Spider-Man 3 set to bring back Tobey Macguire and Andrew Garfield – and there could be a big bisexual twist

Spider-Man 3 will reportedly star Tom Holland, Tobey Macguire and Andrew Garfield re-enacting the "Spider-Man pointing at Spider-Man" meme – only with a bisexual twist.

According to Fandomwire , Macguire and Garfield have both signed on to reprise the Marvel superhero alongside the current, aggressively twinky Peter Parker, Holland.

A Sony source "closely involved" in Spider-Man 3 is said to have told the outlet that Macguire and Garfield's Spider-Mans will arrive in the film's final act, bringing the Spider-Verse to the Marvel Comics Universe for the first time.

This latest leak follows reports earlier this year that bosses wanted to bring Garfield's Spider-Man back and give him a boyfriend.

Tom Holland and Andrew Garfield want one thing: A queer Spider-Man.

It was reported in February that Sony wanted Garfield to portray a bisexual Spider-Man, years after the actor campaigned for producers to make the character  pansexual .

“I’m excited to get to the point where we don’t have to have this conversation,” Garfield said in 2015, “where we can have a pansexual Spider-Man.”

“The richness of the world we’re in, the diversity of the world we’re in; you look at the animal kingdom and you see it reflected,” he told Mic .

“You look all over,” he continued. “What are we so scared of? Why are we so, ‘No, it has to be this way, a man and a woman.’ Why is that even a conversation?”

The calls were amplified years later by the current Spider-Man, Holland, who similarly said that Marvel superheroes needn’t always be " a straight white guy ".

When asked is Spider-Man could ever be gay, he shrugged: “Yeah, of course."

When asked how soon, he said that the future of the character isn’t his to decide.

“But I do know a lot about the future of Marvel, and they are going to be representing lots of different people in the next few years,” he elaborated.
