Will Spider-Man Be in Avengers: Doomsday & Which Versions Are Most Likely To Appear?

Marvel Studios surprisingly chose Spider-Man: Brand New Day as the last movie before Avengers: Doomsday. This has left fans wondering if Tom Holland will return as Peter Parker for the upcoming Doomsday event. The situation is critical, as heroes from the main Marvel Cinematic Universe (Earth-616) will clash with those from the X-Men universe (Earth-10005). The Fantastic Four (Earth-828) and other heroes will be caught in the middle, all while Doctor Doom (Robert Downey Jr.) tries to take over the entire multiverse.

While Brand New Day focuses on a more grounded Peter Parker, acting as a local “Neighborhood Spider-Man,” it seems distant from the large-scale cosmic events coming in Avengers: Doomsday. But does this mean his alternate universe counterparts, Tobey Maguire’s and Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Men from Spider-Man: No Way Home, are also separate from those events?

Will Spider-Man Return For Avengers: Doomsday?

The cast for Avengers: Doomsday is huge, but Tom Holland wasn’t included in the initial announcement. While there’s talk he might return, we’re only trusting official confirmations now. As of right now, Tom Holland isn’t confirmed to be in the movie, and the film seems to be moving forward without him.

The upcoming Brand New Day storyline will focus on Spider-Man dealing with street-level threats like ninjas from The Hand and the villain Tombstone, with help from heroes like The Punisher and potentially Daredevil. This feels like a big move for Marvel Studios, possibly indicating they’re finally listening to fans and creating two distinct types of superhero movies: more realistic, grounded stories, and larger, more fantastical adventures. This would explain why street-level heroes in New York City might not join forces with teams like Sam Wilson’s Avengers or the government-backed New Avengers (the Thunderbolts), especially when the stakes involve facing and potentially destroying entire universes. It just wouldn’t make sense to bring Spider-Man along for a mission like that. It’s more logical for the Avengers to handle those cosmic threats, leaving Earth safe for heroes like Spider-Man to protect.

Avengers: Doomsday Almost Certainly Has More Than One Spider-Man

While we can’t say for sure, most of the leaks about the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday movie suggest that Spider-Man characters from other films will appear in it.

According to a recent leak, the movie Avengers: Doomsday might begin with a scene set on Earth-96283 – the world where Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man lives. Apparently, this version of Spider-Man, known as Peter 2, is briefly shown before being unexpectedly pulled away through a portal.

According to another recent leak, Peter Parker from a different universe (Peter 2) will be taken by the TVA for a bigger purpose: creating a team of heroes called the “Multiversal Avengers.” This team, which we won’t fully reveal to avoid spoilers, will include both Peter 2 and Peter 3, and they’ll be involved in a crucial fight to defend the TVA.

Although it hasn’t been officially confirmed, it seems very likely that Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield will appear in Avengers: Doomsday. The movie is increasingly looking like it will heavily reference its own history, and it appears to be setting up a grand, fitting send-off for the actors who starred in Marvel films before the Marvel Cinematic Universe began.

Considering everything, it’s understandable why Doomsday focuses more on Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield than Tom Holland. Holland will have his moment in Spider-Man: Brand New Day and will likely play a big role in Avengers: Secret Wars and the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Maguire’s Spider-Man has earned a place with other superhero film icons like the X-Men, and fans would love to see Garfield reprise his charming, humorous performance one more time.

Dream big? Getting a quick scene in the next Avengers movie featuring all three Spider-Men from No Way Home would be amazing. We could even add Tom Hardy as Venom for extra fun!
