Then V.S. Now: How Would The Cast Of Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man Look 20 years later

“With great power comes great responsibility” – Spider-Man.

We all know that way before when Andrew Garfield and Tom Holland took up the mantel of spider-man for different movie adaptations, Tobey Maguire was the first actor to play Spider-Man out of the comic books into the Big Screen.
Released in the year 2002 it was the first spider-man movie directed by Sam Raimi.
It starred Maguire and Kirsten Dunst as Peter Parker and MJ, respectly.
The movie took traces from the comics.
It revolved around Peter Parker, an ordinary nerd teenager, whose life changed after he was bitten by a genetically modified radioactive spider.
With his new identity, Peter took up the role of the “friendly neighborhood Spider-Man” and looked after New York’s citizens.
Portrayed by Tobey Maguire was one of the best decisions that director Sam Raimi as the movie earned the right critics.
Not only that, but the film also earned several awards like the People’s Choice Award for Favorite Movie, MTV Movie Award for Best Female Performance, Teen Choice Award for Choice Movie Actor: Drama, among others.
The movie gained a massive success at the box-office and among fans that it led to two more sequels of the film that were released in 2004 and 2007, making it Sam Raimi’s trilogy.
