Tom Holland Reportedly Pushing Tobey Maguire to Play Marvel’s Uncle Ben


It looks like Marvel may be planning to have Uncle Ben make an appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

According to a report by We Got This Covered, Sources close to Marvel say that the studio is planning to have Uncle Ben appear in a flashback or two at some point in the MCU, and it looks like Spider-Man star Tom Holland is pushing the studio to cast Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker's dearly beloved Uncle.

While this seems to counter previous rumors saying that Sony and Marvel want Maguire to appear as Spider-Man in the MCU's version of the Spider-Verse, the actor still has the option of appearing as Uncle Ben if he wants to.

It's an interesting rumor, that's for sure. Not only does it sound like Holland is eager to have Maguire appear alongside him in a film, but having the previous Spider-Man appear in one of Marvel's upcoming Spider-Man movies seems like something straight out of a fanboy's dream.

Of course, as with any rumor, we advise fans to take this report with a major grain of salt. You can't trust any sort of leak unless Marvel makes a confirmation.

Besides, we're not entirely sure whether or not Maguire would be open to returning as Uncle Ben. Wouldn't the actor rather much appear as Spider-Man in a Spider-Verse movie?

We'll just have to wait and see whether these rumors have any veracity to them at all.

But what do you think? Would you like to see Maguire appear as Uncle Ben in the MCU? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comment section below.
