Rumors about the involvement of Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine and Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man in Avengers: Secret Wars have been circulating on the internet for some time now. Recently, reports from inside scoopers suggested that both actors would play the leads in the Multiverse Saga finale. However, upon second thoughts, this news seems like a far-fetched idea.
Jackman and Maguire are undoubtedly fan-favorite heroes, but they’re not the MCU’s heroes and were added to the Marvel roster only to play with the audience’s nostalgia. It makes no sense for Marvel Studios to have them lead one of the most important films in their current lineup.
Hugh Jackman And Tobey Maguire As Leads Makes No Sense For The MCU
Hugh Jackman and Tobey Maguire’s appearance in Avengers: Secret Wars would definitely be a welcoming move, but making them the leads is a questionable idea. According to some sources, the Earth’s mightiest heroes will be defeated by the Council of Kangs in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty. Maguire’s Spider-Man and Jackman’s Wolverine will lead TVA’s two multiversal teams, helping Earth-616 in their war against Kangs in Avengers: Secret Wars.
While the idea excited many, it would be a disservice to the fans and current actors of the MCU to rely on the nostalgic heroes from the 2000s for the Multiverse Saga finale. For one, both actors are well into their 50s and bid farewell to these characters in their prime. Although Maguire returned for an extended cameo in Spider-Man: No Way Home and Jackman is set to reprise his role in Deadpool 3, these roles are intended as a fun throwback and nothing more.
The rumors also suggested that Tom Holland and Tom Hiddleston’s characters play key roles. However, that may also not be entirely true. It is highly unlikely that Marvel will place all their bets on Spider-Man to carry forward their multiversal storyline. Holland’s Spider-Man appearance in the MCU is based on a vulnerable deal with Sony, which was on the verge of falling apart multiple times.
Hiddleston also hinted multiple times that the epic Loki Season 2 concluded his fourteen years of the journey with the character. However, the TVA and Sylvie from the series may play key roles in Secret Wars. The reports also notably missed out on Doctor Strange’s role in the film.
Inside Scoopers Are Almost Sure About Wolverine And Spider-Man Involvement
The reports from MyTimeToShineHello and CanWeGetSomeToast suggested that Hugh Jackman and Tobey Maguire will be headlining Avengers: Secret Wars.

The scoopers also leaked information about Tom Holland’s symbiote suit from the film. The symbiote suit becomes crucial since Tom Hardy’s Venom made an appearance in the end credits scene of Spider-Man: No Way Home.
