Marvel just gave fans exactly what they’ve been hoping for — a glimpse of Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man back in official MCU marketing, five years after his emotional cameo in Spider-Man: No Way Home.
At San Diego Comic-Con 2026, Marvel Studios’ Hall H sizzle reel quietly slipped in archival footage of Maguire’s web-slinger, and the internet immediately connected the dots to his rumored role in Avengers: Doomsday.
What Happened at SDCC 2026
The reel leaned on Nick Fury’s classic line about assembling “a group of remarkable people,” blending clips of the original Avengers, the Fox-era X-Men, the Fantastic Four, and both Tom Holland’s and Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man. It’s the first time Maguire’s Peter Parker has featured in official MCU promotional material since 2021.

Why It Matters for Doomsday
While Maguire isn’t on the official Doomsday cast list, insiders have claimed his Spider-Man could get meaningful screen time, with his universe potentially caught in the film’s incursion storyline. That would give his return real emotional stakes rather than a quick cameo.
Reports also suggest his story might not end there — a possible send-off in Avengers: Secret Wars would let him share the screen with legacy heroes like Wolverine and Deadpool before the Multiverse Saga wraps.
