Now it has been revealed the actor's absence at an event as the main reason. Sony company's chief Kaz Hirai was supposed to announce another sequel, which was to be titled "The Amazing Spider-Man 3" for a 2017 release. However, Andrew could not make it at the event due to illness as a result of jetlag. The absence of the 38-year-old caused friction between him and Sony, and the company ultimately "let go" of him.
After the Sony hack in 2014, an email relating to the incident was released which reportedly read:
“Here we are about one hour away from our Gala event and Andrew decides he doesn’t want to attend. He has a rather scruffy beard and he just wants to be left alone.”
Asked if he intentionally self-sabotaged, which led to his dismissal in December 2016, the Garfield denied it and told he did not compromise who he was, and that might have been difficult for some people.
