There was a time when Tobey Maguire's days as Spider-Man seemed to be over. Even if there could've been more to his story afterSpider-Man 3, Andrew Garfield replaced him as the one and only friendly neighborhood hero. To make things more complicated, Tom Holland would later portray the iconic role in theMarvel Cinematic Universe, putting the final nail in the coffin of the previous franchises. But just when it seemed like Marvel had moved on from other variants of the character, the multiverse came by.

Fans were excited about the idea of Tobey wearing the mask again. Fortunately, those hopes paid off big time whenSpider-Man: No Way Homehit theaters. But now that the big cinematic experience has come and gone, it's time to look at what the future holds. Have we seen the last of the first Peter Parker on the big screen? Or are there big plans in store for him? Well, according to a new rumor, the answer is the latter, and we couldn't be more excited.

Tobey Maguire could return in Avengers: Secret Wars

According to Scooper Marvel Sourceon X (formerly Twitter), Tobey Maguire is confirmed to appear inAvengers: Secret Wars. It shouldn't come as a surprise that the adaptation of one of the biggest multiversal events in comic books could look to recruit many heroes from different realities. Tobey's return seems like a no-brainer, and fortunately, there are chances he won't be the only one returning to the role.

Recently,reportssurfaced indicating that Andrew Garfield will also be in Earth's Mightiest Heroes' next movie. Besides, chances are Tom Holland will likely star in the multiversal crossover as well. It would be a smart move from Marvel to capitalize on the success ofSpider-Man: No Way Homeby reuniting all three versions of the wall-crawler once again.

Granted, it's always important to take all rumors and scoops with a grain of salt until an official source confirms them. However, it's worth pointing out that a new, different report also supports the idea of Tobey making his big return.
