A new fan trailer for Spider-Man 4 presents a clever concept for Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man to make a comeback in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Since the release of Spider-Man: No Way Home, fans have eagerly anticipated the return of Maguire and Andrew Garfield's versions of Peter Parker, while also eagerly awaiting more of Tom Holland's adventures in the MCU. Fans have been campaigning for Sony Pictures to find a way to continue the stories of Maguire's Spider-Man 4 film and Garfield's The Amazing Spider-Man 3, and Screen Culture has now unveiled a brand new Spider-Man 4 fan trailer that delves into Maguire's character's journey after the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home.
This fan trailer envisions Maguire's Spider-Man crossing paths with the Time Variance Authority, a concept introduced in the first season of Loki in the MCU. It also serves as a crossover with Sony's Spider-Man Universe, featuring Venom, Morbius, and Kraven the Hunter.
Will Spider-Man 4 With Tobey Maguire Actually Happen?
The uncertain future of Spider-Man 4 hinges on Sony Pictures' decision to move forward with it. It seems unlikely that Maguire's film series will be revived while Holland continues as the current Spider-Man, as Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures have plans for a sequel trilogy with Holland. However, considering the immense success of Spider-Man: No Way Home, it wouldn't be surprising if Sony Pictures found a way to continue Maguire's interpretation of the Marvel hero.
Realistically, Spider-Man 4 may be a lost cause, considering the significant time that has passed since Maguire's original trilogy ended. Nevertheless, there is no obstacle preventing Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios from further exploring his storyline through other Marvel projects. Whether it be a cameo in another Holland-Spider-Man film or an appearance in Avengers: Secret Wars, if the creative team has compelling story arcs for Maguire's character, there are alternative movies where they can realistically bring those ideas to life, without the necessity of producing a standalone Spider-Man 4.
Hopefully, Maguire will make an appearance in Avengers: Secret Wars, considering the significant role Spider-Man: No Way Home played in The Multiverse Saga. Only time will reveal if Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures have been covertly working to bring Maguire back, even though the film is not slated for release until 2027. While the possibility of Spider-Man 4 seems unlikely, unexpected occurrences are not uncommon in Hollywood.
