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.

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?”
