Tobey Maguire was the first actor to bring Peter Parker to life in a live-action setting with Sam Raimi's
Spider-Man back in 2002, but he hasn't actually played the wall-crawler since way back in 2007.
The actor is focusing on producing these days and hasn't acted since 2014, but would he be open to returning to the superhero genre?
"I just don't really have an 'I would or wouldn't do' mindset," he says.
"I'll just do whatever. Whatever it is that comes that I feel called to, that may or may not fit in any kind of box." In other words, if the right role comes along, he'll consider it!
The directors of
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse reportedly considered asking Maguire to reprise the role of Peter Parker in the movie but things didn't pan out that way for whatever reason.
As for what the actor thinks about Andrew Garfield and Tom Holland's versions of Spider-Man, he adds:
"I haven't seen all of them. What I've seen, I've appreciated. I like both of the actors a ton. I think they're both super talented. I would just say I appreciated them and I like the actors, I like the choices."
