Tobey Maguire Done with Spider-Man?


Tobey Maguire Done with Spider-Man?

Posted by flixmasterflex 1112 days ago
Tobey Maguire, whose primary claim to fame has been his breakout role as Peter Parker in the Spider-Man series, has hinted that he's lost interest in continuing the part.

Starpulse, an online entertainment and celebrity news journal, published this quote from an interview with Maguire: "This might be a good place to stop - I am not tied contractually to any more Spider-Man movies. I am not completely closed to the idea of another one if it made sense but I would say the odds were in favor of this being the last one."

Little surprise should come from the remark. The stars of the blockbuster franchise have only been signed to a three-picture deal for the series, which comes to an end with the upcoming Spider-Man 3.

Co-star Kirsten Dunst has also made mention of her past interest in leaving the series, at one point remarking in an interview that she imagined her character would die at the end of the third film.

    Well if Tobey Maguire stops doing the movies, a good candidate could be Jake Gyllenhaal, he is younger and could run with it for few films more, maybe 4. Or how about Zooey Deschanel as Spider-Woman?

    I love Spiderman and these films so much and Dunst and Maguire as MJ and Peter but I agree, 3 is a lovely number to finish up on. Very few actors are going to want to be tied down to endless films unless you're Stallone doing Rocky (which I've yet to see).

  • Well Sub Zero would be a good second to Tobey, and Flixmaster, you sound like a complete loser. A genius in your own mind perhaps, but the typing used by most of the users on this site and the rest of the web is a reflection of a new age. The only thing this would suggest is that you're a 40 year old virgin XD (<- Appreciate the humor?) living in your parents basement with a half completed bachelor degree in english literature. Remember what your mommy said, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

  • No one said you couldn't speak, no matter how incorrect you are. But likewise, there should be no reason that I can't come forward and point out your mistaken assumptions. It goes both ways, kid.

  • Well whatever, I have the right to say things however I want to. And I dont care if some stranger like you takes it the wrong way. I just happen to be a huge fan of comic books. And wouldnt want to see a character as important as hers go. But Im pretty much done talking to you now.

  • I wasn't being a jerk. I was correcting the exaggerated and incorrect assumptions you made from the article. Don't get yourself bent out of shape.

    And I defy you to prove that I'm not a genius. (I mean, using evidence other than the fact that I frequent this site, which is populated by the densest concentration of illiterate nitwits this side of MySpace.)

  • I think he shouldn't retire it would end the series to spiderman forever. And he's the best actor for this role!!

  • He cant retire. The series is just geting started. I want to see a series with HULK. That would be the best series yet!!!!!!!

  • Oh stop. She only said she HOPED her character might die. That in no way influences what will happen in the film. And if you ever read the statement she made about it, the scenario she dreamed up was insipid. Which is why the idiot actors don't write the scripts.

  • Oh my gosh NOOOOOOOOOOO. I mean I understand if they stop making them, but MARY JANE CANT DIE. Im going to cry.
