While “Spider-Man: No Way Home” is currently in theaters, we look back at Tobey Maguire’s astonishing tries for the role of the spider-man, almost 20 years ago. Essays that look straight out of a kung fu movie!
Spider-Man: No Way Home, a new Spider-Man adventure starring Tom Holland in the lead role, is still in theaters. The opportunity to return to an astonishing video of Tobey Maguire’s essays almost twenty years ago, just before he was the first interpreter of the superhero in Sam Raimi’s trilogy.
Why are these essays surprising? Because we don’t really have the impression of witnessing the scene of a Spider-Man! In the screen-test visible below, Tobey Maguire appears shirtless on the screen to help a woman assaulted by three individuals. The actor, in the half-light of a murky alley, then inflicts a memorable rousing on them.
The scene, endowed with a rather distressing atmosphere, could be taken from a kung fu movie that it would not detonate. Impossible, in fact, not to see a bit of Bruce Lee in this sequence where the blows seem to hurt a lot!
After this amazing scene, we then find, but without the sound, tests Tobey Maguire in costume and alongside Kirsten Dunst, who also appears alone on the screen. Also on the program, JK Simmons, who works his cult role of J. Jonah Jameson, the boss of the Daily Bugle.
