Is Tobey Maguire Returning in Spider-Man 4? Writer Hints at Peter Parker’s Comeback

by

As a lifelong Spider-Man fan, I’m incredibly excited by the recent news! It seems like Tobey Maguire might actually return as Peter Parker! Screenwriter Mattson Tomlin has let it slip that he’d love to write a Spider-Man 4 starring Tobey – and honestly, that’s a dream come true. After seeing him in the suit back in 2002, it would be amazing to see him reprise the role.

Mark Tomlinson, a writer on the upcoming The Batman: Part II, got fans talking after a recent post on X (formerly Twitter). When asked about his dream project, he said he’d love to write a fourth Spider-Man movie starring Tobey Maguire, focusing on Peter Parker balancing life as a husband and father.

The writer shared his interest in exploring an older, more experienced Peter Parker, particularly as a father figure, noting this has been a theme he’s been drawn to in recent Spider-Man movies. This comment has excited fans who would love to see Tobey Maguire return as Spider-Man in his own film, especially after his memorable team-up with Andrew Garfield and Tom Holland in ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ (2021). That movie famously brought together three different versions of Peter Parker, creating a major highlight in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Here’s what fans are speculating

When recently questioned about the possibility of a Spider-Man 4, actor Tom Holland offered a hopeful, though vague, response. He said, ‘Slow and steady wins the race…’ He explained that any progress depends on many people and complex negotiations outside of his control, but he hasn’t been told the project is definitely off the table.

While neither Tobey Maguire nor the studios have confirmed anything, fans are still buzzing about the possibility of more Spider-Man movies – either a continuation of Sam Raimi’s original trilogy or a new adventure within the Spider-Man multiverse.

Tom Holland’s upcoming Spider-Man and the Multiverse

Tom Holland will reprise his role as Spider-Man in the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe film, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which is set to come out on July 31, 2026. Zendaya will also be in the movie, and Holland has said it will be a new beginning for his character, Peter Parker, following the storyline of No Way Home.

Matt Reeves’ next Batman film, starring Robert Pattinson, is scheduled to come out in October 2027. Meanwhile, fans are buzzing about whether Tobey Maguire might return as Spider-Man, possibly portraying an older Peter Parker juggling his personal life with being a superhero.
