Spider-Man Deepfake replaces Tom Holland with Tobey Maguire

Rumors in which Tobey Maguire will appear Spider-Man: No Coming Home have apparently been overwritten. So how will we ever see him in the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Thanks YouTuber Shamook for a new deepfake inserting Maguire into Spider-Man: Homecoming, Spider-Man: Far From Home and Avengers: Infinity War scenes in place of the current Spider-Man Tom. Holland.

Watch the surprisingly transparent video below:

While Maguire looks a bit like a bobble head with a disproportionately small body in some scenes, he looks mostly at home. If anything, this deepfake reveals the similarities between Holland and Maguire’s features: hair, eyebrows, mouth.

Not to turn the mood down, but the more alarming use of deepfake technology has once again been in the spotlight: a visual effects artist recently created a host of viral Tom Cruise deepfakes doing things like performing magic tricks or playing golf. The implications of the technology, which was used to disrupt the elections and violate people’s privacy, are a stone’s throw from the deepfakes movie redesign.

Shamook also attempted to insert Maguire into Sony’s The Amazing Spider-Man in place of Andrew Garfield. Does it also work one way or another?
