Spider-Man star Andrew Garfield recently responded to rumors connecting him to the role of Remus Lupin in the upcoming Harry Potter TV show. In a recent video, Garfield addressed the speculations linking him to yet another fan-favorite franchise, giving a cryptic reply, something the actor has become known for after his responses to questions about his involvement in Spider-Man: No Way Home before the film’s release.
Andrew Garfield responds to Remus Lupin question for Harry Potter reboot
While answering social media queries in a GQ video, the 42-year-old actor came across a comment that questioned his involvement in the much-awaited Harry Potter reboot. The comment simply read “REMUS LUPIN???” which led Andrew Garfield to reveal that he had only recently started familiarizing himself with the Harry Potter franchise.
“You know what, I’ve just started watching the Harry Potter films for the first time,” he said before adding, “I’m very late to the game. I’ve just started the third film. I’m really enjoying them. They’re really, really good films, really great stories.”
Notably, the Social Network star cleverly avoided answering the question about him playing Lupin directly. Garfield famously threw off questions about his involvement in Spider-Man: No Way Home, up until the film’s premiere in theaters, after which it was revealed that he was a major part of the film’s third act.
Notably, the third entry in the Harry Potter series, which Garfield mentioned he was up to, also marks the first appearance of Remus in the franchise. Therefore, it is possible that Garfield has dropped a hint regarding his involvement in the rebooted series. Nevertheless, with the Harry Potter TV show adapting one book per season, it would likely be a long time before fans get to see Andrew Garfield in the series, even if he does take on the role.
