See Dr Michael Heiser for further information
The book “The Unseen Realm” by Dr Michael Heiser gives a lot of detail on this sort of thing. The linguistic and historical evidence leans very strongly towards Genesis 6 referring to fallen angels procreating with human women, as well as to the historical veracity of 1 Enoch (though that book is not inspired/inerrant/infallible).
Two things about the passage in Matthew: That passage doesn’t say that angels CAN’T marry, it only says they DON’T. It also says that “angels in Heaven” don’t marry, but Genesis 6 is specifically referring to angels who left their Heavenly abode and took up with human women (all in rebellion against God).
Unfortunately, a lot of literature on this topic is a load of sensationalistic nonsense about the End Times. However, I would highly recommend Doug Van Dorn’s book “Giants: Sons Of The Gods.
Another thing to mention is that just as there are civilizations around the globe that have legends and stories about a worldwide flood, many of those same civilizations ALSO have legends and stories about giants — including in the Americas.
