And clearly Maguire who is married with two children, Ruby, three, and Otis, eight months, to jewellery designer Jennifer Meyer, may have thought playing a high school student at his age was no longer plausible.
It's over: Tobey Maguire has bowed out of the fourth instalment in the Spider-Man franchise after the script called for Peter Parker to return to high school. Director Raimi was apparently unwilling to accept both the script, and financial conditions imposed by Sony executives. The script had been subject to a number of rewrites in the past year to come up with a screenplay he found acceptable, with a fourth effort in the works.
A plan to hire Anne Hathaway to play one of the female leads fell through during financial negotiations. Raimi said in a statement released by Sony: 'While we were looking forward to doing a fourth one together, the studio and Marvel have a unique opportunity to take the franchise in a new direction, and I know they will do a terrific job. While Maguire said: 'I am so proud of what we accomplished with the Spider-Man franchise over the last decade.
I am excited to see the next chapter unfold in this incredible story. Raimi said his work on the previous Spider-Man films was the experience of a lifetime, but acknowledged the studio was heading in a 'new direction'.
Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios said they will delay a fourth film by one year and return in with a new story, new director and new cast. The "new chapter" will tell of a high-school-age Peter Parker, the alter ego for comic book crime fighter Spider-Man who had been played by Tobey Maguire,. In the first movies, Parker had already graduated from high school, so the fourth film will essentially be a reworking of the franchise.

He was reportedly a difficult actor to work with on set, as confirmed by his former co-star James Franco. I mean, we're good now. It was a difficult movie," he said in an interview with actress Charlize Theron. To add to that, the last instalment of the Spiderman series, of which Maguire starred, was considered the worst in franchise history.
