Tobey Maguire Reportedly Joins Avengers: Doomsday, But His Suit May Divide Fans

So, the Spider-verse rumor mill is spinning again: Tobey Maguire might swing back into the MCU for Avengers: Doomsday. Fun, right? Well... fans are already mad about one specific detail.

The rumor, the wrinkle

Industry tipster Daniel Richtman (aka DanielRPK) is telling folks that the Spider-Man in Avengers: Doomsday is Tobey Maguire. The catch: he would not be wearing a physical suit on set. Instead, Marvel would slap a fully CGI suit on him in post. The claim made the rounds via ScreenTime on November 19, 2025.

To be fair, Marvel doing digital supersuits is not new. Tom Holland had plenty of digital tweaks (and full-on CG) on his Far From Home getups. This is standard VFX-era superhero stuff.

Why fans are heated

The pushback is less about realism and more about vibe. A lot of Maguire fans grew up with that raised-web, tangible fabric suit and want that back. The reactions ranged from nostalgic pleas for the classic look, to tomato-throwing-level booing, to people saying they do not care if Tobey is older now — just do the real suit. Others said they were excited at the idea of him returning at all and would live with CG as long as it still reads like the original design and lets him pull off wild Spidey feats. Basically: the love is strong, but the patience for a fake suit is thin.

What Tobey has actually said about coming back

When Maguire popped up in Spider-Man: No Way Home, the collective squeal could be heard from space. Since then, he has made it pretty clear he is game to do more if Marvel calls. In the official No Way Home making-of book (via IGN), he put it like this:

'I love these films and I love all of the different series. If the guys called me and said, "would you show up tonight to hang out and goof around?" or "would you show up to do this movie or read a scene or do a Spider-Man thing?", it would be a "yes!" Because why wouldn’t I want to do that?'

What about Andrew Garfield?

Andrew was asked straight-up in a GQ interview if he is in Doomsday, and he did not dance around it:

'No. Unequivocally f*cking no.'

That said, after the No Way Home secrecy games, no one believes him 100 percent. And he has been open about returning to Peter Parker under the right circumstances. Talking to Esquire in 2024, he said he would come back if it felt fresh and worthwhile. He also told ET Bil Arabi at Middle East Film & Comic Con in Abu Dhabi that he would love to do 'something very strange' — ideally with the kind of creative swing you see in the animated Spider-Verse movies.

Where things stand

• Rumor: DanielRPK says Tobey Maguire is the Spider-Man showing up in Avengers: Doomsday, with a full CGI suit rather than a practical one. The claim circulated November 19, 2025 via ScreenTime.
• Context: Marvel has used digital suits often, including on Tom Holland in Far From Home, so the technique itself is not unusual.
• Fan temperature: Many want Tobey in a real, old-school suit; some are fine with CG if it nails the classic look and lets him go big on action.
• Tobey’s stance: He has publicly said he would say yes in a heartbeat if Marvel asked.
• Andrew Garfield: Denies he is in Doomsday, but remains open to returning if the idea is new, odd, and exciting — and he specifically wants something a little weird.
• Release date: Avengers: Doomsday is currently set for December 18, 2026.

Bottom line

If Richtman’s scoop pans out, Tobey might be back — just not in the kind of suit you can hang in a closet. Whether that is a dealbreaker or just a Twitter storm depends on how close Marvel gets to that iconic Raimi-era look once the pixels settle.
