It's a day for celebration and remembrance for fans of Spider-Man and the live action movies of the past, as the first actor to play the role in a big budget Hollywood superhero movie way before the Marvel Cinematic Universe was a thing celebrates his birthday today!
Tobias Vincent Maguire, better known as Tobey Maguire - celebrates his 45th birthday this June 27th! How time flies and it's been almost two decades since he put on the mask and webs and played our very first version of "Spider-Man" in the big screen! He would continue to play that role for two more sequels - which would be collectively known as the "Spider-Man Trilogy" and all were directed by Sam Raimi of "Evil Dead" fame,
While Tobey hasn't been seen in the big screen on a major role for quite some time, he's been keeping busy behind the scenes by being a film producer for many films. Hopefully for us Spidey fans who loved Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse, he might make the dream come true and make a comeback in the sequel to the animated movie - reprising the role he made famous!
