Tobey Maguire’s costume choice in Avengers: Doomsday sparked widespread discussion among fans following early behind-the-scenes reports. New details have revealed why the actor wore a CGI suit during filming and what it means for his Spider-Man’s updated appearance in the upcoming Marvel crossover.

Tobey Maguire likely to get a new functional suit in Avengers: Doomsday

Tobey Maguire is set to appear in Avengers: Doomsday with a new suit. According to @MyTimeToShineH, “Tobey Maguire was only in a mo-cap suit for Avengers: Doomsday at first because his new suit wasn’t ready yet.”

This indicates a new functional suit was in development during early production. Reports confirm that Maguire was “reportedly wearing a CGI suit while filming ‘Avengers: Doomsday’,” as posted by Cosmic Marvel, citing scooper DanielRPK.

Contrary to speculation, the new suit will not follow a high-tech or nanotech-based Iron Spider-style design. Sources confirm that Marvel is developing a functional suit, similar to the one Maguire wore in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Fans observed that the motion capture gear likely hid the new suit’s design during filming. The updated suit will build on Maguire’s previous Spider-Man look without incorporating advanced tech elements.

Additional details suggest Maguire’s Peter Parker variant will feature a visual update. As stated by @variablelace, he will appear with a “short beard,” drawing comparisons to the Ultimate Spider-Man comic version. This detail implies a more mature version of the character in line with multiverse portrayals.

Avengers: Doomsday features a large ensemble cast. According to @variablelace, Ryan Reynolds appears as Deadpool and Hugh Jackman returns as Wolverine. Chris Hemsworth, Anthony Mackie, Tom Hiddleston, Paul Rudd, and Robert Downey Jr. also join the cast, with Downey playing Doctor Doom, whom @MyTimeToShineHello describes as “shaping up to be one of Marvel’s best villains.”

The film brings in new cast members including Wyatt Russell, Simu Liu, Florence Pugh, Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, and Joseph Quinn. It also features X-Men actors such as Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen. Marvel Studios will release the film on December 18, 2026.
