Tobey Maguire was the first actor to play Spider-Man in the film series that began in 2002. After three movies as the web-slinger, he returned in Spider-Man: No Way Home for a special cameo alongside the other two Spider-Men — Andrew Garfield and Tom Holland. Now, there’s growing buzz that Maguire might once again don the Spidey suit for a film dedicated entirely to him.
Will Spider-Man 4 happen with Tobey Maguire?
The speculation around Tobey’s potential return with a fourth installment in the franchise began when The Batman 2 co-writer Mattson Tomlin expressed interest in taking the story forward. It all started in July, when a fan asked Tomlin on X (formerly Twitter), “If asked to write a screenplay, would you have any interest or vision for your take on Spider-Man? If so, what do you find interesting about the character?”
Responding to the question, Tomlin said he would love to explore Maguire’s Spider-Man balancing life as a family man. “Honestly, right now my main interest in this respect would be to write a Spider-Man 4 where Tobey’s Spider-Man is juggling being a husband and a father. Spider-Man as a father is where I gravitate towards, given the last eight films,” he wrote.
Now, months later, a fan asked Tomlin if there had been any movement on Spider-Man 4. To this, the writer replied, “Slow and steady wins the race. There won’t be anything to say about that for a long time (if ever!) because it involves a lot of people and politics and things going right that have nothing to do with me — but I haven’t gotten a ‘no’ yet!”
