Speculations and rumors continue flying around concerning the possible comeback of Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield in another Spider-Man film, specifically Spider-Man 4. Immediately following up on the gigantic success of Spider-Man: No Way Home, where all three live-action Spider-Men combined, it becomes a matter of time before more appearances by the previous web-slingers are demanded by fans.
There is a definitive interest from Sony and Marvel Studios to have Maguire and Garfield back into the fold. Sony alone has been reportedly seeking ways for both actors to appear in future projects, even potentially in Spider-Man 4. None of these plans are confirmed yet, as much of the discussion about them being involved still remains an open secret or pure speculation.
Although fans can get all worked up over another event with multiple Spider-Men, the truth is that nothing has yet been confirmed. The director of the original Spider-Man trilogy, Sam Raimi, has come clear to say that he has not been approached with any such proposition to work on a new Spider-Man movie with Tobey Maguire amid continuous interest from the fans.
Meanwhile, others indicated that Maguire and Garfield might appear in other Marvel movies or series, like the upcoming Avengers: Secret Wars or even the future Spider-Verse animated film. In this case, it is more plausible to have cameos rather than actually portraying them again for the sake of a solo film.
It could also concern creative differences in the development of the project. A source has stated that Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures may be at odds over the vision for the movie, with Marvel trying to take a more grounded approach and Sony aiming at something bigger.
Although overall, treading the possibility that Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield might don their Spider-Man suits once again is right, fans shall have to wait for an official confirmation to see whether these speculations become reality.
