Tobey Maguire is once again at the center of MCU chatter as new rumors claim he will return as Spider-Man in Avengers: Doomsday.
The talk picked up fast after the latest batch of alleged leaks appeared online, including a shot that looks like Maguire back in the suit with fresh battle damage.
Alleged Leaks Fuel The Conversation
The new image making the rounds shows a bloodied Maguire wearing a version of his classic Spider-Man suit against a blue-screen backdrop.
It matches the style and lighting of the other alleged Avengers: Doomsday material circulating this week. Nothing is confirmed, but the timing of the photo surfacing alongside the other leaks has pushed fans into full speculation mode.
Marvel hasn’t addressed any of the images, but it hasn’t stopped social media from treating them as possible early looks at the multiversal teams expected to play a major role in the film.
Maguire’s Last Return Set The Stage
Maguire already re-entered the franchise in Spider-Man: No Way Home, where he appeared alongside Tom Holland and Andrew Garfield. His comeback was one of the biggest moments of the movie and turned the idea of “Legacy Spider-Man” into a major crowd-pleaser for Marvel.
With the MCU leaning harder into its multiverse stories, his return in a massive crossover like Avengers: Doomsday wouldn’t be surprising to fans who have followed the studio’s recent direction.
Spider-Man 4 Talk Keeps Growing
There has also been ongoing chatter about a potential Spider-Man 4, with reports claiming The Batman co-writer Mattson Tomlin has pitched a story centered on Maguire. Nothing has moved publicly, but the pitch and these new leaks have both kept interest high for another installment in Maguire’s universe.
With Avengers: Doomsday shaping up to bring in multiple worlds and multiple versions of key heroes, Maguire being part of the lineup is quickly becoming one of the most persistent rumors. If the leaked image is authentic, it would be the strongest hint yet that Marvel plans to use him again.
