Doctor Strange 2 Fan Poster Brings Back Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man

A new Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness fan poster brings back Tobey Maguire’s Peter Parker/Spider-Man. Marvel’s friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is one of comics and, in turn, cinema’s most popular characters. In 2002, director Sam Raimi launched his Spider-Man trilogy starring Maguire, which helped to revolutionize superhero cinema. Following abandoned plans for a Spider-Man 4, the franchise was rebooted with Andrew Garfield in the titular role. Now, Tom Holland is the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s web-slinger.

 

The MCU’s Phase 4 has been delving into its ever-evolving multiverse theory with projects like WandaVision, Loki, What If…?, and last year’s box office juggernaut, Spider-Man: No Way Home. The latter film sees Holland’s Peter Parker and Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) crack open said multiverse and bring a handful of past Spider-Man characters into the cinematic universe, including Maguire and Garfield’s Spider-Men. Following the events of No Way Home, Cumberbatch reprises his role in the upcoming Multiverse of Madness, which marks Raimi’s first Marvel film since Spider-Man 3. Previous trailers for Doctor Strange 2 have confirmed that it will see the return of Patrick Stewart's Professor X, bringing the X-Men franchise into the MCU. Its multiversal plot has also resulted in heavy speculation as to which other Marvel faces may appear, including another cameo from Maguire's Spider-Man.

 

Now, one fan has brought those theories to life. Artist Agt Design recently shared their own Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness poster on Instagram. The piece features Strange, Defender Strange, Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez), Baron Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor), Professor Charles Xavier, and, of course, Maguire’s Spider-Man.

With a script written by Loki creator Michael Waldron, Raimi’s Multiverse of Madness piggybacks off the events of WandaVision, Loki, What If…?, and No Way Home. Its cast is so far confirmed to include Cumberbatch, Rachel McAdams, Benedict Wong, and Ejiofor, who all reprise their roles from 2016’s Doctor Strange. Joining them is Olsen as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch, and Gomez in her debut as heroine America Chavez. The latest Doctor Strange 2 trailer was released before the Super Bowl earlier this month, unveiling a slew of alternate timelines, universes, and Doctor Strange variants. Its plot details are still scant, but Rami's return as Maguire's former Spider-Man director has fuelled rumors of his seemingly natural cameo post-No Way Home.

 

Ulimately, factoring in Spider-Man: No Way Home’s utilization of Sony’s characters and Disney/Marvel Studios’ acquisition of both Fox’s Fantastic Four and X-Men, Multiverse of Madness could connect to any number of Marvel projects. So far, the biggest revelation has been the inclusion of Strange variants, zombies, and Professor X, who appears to be a member of Marvel Comics’ Illuminati. Given Maguire’s now-confirmed multiversal status, it's certainly possible that the actor's web-slinger will feature in the Multiverse of Madness when it releases. However, given how jam-packed Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness already appears to be, Maguire, if he does feature, will likely only appear for a moment.
