In 1997, Toby Maguire rose to fame with Ang Lee's film Ice Storm, and he quickly became a household name, highlighting his boyish charm in films such as Happy Valley, Always Sunny and Miracle Boy, and Maguire's most memorable role was Peter Parker in Spider-Man, an idealistic unsung hero who over the years has proven time and again the commercial value he brings to Hollywood and the studios
Over the past 10 years or so, Toby Maguire has managed to avoid Hollywood news, big and small, however, the star who has returned to singlehood has suddenly surfaced again
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > if jack Gyllenhaal starred</h1>
Maguire made $4 million for Spider-Man 1, which is a huge sum in itself compared to $500,000 for The Amazing Spider-Man starring Andrew Garfield, and two years later, he starred in Spider-Man 2 again for $17 million.
However, just as he was starring, he was replaced by Jack Gyllenhaal, and the reason for the substitution was reportedly due to Maguire's complaints about some of the requirements required for special effects, and after Maguire got the news that he would be replaced by Jack Gyllenhaal, his representative team, as well as the father of his girlfriend at the time, and the studio director Ron Meyer also came to the rescue and assured the director, producer and others that Maguire would perform well on set
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > he dumped his agent</h1>
Shortly after Maguire regained the role of Spider-Man, he fired agent Leslie Siebert, who had worked with him for seven years, which also led to speculation that Leslie Siebert was fired due to almost losing the role to Maguire, and Maguire downplayed his decision, saying, "It's just a business decision, she's not a scapegoat."
But not everyone thought it was a simple business decision, with Leslie Siebert being unfairly singled out, and one source familiar with the matter also said: "It wasn't she who should have been hit, and she herself was unhappy about the outcome of the matter."
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the qualities that Maguire loved to the audience didn't get better with age</h1>
In Toby Maguire's heyday, part of his charm came from a mysterious sense of youth, and his character embodied depth while maintaining a healthy atmosphere, but for Maguire, it became a double-edged sword, as the word boyish, juvenile suggests, you can only be young for so long, and once you are no longer young, over time, it will only be an adjective that becomes more and more unlikable
Maguire may not have fallen prey to Hollywood's well-known age problem, but it is true that his career has derailed, and contemporaries like Leonardo DiCaprio have successfully overcome the same problem by playing more gritty roles, And Maguire doesn't seem to have found his new casting position, and the 44-year-old actor is not old in any case
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > divorced his wife, he quickly moved away</h1>
Maguire broke up with his wife Jennifer Meyer in October 2016, ending a nearly ten-year marriage, and just the day after the couple announced their breakup, news broke that 41-year-old Maguire, the father of two, had appeared at the bar with DiCaprio again, and Jennifer Meyer also frequented maguire to this bar, in fact, there was already media claiming that Maguire and Justin Bieber's 21-year-old ex-girlfriend were close, but the latter said he was not interested in him
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > Sam Remy's attention to Maguire caused injustice to James Franco</h1>
Franco, who starred in Spider-Man, confessed to director Sam Remy: "I'm a little jealous of your relationship with Maguire and Maguire's first love, Kirsten Dunst, I think you gave Toby Maguire too much attention in Spider-Man that I didn't get your attention like him, and in the second film, you also gave Maguire all the attention you needed, refusing to give me the fatherly love I needed."
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > for Toby Maguire, Spider-Man ended his fanaticism</h1>
In 2014, "Spider-Man 3" director Sam Remy admitted in an interview that the negative reviews brought about by the box office fiasco of "Spider-Man 3" made the fan base that once loved the "Spider-Man" series of movies resent the producers and characters, Sam Remy said of the 2007 failure, "Even after more than a decade, they still hate me", after "Spider-Man 3", Maguire did not get rid of the same fate, the original planned fourth part was completely canceled, It also directly ended Maguire's fanaticism
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > Toby Maguire's career should not be blamed on alcoholism</h1>
It's inaccurate to attribute the end of Toby Maguire to Spider-Man 3, whose roles in the 2013 film Adaptation of The Marvelous Gatsby were wildly popular, including The Fall of Babylon's next year's miniseries, Derek Snowfield, both of which suggest that his career was not devastated, but rather by some bad publicity sparked by some behavior that overshadowed his credibility, and Maguire was outspoken about his drug abuse (especially alcoholism). He also said he managed to overcome the problem, but that was not the case and he soon became obsessed with poker, which also led to an out-of-court settlement lawsuit
By any measure, it's wrong to blame someone or get involved, but it's safe to say that Maguire's Hollywood career isn't over yet
