I may have just semi-confirmed a Redditor's scoop... (FEAST -> Tobey Promo)
About 2 months ago, a Redditor posted a handful of things related to Spider-Man 3 in a thread. He made a handful of claims, but here's what I feel is important:
- A damaged Spider-Man seeks shelter with some NY homeless.
- Tobey Maguire is already on board. He visited the set and took some stills for the movie promotion in late November. He was also present when Tom was filming a scene with Cumberbatch in some type of apartment built on a sound stage.
Normally I'd disregard it, but here's where things get interesting.
Weeks after he posted his potential scoop, set photos came out showing that
F.E.A.S.T. is in the movie. This seems to back up the idea that Spider-Man will be mingling with homeless people in the movie. If that part is true, Tobey may already be a done deal.
The potential scooper posted his claims in a non attention seeking way, and he even says he has no info related to various things like Molina's role, Andrew's role, and the title. If he were lying, I feel like his claims would have been wayyy meatier, but it was mostly unimportant s*** outside of the Tobey thing and a separate Michelle thing he said. Seems like he really does have a bit of info.
Basically, if this guy's legit, Tobey's in the movie.
EDIT 1: He's politely asked me to not bring too much attention to him, so I'm going to respect his wishes and remove direct links to his comments. He says he's concerned about people losing their jobs.
EDIT 2: It looks like there was also a casting call for homeless people. That seems to add even more credibility...
EDIT 3: Homeboy deleted his posts and account. Hopefully he's okay. If he was telling the truth, we're all obviously incredibly grateful. Here's part of his final message:
"I only commented because these Maguire claims were getting out of hand. I kinda regretted posting that stuff. I have an 'acquaintance' who tends to work on some Marvel movies, and he often shares information with me that is being talked about between some crew members. Unfortunately, I don't have hard proof. I only shared what my acquaintance allowed me to without jeopardizing 'third parties'."
EDIT 4: I have some (not all) of his other information. I'll be posting it here now that his account is gone.
- The first scene is a news broadcast discussion, kinda like a debate, about Spider-Man accusations. They also talk about Peter Parker. They plan to do a running gag where New Yorkers give their opinion on Spider-Man (similar to that scene in Spider-Man 1 with people giving their opinions on the street)
- Spider-Man saves a disabled woman.
- The set built for the third act took almost 3 months to build. They're going all out.
- Peter Parker's relationship with Michelle will not continue beyond this film.
- Tobey's stills could have been for concept art or for guiding the wardrobe department. He's not positive if they were promotional.
EDIT 5: Tom Holland confirmed that there are scenes in which he is visibly damaged pretty badly. Obviously this isn't proof that the scoop is real, Spider-Man being injured is kind of a constant thing, but I figured it's worth adding to the post. So far, nothing contradicts the potential scooper.
