Recently, articles claiming Sony Pictures ‘debunked’ the signing of Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield have been circulating. Popular outlets likeScreen Ranthas been at the forefront of this misleading “journalism”.
In its article, Screen Rant explicitly used the word ‘debunked’ in its title. However, Sony Pictureshas not debunkedthe signing of Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield forSpider-Man 3. Following Screen Rant’s suit, other major outlets likeGamesRadar,CBR, andHypeBeasthave fallen victim to this.
After FandomWire’s release of the exclusive news of Maguire and Garfield returning as Spider-Men alongside Tom Holland spread like wildfire, most of the major media outlets were quick to cover the news. However, therecent statementfrom Sony Pictureshas been widely misunderstood and portrayed quite differently.
What Sony REALLY Said
“Those rumored castings are not confirmed.” is theofficial statementfrom a representative for Sony Pictures, as per the news fromET Canada.

Before jumping the gun that Sony Pictures has debunked the appearance of multiple Spider-Men, not confirmed does not mean downright denial.In fact, ALL reports not confirmed by the studios themselves are, well, not confirmed.Previously, the appearance of Spider-Man inCaptain America: Civil Waralso followed a similar suit, as it was never confirmed by either Marvel Studios or Sony Pictures right till the end.
AsSpider-Man 3is one of the highly-anticipated movies from the MCU, Sony Pictures’ representative’s diplomatic answer might be a part of aclever marketing tacticto keep the fans guessing. Also, expecting a mega studio like Sony Pictures to confirm a major plot reveal of multiple Spider-Men within days of the news breaking is highly unlikely.
