Actor Tobey Maguire returned to play Peter Parker/Spider-Man once again alongside Andrew Garfield and Tom Holland in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Coming back to play the web-slinger helped Maguire feel “reinvigorated” about acting, he said the newly released book, Spider-Man: No Way Home – The Art of the Movie.
“Working with Andrew [Garfield] and Tom [Holland] was so dear to me, it really was special–a very rich experience for me, all around,” he said, as reported by The Direct. “It kind of reinvigorated my interest in performing. It felt like a real brotherhood, which was what we were aiming for, too, for us and for the characters.”
“But then to have those dynamics play out–feeling a real connection and love for these guys, and having fun and having a laugh–all of that was energizing and reinvigorating for me,” he added.
Before this, Maguire said he would jump at the chance to come back to play Spider-Man again. “Why wouldn’t I want to do that?” he said.
Spider-Man: No Way Home featured a multiverse storyline that allowed for Maguire and Garfield to reprise their Spider-Man characters alongside the current Spider-Man, played by Holland. The movie even featured a scene referencing the Spider-Man pointing meme.
More Spider-Man movies to come in the future are expected. Producer Amy Pascal addressed the possibility of another Spider-Man movie starring Holland. She said “of course” there will be another movie, but the script is not being developed at this time due to the ongoing writers’ strike. “We’re all being supporters and whenever they get themselves together, we’ll get started,” she said.
Holland has starred in three mainline Spider-Man movies so far, including Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019), and Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021). Holland has also played Spider-Man in multiple Avengers movies.
In addition to Holland’s next Spider-Man movie, a Spider-Woman film is in the works and will be here “sooner than you’d expect.”
