCU appearance was well-received, so The Amazing Spider-Man franchise should find new life.
Our Take On The Amazing Spider-Man Movies Coming To Netflix
Andrew Garfield’s The Amazing Spider-Man movies coming to Netflix does not mean anything for his possible MCU future. However, those two things could connect in one way. If The Amazing Spider-Man franchise manages to perform strongly on the streamer, Marvel and Sony could catch wind of that for their plans beyond the next Spider-Man movie, Tom Holland’s Brand New Day.
Even if nothing comes out of it, September 1 will be an exciting day for Andrew Garfield Spider-Man fans either way. After all, both of the actor’s solo films as the wall-crawler will be available on Netflix, a major streaming platform, allowing more fans to rewatch their favorite The Amazing Spider-Man moments, reliving the epic love story between Peter and Gwen Stacy.
