Fans have been eagerly awaiting any confirmation or hints about their involvement and the internet is abuzz with theories and rumors.
Is Tobey Maguire returning as Spider-Man?
Tobey Maguire famously portrayed Peter Parker in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy from 2002 to 2007. His portrayal of the web-slinging superhero was widely praised, and he became an iconic figure in the superhero genre. Rumors started circulating that he might make a comeback after it was announced that Jamie Foxx would be reprising his role as Electro, a character he played in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, which starred Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man.
Andrew Garfield’s potential return
Andrew Garfield took over the role of Peter Parker/Spider-Man from Tobey Maguire for The Amazing Spider-Man series released between 2012 and 2014.
