Just because Tobey Maguire is hanging up his Spidey suit doesn’t mean Sony Pictures is through with the franchise. Following in the current Hollywood trend, Sony is preparing a Spider-Man reboot for 2012.
Apparently two versions of Spider-Man were in the works simultaneously. The call to focus on the reboot came when director Sam Raimi failed to come to terms with a script for Spider-Man IV’s summer 2011 release date.
Sony’s contingency plan for the franchise puts Peter Parker back in high school, allowing for more films than Maguire, age 35, could offer. In this new version, Parker will get his abilities while tackling puberty.
Fans have been waiting three years for Spider-Man IV, but does this really count? Will Peter Parker be better this time around, or are you going to miss Maguire? What are your thoughts?
i wish that toby maguire was play spider man one more time. he is a great one.
