Madame Web Reuses Footage From Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man 2

It probably isn’t likely that “Madame Web” is part of the Raimi-Verse. For starters, “Madame Web” takes place in 2003. Sam Raimi’s first “Spider-Man” movie came out in 2022, so Tobey Maguire’s version of the web-slinger should be fully powered and swinging around town during the events of “Madame Web.” Additionally, Ben (Adam Scott) and Mary Parker (Emma Roberts) are in the movie, with the latter giving birth to a boy who’s presumably Peter Parker at the film’s end. Granted, Mary never actually says her baby’s name is “Peter,” so these could be completely different people with the same names. It’s just not very feasible that “Madame Web” is precisely in the same universe.

With the Multiverse now mandatory across any superhero franchise, it’s always possible Madame Web could wind up in another universe if she wanted, including Raimi’s series, but the safest bet at this time is that Sony simply reused a shot. The studio did it before with a project that had nothing to do with “Spider-Man.” The trailer for the 2017 film, “Life,” starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Reynolds, had a shot pulled from a scene in “Spider-Man 3.” It appears Sony simply likes recycling footage where it can.

All this talk of the Raimi-Verse likely just makes fans hope even harder that “Spider-Man 4” with Maguire comes to fruition. After all, Maguire’s Peter Parker is now familiar with the Multiverse thanks to “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” so maybe he’ll wind up in the universe of “Madame Web” at some point.
