Spider-Man 4 leak: 'Marvel and Sony clash over Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield return'
Spider-Man 4, starring Tom Holland, could see the return of No Way Home's Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield. But Marvel and Sony are clashing behind the scenes according to a new report.
Back in 2021, Spider-Man No Way Home stormed the box office taking almost $2 billion worldwide and becoming the sixth biggest movie in history.
The Marvel blockbuster’s success was largely down to rumours paying off of former Peter Parker stars Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield crossing the film franchise multiverse to team up with Tom Holland’s MCU incarnation.
As Sony’s highest-grossing film ever, it’s hardly surprising that the latest rumour is that the studio is considering bringing back their legacy Spideys for the MCU’s Spider-Man 4.
This comes from respected scooper Daniel RPK, who added that Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige wants a more grounded movie compared to Sony wanting it to be as big as No Way Home.
Fans have been reacting to this rumour on social media and feel the studio should focus on solo projects instead.
