With the critical and commercial success Spider-Man: Homecoming has had over its first week in theatres, it’s probably safe to say that actor Tom Holland is one of Hollywood’s rising stars.

Holland is the third actor to play Peter Parker and live action and when it comes to a vacant role for one of the key pieces of Spidey’s origins, the London native has an idea of who should fill it.
“I kinda want Tobey Maguire to play Uncle Ben,” Holland told BBC Radio 1. “I think that’d be super funny, but I don’t think he’ll do it.”
As you probably know, Maguire was the first actor to bring Spider-Man to the silver screen as he played the character in Sam Raimi’s trilogy in the early 2000s.
Of course, it’s a long shot that this would ever happen, but it still is a move that would make many fans happy. Holland and Maguire, however, met for the first time at a screening of Edgar Wright’s latest flick: Baby Driver.
“I met Tobey recently in LA at the screening for Baby Driver and he sat right in front of me and didn’t see me,” Holland mentioned. “I was like [whispers] ‘Tobey! Tobey!’”
