Tobey Maguire Has Reportedly Finally Signed On For Spider-Man 3

It’s no secret that Kevin Feige lays out the broad strokes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe years in advance, and recently admitted that he’s got things planned out until at least 2026. By that logic, the company’s Chief Creative Officer would have known for a long time that for Spider-Man 3 to work, he’d need to engage the services of Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield.

Feige has never been drawn into the speculation surrounding just who audiences can expect to show up in December’s threequel, and if anything, he’s probably had a chuckle to himself at least once as close to two dozen names have found themselves getting roped into the rumor mill.

We’ve been waiting on confirmation for months now that the two previous live-action Spideys had officially boarded the cast, but it’s starting to look like the news will break as either a stinger at the end of the first trailer, or Marvel will do their best to keep it under wraps until the movie hits theaters.

However, despite shooting kicking off four months ago, insider Daniel Richtman has repeatedly insisted that Tobey Maguire was proving to be a tricky customer during negotiations, claiming that Sam Raimi’s Peter Parker was holding out for more and more money to reprise his career-defining role, before going on to describe his purported behavior as diva-like.

Richtman is now saying that the 45 year-old has officially signed on the dotted line, though, which would put one of Spider-Man 3‘s countless lines of inquiry to bed after months of speculation. Of course, fans would be very unhappy if neither Maguire or Garfield showed up, and with the studio keenly aware of that fact, they might have had to shell out a pretty penny to make it happen.

Paramount Reportedly Wants Mark Wahlberg Back In Transformers Franchise

Mark Wahlberg has shown on countless occasions that he can be a great actor when handed the right material, with an Academy Award nomination under his belt for The Departed as well as a Golden Globe nod for The Fighter, while he’s also hugely underrated as a comic talent.

However, it can’t be argued that the majority of his most forgettable movies tend to be the action thrillers that have become his bread and butter over the last two decades. Wahlberg always felt like a strange choice to play the human lead in Michael Bay’s fourth and fifth Transformers movies, and there was very little about his performances in either Age of Extinction or The Last Knight to dispel any doubts surrounding his suitability for the role.

Of course, the flesh and blood characters were very much a secondary concern during Bay’s tenure, something that will hopefully be remedied by one or both of the upcoming Transformers projects in development. Creed II director Steven Caple Jr.’s reboot is set for release next summer, and to the best of our knowledge, the Beast Wars adaptation being scripted by James Vanderbilt is still bubbling away on the back burner as well.

Insider Daniel Richtman is now claiming, though, that Paramount want Wahlberg back as Cade Yeager in one of the next Transformers blockbusters, but the tipster doesn’t divulge anything else. Richtman said the exact same thing about Megan Fox just a few days ago, too, not to mention a raft of further speculation about the hypothetical future of the franchise, so it’s probably best to wait and see what the studio has in store. That being said, you’d imagine that any connections to the Michael Bay era wouldn’t exactly be a top priority given the overwhelmingly negative critical reactions and desire from audiences for a completely fresh start.
