Do movies have room for more than one live-action Spider-Man
Is there room on the big screen for more than one live action Spider-Man? Andrew Garfield, the Peter Parker of the Amazing Spider-Man film franchise, the character's second movie incarnation, has offered up some recent comments that have fans hopeful he might come back as Spider-Man again. And at the same time, Thomas Hayden Church, who played Sandman in the original Spider-Man movie franchise, has speculated on the possibility of revisiting the version of Peter Parker played by Tobey Maguire, saying he's heard rumors that Maguire and director Sam Raimi could make a new Spidey movie together.
These have formed small rays of hopeful light for fans who long for the return of their favorite past version of Spider-Man, and for those who see potential for more than one live-action Spidey incarnation co-existing alongside current Peter Parker actor Tom Holland, especially after all three live-action Peters teamed up in the ultra-popular film Spider-Man: No Way Home.
The success of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is proof positive that fans love the idea of a whole multiverse of Spider-heroes. But could that same enthusiasm fully make the jump to the live-action Spider-Man franchise? And if so, is there room for as many as three Spider-Men, not counting the eventual potential of a live-action version of Miles Morales?
The answer may indeed be, why not? What's stopping Sony and Marvel from expanding their shared character far beyond the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Maybe four whole Spider-Men would be a lot, but there are certainly upsides to the idea of more than one version of Peter Parker swinging across movie screens - and audiences are becoming more and more comfortable with such an idea every day.
