Fact about Tobey Maguire's Spider-man.
While Spider-Man fans have loved Tom Holland's Peter Parker in the MCU, Tobey Maguire is still the gold standard for the movie version of the hero.
1. The Geeky mentality.
Tobey Maguire’s Peter Parker wasn’t a comic book geek, but he did have that nerdy demeanor one would imagine. Even his decision to name himself “the Human Spider” was proof of this kind of mindset, which would look good on Tom Holland’s Peter Parker since he can pull off this energy well.
2.Remembering The Value Of Responsibility
Tobey Maguire’s version most certainly did, with the character remembering why he made sacrifices.
3.He had to bulk up to play Spider-Man
Spider-Man has never been a particularly bulky or heavyweight character, but it speaks volumes as to Maguire’s own body that he had to still put on nearly 20 pounds of muscle when cast to play the role. The result was that Maguire was in fantastic shape, and this can be seen a few times when he is without his shirt or his costume is torn in the trilogy.
4. Tobey admitted on a late night show that he’d never read a comic book and didn’t want to.
This might have crushed a lot of fans that were into Tobey and the comics, but justification is simple since some people just don’t get into comics and that’s perfectly okay. For the sake of the movie however it might have been wise to pick up at least one comic in order to get the character of Spider-Man down correctly. He did a pretty decent job really but to think of what he might have done had he read the material it’s easy to think that he could have done even more.
