'I really love playing Spider-Man. I would love to play the character again in some capacity, but I think it would have to be very weird,' Garfield said during the panel, which ET bel Arabi shared on Instagram. 'I think I would want to do something very strange.'
He continued, 'I would want to do something very unique, and offbeat, and surprising, kind of like the creative freedom that they have with the animated Spider-Verse movies. I think they're so great and you can honor the character in so many different ways through the multiverse.'
The Oscar-nominated actor starred as Peter Parker in Sony's The Amazing Spider-Man in 2012 and reprised the role in its 2014 sequel. Although a third movie never came to fruition, Garfield was able to don the Spidey costume again in 2021's Spider-Man: No Way Home alongside Holland and former Spider-Man Tobey Maguire.

In an interview with Esquire from October 2024, Garfield said he was 'left dangling' after Sony didn't proceed with a third installment of his iteration of Spider-Man. The actor described his return in No Way Home as 'healing' and noted that he would like to reprise the role again.
'I would 100 percent come back if it was the right thing, if it's additive to the culture, if there's a great concept or something that hasn't been done before that's unique and odd and exciting and that you can sink your teeth into,' he told the publication. 'I love that character, and it brings joy. If part of what I bring is joy, then I'm joyful in return.'

Despite some early mistakes by Swiatek, she was able to rally in the first set and eventually force a tiebreak. But with the first set on the line, Sabalenka rose to the occasion, using her devastating serve to take the win. Swiatek answered back in the second set, taking an early 3-1 lead. While Sabalenka fought her back, Swiatek came out ahead this time around, winning the second set 6-4 to set up a decisive third set. It was the first time in the entire tournament that Sabalenka dropped a set. There was a lot riding on the final set for Swiatek, who has won the French Open the past three years.

Advertisement Things didn't start out well for Swiatek, as Sabalenka jumped up to an early 3-0 lead in the final set.
