Tom Holland’s Ominous SpiderMan Quotes Tease Tobey Maguire’s Return

Tom Holland’s ominous quotes about Spider-Man: No Way Home may hint at Tobey Maguire’s return to the web-slinging role. No Way Home is about to have far-reaching consequences in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In the first trailer for the film, Peter Parker (Tom Holland) goes to Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) for help after the world learns that he’s secretly Spider-Man. Despite being warned against it, Doctor Strange attempts a dangerous memory wipe spell, and things inevitably go wrong. After the magic goes awry, the spell opens a hole in the Multiverse, and all of Sony’s past Spider-Man films come back into the story. Now, previous Spider-Man villains, such as Alfred Molina’s Doc Ock, are free to roam about the MCU.

Long before Holland took over the role of Peter Parker, Tobey Maguire starred in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man films from the 2000s. Maguire was the first actor to suit up as Spider-Man for a big-budgeted Marvel film, and it was a resounding box office success. Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man earned more than $800 million and was third among the highest-grossing films of 2002. The movie resulted in two sequels, with 2007’s Spider-Man 3 marking Maguire’s last appearance as the character. In all, the trilogy of movies earned around $2.5 billion at the box office.

Holland sees No Way Home as the end of the MCU’s Spider-Man films, which may be good news for fans of Maguire. According to Holland, the creators behind No Way Home are viewing it as “the end of a franchise” as well as the end of “three generations” as Holland more recently mentioned. The film will apparently end the Spider-Man: Homecoming trilogy and thus if the MCU revisits the characters in future films, the new Spider-Man films would be different tonally. Most importantly here, No Way Home being an ending means Marvel and Sony need to go all out, and while darkness is promised, that’s nothing without the spectacle to balance it and to live up to the billing. That sense of ceremony should mean that an appearance by Maguire – and indeed the mooted return of Andrew Garfield’s Peter Parker too – feels all the more likely.

The idea of Tobey Maguire appearing in the MCU to help underline the ceremony of that “ending” isn’t unprecedented, crucially. In fact, rumors have been around since 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming, and with each sequel, the MCU has inched closer and closer to a possible return. First, there were multiple Easter eggs from Maguire’s Spider-Man films in Homecoming, including an almost-upside-down kiss and then, more overtly, Spider-Man: Far From Home brought back J.K. Simmons’ J. Jonah Jameson from Raimi’s films. After Simmons’ shocking appearance as Jameson, director Jon Watts commented on a possible Maguire appearance in an interview (via HuffPost), saying, “At Marvel, I would say anything is on the table.” Given the fact that Tom Holland’s Peter Parker has wrestled with his Spider-Man identity, and has been saddled with mentors, having the original Spidey return to help firm up his self-image and superhero duty makes a lot of sense, even without the teases so far.

Everything Marvel has done before No Way Home has set up the perfect conditions for Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man star to return. The Multiverse has opened up infinite possibilities in the MCU, and the return of past Spider-Man villains also makes a Maguire appearance seem logical. With fans clamoring and petitioning Marvel for Maguire to return, anything less than that would be disappointing, despite Kevin Feige warning of precisely that sort of potential disappointment. Considering Holland’s quotes about the new film ending the franchise and bringing generations together for a dark, emotionally heavy spectacle, it seems Spider-Man: No Way Home surely isn’t planning to disappoint.
