After news of Benedict Cumberbatch and Jamie Foxx joining the cast of the yet to be titled Spider-Man 3 film, a source close to Sony recently confirmed that both Maguire and Garfield have been reportedly roped in to reprise their respective Peter Parker/Spider-Man roles next to Tom Holland.
According to the source, Maguire and Garfield are in talks to appear in a yet-to-be title Sony and Marvel film that would see all three actors facing off against their past and new villains.

While it’s still unclear that both stars are for sure in negotiations, reports are noting that a finalized version of the script is almost complete.
Marvel has kept the upcoming Spider-Man movie’s plot under tight wraps.
Tom Holland was last seen as Spider-Man in his solo film, ‘Spider-Man: Far From Home.’ Set after the events of ‘Avengers: Endgame’, the film showcased how the world was dealing with the Iron Man’s death.
