Spider-Man 3: Tom Holland denies Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield appear

Tom Holland has denied that Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield will return for Spider-Man 3. In an interview with Esquire, Holland, who has played Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since 2016’s Captain America: Civil War, strongly rejected rumors that Maguire and Garfield would reprise their respective roles as Spidey for the untitled Spider-Man: Far From Home sequel, which officially went into production late last year.

“No, no, they won’t appear in this movie,” he firmly told the publication when asked about the possibility of the two actors returning. “Unless they’ve been hiding the most massive information from me, which in my opinion is too big a secret for them to be able to hide from me. But for now, no. It will be a continuation. from the Spider-Man movies that we made. “

According to our previous video report above, there has been plenty of speculation that the past Spider-Flick stars could return for Spider-Man 3, with Maguire and Garfield being two of the names caught in the tangled web of rumors. A previous report stated that “Garfield will be back ”and that Maguire would join him if Sony and Marvel succeeded in closing the deal.

Despite Holland’s categorical denial of their involvement, Disney has a history of mishandling fans and leading them to believe that certain things will or will not happen in the movies, often saving the “big reveal” for when. the audience is seated in front of the big screen. On several occasions, red herrings have appeared in Disney marketing, so there’s a chance Holland has sworn to secrecy.

Maguire played Peter Parker and Spider-Man in Spider-Man in 2002, Spider-Man 2 in 2004, and Spider-Man 3. Garfield played Peter Parker and Spider-Man in The Amazing Spider-Man in 2012 and in The Amazing Spider -Man in 2014 2.

The confirmed and unconfirmed Spider-Man 3 casting lineup has teased a live-action Spider-Verse / multiverse crossover of epic proportions, which could be intertwined with subsequent events in the MCU, particularly Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of the madness.
