Tobey Maguire has opened up on his return to his iconic, webslinging role in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Spider-Man: No Way Home.  

The actor portrayed Peter Parker in Sam Raimi's trilogy, which came to an end with 2007's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Spider-Man 3. Though tha✤t seemed to complet🐎e his tenure as Spidey, after much speculation, Maguire came back as the hero for a multiversal crossover in No Way Home alongside Tom Holland and Andrew Garfield.

, Maguire explained why he returned to the role. "I was intrigued immediately. In that conversation [with Sony producer Amy Pascal and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige], the intention, the lovꦿe and celebration of these movies, and what it meant to Amy and Kevin was apparent. And to me, when artists or people who are steering the creative process have an authentic, genuine intent of celebration and love – it just was so apparent in both of them, that I just wanted to join that." 

He continued: "I'm a big fan of Tom and those movies, and Andrew. So, it was definitely intriguing... But, it was really about getting together with these people and revisiting what was part of my history and getting a chance to come together. There are personal things, too, which are resolutions or a way to revisit and, I'm not quite sure how to put it, it's just to get back into that and, I don'ꦍt want to say close𝓰 the chapter, but revisit and have certain resolutions and just join in this loving creative spirit."

No Way Home has become one of the highest grossing movies of all time, and a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Snyder Cut-style campaign has been launched 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:calling for a fourth Raimi film – so who൩ knows if this is the last time we'll see Maguire in the red and blue suit.
