Exploring the core elements of Inside the Deepfake Fan Theory Claiming Tobey Maguire Returns in 'Spider-Man: No Way Home'—read on to discover the essential highlights.

If the theory about the deepfake in the Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer is accurate, what does that mean for Andrew Garfield reprising his character in the movie? Andrew played Peter Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man in 2012 and in its sequel in 2014. There are rumors about not only Tobey, but also Andrew, appearing in the movie as the Multiverse opens up.

In May 2021, Andrew spoke with Entertainment Tonight and denied all involvement in the film. He did admit it's "a really cool idea" to bring other versions of Spider-Man into No Way Home. But he denied that he's in it.

Some allegedly leaked set photos surfaced online, in which Tobey and Andrew are in their Spidey suits. But those haven't been confirmed.

The moral of the story? There's still a ton about Spider-Man: No Way Home up for interpretation and fans are here for it.
