In July Sony Pictures confirmed that there will be at least two more Spider-Man movies after The Amazing Spider-Man 2 hits theaters in May 2014. And everybody assumed star Andrew Garfield would reprise his role as the titular hero in all of them. But now, according to the man himself, that may not be the case.

Yahoo! Movies UK recently sat down with director Marc Webb and the cast of Spidey 2, including Garfield, Emma Stone, and Jamie Foxx. Most of the interview is dedicated to the usual gushing: intense action, great script, the sequel will be bigger, more epic, more emotional, etc. Garfield even says he cried at the pitch meeting, which, um, okay.Then Garfield is asked about Spidey 3 and 4. His response is that, while he’s under contract for the third installment, he hasn’t signed on for number four. In his words, “That’s all news to me. I mean, I’m under contract for another one after this… as far as a fourth one? That’s not anything to do with me.”Granted, that could just mean Sony jumped the gun by announcing the fourth film without locking down its lead, hardly unimaginable since the movie won’t come out until 2018. (As the video above explains, the fourth film may focus on ancillary characters anyway.) It could also be that Garfield doesn’t know the details of his deal as well as he thought. But that’s boring! Let’s speculate and say it means Garfield’s Parker will DIE in the third film and be replaced by the Ultimate Comics Spider-Man in the fourth. You heard it here first!
