Tobey Maguire’s new comments have reignited speculation about the actor’s possible return to the big screen as Spider-Man. Tobey Maguire played the first live-action Spider-Man in Hollywood. The Spider-Man catapulted him into the spotlight, making him as well-known as a comic-book Spider-Man. Toby quickly fell in love with Spider-Man, who is undoubtedly one of the two or three most idolized superheroes in comic book history.
Maguire never wore the cape again after the third Spider-Man film in the early 2000s, until Kevin Feige surprised fans with Spider-Man: No Way Home. The actor’s reappearance in Tom Holland’s Spider-Man: No Way Home sparked new rumors about the actor’s possible appearance in Avengers: Secret Wars.
While the Marvel Cinematic Universe is about to enter Phase 5 next month, executives are already planning the next phase. Tobey’s most recent comments are evidence of his potential presence in Avengers 6, even though there is still a chance that Marvel Studios will cast other stars as well for a comeback.
