Seriously, people. Tobey Maguire could play uncle Ben in a few years. He's turning 40 in a few days and looks his age.

Even Andrew Garfield is too old to play Spider-man. Casting someone as young as Tom was a good idea. We'll see if he makes a good spider-man, but asking for Tobey back makes zero sense.

Thank you. There are a surprising number of Tobey fans on this site who blindly shunning change despite (and I will not be popular for saying any of this but I sincerely mean all of it) A) spider-man 3 is the worst spider-man move. B) Tobey Maguires Spider-man was written like he was a moron who repeatedly made terribly stupid decisions. C) Tobey never got the spider-man smart ass sass right. D) like you said he's too old.

Honestly I think Tobey is overrated in the part and most of it is nostalgia for when the series was new. Tobey only ever got the part where Peter Parker is whiny a bitch right and that is the characters least appealing trait.



Check the link below. (note to Admins: it's not really porn please don't ban me!)

 

I love him already!
Tobey was great, but he's too old and Garfield looked like a prick.

Nobody can top Tobey as Peter Parker, so I already doubt that I'll like the movie.


Same here. They seem to be going with snarky cooly kid again. If thats the case they might've just stayed with Garfield or whatever he is called. I dont know whats so special with the ultimate like versions of spiderman. Ever since i remember spider-man he was a responsible young adult and even teen (he isnt the cool type, he is the nerdy type). I dont know why they insist on this terrible portrail of the character.

 

Spider-Man has been around for over 50 years now and has gone through many changes and characterizations.  I grew up with 80s-00s Spider-Man so I never viewed him as 60s version many older fans do.  To me, the Raimi Spider-Man films were equivalent to Burton/Schumacher Batman films.  People who viewed it as updating old characters rather than noting the changes they went through in modern times.  I never cared for any of those films personally.  I enjoyed Nolan's Batman update, but found ASM films to be a mixed bag of far superior casting (yes, I'll take Garfield/Stone over Maguire/Dunst any day), but some problems of poor writing persisting (the bridge scene SM1 / the crane scene ASM1 are both cringe worthy).

I am definitely minority who is happy to see my favorite Super hero get another shot, hopefully in Marvel's hands I'll finally get my Spider-Man film been waiting for decades to see.
