Title:
Unraveling the Multiverse: The Truth Behind the Spider-Man: No Way Home Rumors
The Start of the Speculation
No one knows disappointment like comic book movie fans. Before the release of every major movie, there’s a rough period where every outrageous rumor runs rampant and fans build up a story of what the film will be — rather than what it is — among themselves. The same happened with “Spider-Man: No Way Home.” But internet veterans cast a wary eye on the mounting speculation, knowing full well how the build-up almost inevitably leads to disappointment in the end.
The Unexpected Turn
Then, something unexpected occurred. News broke that actors from the other “Spider-Man” movies, such as Alfred Molina and Jamie Foxx, would return as their respective characters for “No Way Home.” It didn’t take a rocket scientist to make the link that both Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire could show up, too, in what was clearly shaping up to be a multiversal adventure of sorts. Naturally, the rumor grew eight hairy legs, suggesting that the three live-action Spider-Men would team up to battle their most sinister foes on the big screen.
Denials and Deceptions
Tom Holland, the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s (MCU) worst secret-keeper, denied that Garfield and Maguire had joined the cast — and he would know since he was the film’s lead. When posed the question by several outlets, Garfield echoed Holland’s statement too. But would actors lie to their fans? The answer is a resounding “yes.” Ultimately, both Garfield and Maguire reprised their roles and suited up for the movie.
