Andrew Garfield could be starring in Martin Scorsese’s upcoming Jesus film

Martin Scorsese’s upcoming Jesus film is generating buzz as rumors swirl that actor Andrew Garfield may be joining the cast. Garfield, known for his role as Spider-Man, could potentially play a pivotal role in the adaptation of Shūsaku Endō’s book, “A Life of Jesus.”

While Scorsese has not confirmed Garfield’s role, fans are eager to see the actor’s potential portrayal of Jesus, one of his disciples, or another character in the film. This collaboration wouldn’t be the first for Garfield and Scorsese, as they previously worked together on the 2016 movie “Silence.”

In a recent interview, Garfield expressed his fascination with faith and spirituality, stating that questions of faith and the mystery of a spiritual life are what draw him to certain roles. He revealed that if he weren’t an actor, he would likely be studying theology.

Despite his interest in spirituality, Garfield has been open about his own beliefs, describing himself as pantheist, agnostic, occasionally atheist, and a little bit Jewish. However, his exploration of faith through his characters on screen continues to captivate audiences.

Production for the new Jesus film is set to begin later this year, with Scorsese aiming to create a thought-provoking and entertaining piece. As details about the cast and storyline emerge, fans eagerly anticipate Garfield’s potential involvement in this unique and impactful project.
