10 Comic Book Movie Characters Who Face Uncertain On-Screen Futures

10. The Spider-Men

Although Tom Holland’s Spider-Man was a surprising omission from Kevin Feige’s Phase 5 announcement and cinematic landscape, he will almost certainly be back to don the Spidey suit. However, the same can’t be said for definite regarding his predecessors.

Regardless of the fact it was the worst kept secret in town, Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire’s coinciding homecomings to the silver screen to fight alongside our current web-slinger made for an unforgettable moment and spectacle.

The three live-action Spider-Men bounced off one another perfectly in No Way Home as they bonded and united over their imperfections and traumatic pasts leaving fans wanting to see more of the same down the line. Garfield and Maguire made the seemingly impossible very much possible by reprising their roles, and the decision to do so has highlighted the fact that truly anything is possible within the MCU’s current implementation of multiversal madness and mayhem.

Though they were back and better than ever, maybe don’t get your hopes up for Garfield and Maguire-focused films set within their respective universes. That’s not to say never say never, but with the excitement generated and money grossed from their MCU debuts, Feige would be foolish not to roll the dice on them returning for Secret Wars.

It may come down to whether the now dynamic duo would be willing to come back again, but considering their past achievement, round two may very well be on the cards for them both.
