No More Webs for Maguire?
Spider-Man 3 may be actor's last.
by IGN Staff
March 6, 2007 - While talking up his film The Good German to Australia's The Courier-Mail this week, Tobey Maguire touched upon that other film he's got going on at the moment, Spider-Man 3. And in the course of that discussion, the actor alluded to the fact that he may be ready to hang up Spidey's red and blue tights once and for all.
"To me it seems like this is a natural point for the team to break up because we have a lot of story conclusions that were going along for the main characters for the first two movies and we kind of tie almost everything up for the third movie," he says. "It feels like a trilogy to me and it feels like the end."
Of course, this isn't the first time Maguire has hinted at leaving the series. In fact, word on the street had him very close to departing right before Spider-Man 2 was made -- with Jake Gyllenhaal said to be his probable replacement -- before he made nice-nice with Sony Pictures. And the studio seems pretty set on making a fourth Spidey film: The first movie's scripter David Koepp is said to be in talks to write part four for Sony.
So Maguire or no Maguire, it seems likely that the studio would push ahead with a fourth Spider-Man no matter what -- there's still just too much money to be made from this franchise.
Please do NOT get jake Gyllenhaal for SM4.
