When Tobey Maguire got the call asking if he wanted to play alongside his fellow Spider-Man actors he jumped on the opportunity to put on the nostalgic suit after 14 years. He shared that although he immediately agreed to their proposition, the role was “not without nerves”.
“When they called initially, I was like finally! [Laughs] I got the call and was immediately open about coming to do this. Not without nerves – you know, ‘What will this look like and what will the experience be?’ But to get to show up with beautiful, talented, creative people and play together? It’s just like, ‘Yes!’ It’s fun and exciting.”
Maguire said that putting on the suit would definitely be challenging but it also felt good to be back in character. He further added that getting into the costume was not fun but slowly it grew on him and “You start to feel pretty at home pretty swiftly”. The Spider-Man actor expressed his love for the Spider-Man franchises, all three of them. He said that he was willing to do any Spider-Man-related work.
“I love these films and I love all of the different series. If these guys called me and said, ‘Would you show up tonight to hang out and goof around?’ or ‘Would you show up to do this movie or read a scene or do a Spider-Man thing?’, it would be a ‘yes!’ Because why wouldn’t I want to do that?”
