Tobey Maguire explains what made him decide to return as Spider-Man in Spider-Man: No Way Home. The Marvel Studios and Sony collaboration has been out for more than a month, and it remains a favorite topic of conversation. Those who were involved in the project have shared their opinions about working on it, such as Tom Holland, Andrew Garfield, Willem Dafoe, as well as, director Jon Watts.

That's until 2015, when Sony struck a deal with Sony about sharing the character who will exist in the MCU that was ultimately played by Holland.
