10 Actors You Didn't Know Have Retired

To a certain generation of film fans, Tobey Maguire is Spider-Man. Sure, Andrew Garfield has his supporters, and Tom Holland is wowing as ol' Web-head in right now, but Maguire made for a phenomenal Spidey in Sam Raimi's trilogy.

There's far more to Tobey's bow that just the Wall-Crawler, mind, for he also impressed in Pleasantville, The Cider House Rules, Seabiscuit, and The Good German. The reason why Maguire hasn't been seen in anything of note in recent years, though, is that he has effectively retired from acting.

Instead, the former Peter Parker is these days more interested in producing movies, with 12 producer credits under his belt and a 13th picture on the way. In fact, the last time that Tobey Maguire was in front of a camera was back in 2014's Bobby Fischer biopic, Pawn Sacrifice, where he played the headline act and also served as producer.

Since then, the only acting credit to Maguire's name is him narrating The Boss Baby. Tobey was asked whether he had retired from the profession in a 2019 interview with THR where he was evasive, saying "I'll do what I feel called to do."

Of course, there's major rumours out there right now to say that Tobey Maguire will once more be suiting up as Spider-Man alongside the Garfield and Holland versions of the character in this December's Spider-Man: No Way Home - but until that happens, it looks like acting is something very much in Maguire's rear-view mirror.
