Listen, everyone wants to play Spider-Man. This is perhaps the most sought after role of all the actors behind Hamlet and The Joker. To prove yourself as a young Hollywood A-lister, you better start learning the phrase «With great power comes great responsibility.»
One actor who would love to play Spider-Man is Tobey Maguire, an actor who has played Spider-Man four times. After playing Spider-Man throughout the 2000s, he’s donned the mask once again for 2021. Spider-Man: No Way Residence. For those of you back home, we’ve said the name «Spider-Man» five times in this article now.
«When they called at first, I was like, finally!» maguire said in an interview with, ahem, Marvel. «I got the call and was immediately ready to come and do this. Not without nerves – you know, ‘what will it be like and what will the experience be?’ But to show up with beautiful, talented, creative people and playing together? It’s just like, ‘Yes!’ It’s fun and exciting.
«I love those movies and I love all the different shows. If these guys called me up and said, ‘Would you come over tonight and hang out and have a laugh?’ or ‘Would you like to show up to do this movie or read a scene or do something with Spider-Man?’ It would be a «yes! Because why wouldn’t I want to do that?»
Maguire doesn’t appear onscreen much these days, other than going into pure Goblin mode in Babylon. Since this movie didn’t get that hot; it makes sense that he would tell Marvel that, yes, he would like another job, especially if he has to «read a scene» or «do some Spider-Man thing» or just drag scenes in the background until what the other Spider-Men are ready for a hug. Spider-Man Companion Andrew Garfield is also open to moreso we’re looking forward to the Marvel Cinematic Universe getting even heavier, confusing and loaded with crossovers. Excelsior!
