AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY Rumor Claims Tom Holland Won’t Be the Spider-Man We See in the Film
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is gearing up for a massive run with Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, and fans are in full speculation mode.
New theories hit the internet every day, and one of the latest claims is a wild one. According to a circulating rumor, Tom Holland might not be the Peter Parker who shows up in Avengers: Doomsday. Instead, the claim suggests we could see Tobey Maguire return once again as Spider-Man. Here’s how this unexpected idea has caught fire among Marvel fans.
From what’s publicly known, details on Avengers: Doomsday are scarce, which has naturally opened the door for nonstop theories. Marvel revealed a big chunk of the cast during its announcement, yet fans are convinced more surprises are coming.
Scooper Daniel Richtman shared a report saying Maguire was set to suit up again after the excitement he generated in Spider-Man: No Way Home. His claim: “Maguire will once again return as Spider-Man following his thrilling role in No Way Home.” That obviously sent the internet into a frenzy.
Longtime MCU viewers have watched Holland grow into a fan favorite across the films, and with his fourth movie Spider-Man: Brand New Day releasing before Doomsday, most assumed he would naturally be the Spider-Man involved. Hearing that Maguire might swing into the next Avengers event definitely shakes things up.
As with many MCU rumors, it’s smart to stay cautious. Reports about the direction of the next two Avengers films from the Russo Bros. have been interesting to read, but Marvel secrecy is on another level, and the multiverse only increases the possibilities. No matter how exciting the claim is, there’s still no confirmation that Maguire is the Peter Parker in Doomsday.
Part of why fans believe Maguire could be returning comes from an unrelated real life moment. A fan spotted him in London back in September and shared the encounter online.
The comments exploded with theories linking his presence in the city to the production of Doomsday. Other actors have gone through similar fan-driven detective work during the filming of major Marvel projects.
It was exciting seeing all three Peter Parkers together in Spider-Man: No Way Home . Watching Maguire, Holland and Andrew Garfield team up for that spectacular final showdown became one of the MCU’s biggest moments.
Since Maguire and Garfield are now woven into the larger cinematic universe, fans have been hoping to see them continue appearing in multiverse stories. Whether Maguire joins Avengers: Doomsday or the rumor fizzles out is something we’ll have to wait for.
Meanwhile, with Spider-Man: Brand New Day being the next MCU movie to release, the character has been getting plenty of attention. Fans are eager to learn what comes next for Holland’s Peter after the emotional ending of No Way Home, where the world, including MJ and Ned, no longer remembers him.
If the rumor is true, Doomsday could deliver another surprise reunion on a massive scale. If not, speculation is still half the fun for Marvel fans. Either way, Spider-Man continues to be one of the most talked about heroes in the MCU, and that certainly isn’t changing anytime soon.
