Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield End Spider-Man Stories in 2027 Avengers Film

Recent rumors suggest that Tom Holland's Spider-Man will not have a major role in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday film, which is set to release in December 2026 and features a large ensemble cast including Thor, Reed Richards, and several X-Men characters. Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield are expected to conclude their Spider-Man storylines in Avengers: Secret Wars, the final film of the Multiverse Saga releasing in May 2027, which will also see the return of Tom Holland and other legacy Marvel characters like Hugh Jackman's Wolverine and Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool. Insider reports indicate that Secret Wars may feature high-stakes multiversal threats possibly involving Doctor Doom, with emotionally impactful roles for Maguire and Garfield, drawing parallels to the scale of Avengers: Endgame. Additionally, speculation surrounds Venom's role in the MCU, with a symbiote fragment left in the main universe potentially causing multiversal friction and expected to interact mainly with Spider-Man and Scorpion in future stories. Meanwhile, the MCU appears poised to retire several iconic heroes, including the possible end of Chris Hemsworth's Thor after Secret Wars, signaling a shift toward new chapters beyond nostalgia-driven cameos. This phase marks a significant transition in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's storytelling approach, blending legacy conclusions with fresh narratives.
