“I’m going to rest for a little bit,” Garfield explained in an interview with Variety that was published on Wednesday, April 27. “I need to recalibrate and reconsider what I want to do next and who I want to be and just be a bit of a person for awhile. Because as you know, that is a washing machine, that awards season.”

He added, “I need to just be a bit ordinary for a while.”

This news comes after Garfield wrapped his most recent project, a miniseries titled Under the Banner of Heaven. The gritty crime drama features the Hacksaw Ridge star as he helms the role of Detective Jeb Pyle, following his chilling investigation into the murder of a woman and her baby in Salt Lake Valley. This was a job that he explained left the cast needing time to have fun and let loose.

“I think it was actually a necessity for us to have game nights and go into nature and hike and you know, swim and dive and lakes and dance and eat good food so that we could really come back and fully give ourselves [to the work],” Garfield explained of the heavy shoot. “We had to keep on taking care of ourselves so that we can take care of the story.”

"It was only beautiful," Garfield told the outlet "I got to meet Emma [Stone] and work with her and Sally Field."
