Tobey Maguire in the avengers

I was wondering if it would of worked if they put Tobey Maguire in the avengers as spider man but have a younger actor I n the spider man movies;

I thought a good part of what made the Civil War Spiderman work was the likeable actor. He did a really good job and Marvel handled Spiderman very well. What I remember most about Toby is that he bawled a lot. I was glad Marvel didn't decide to make Spidey a blubbering weenie. The only good thing I remember about Toby's Spidey movies was Alfred Molina's excellent Dr. Octopus.

Quit whinin' ya baby!!

Ugh. I'm showing my age here. When you said Toby Maguire in The Avengers I assumed you meant:

I was about become very sarky there for a moment.

At least you referenced the TV show and not the terrible 1998 film.

 

[Ajid]

Oh dear lord that film was an abomination.

 

[Vince W]

Film. I recall no film.

what about Nicolaus Hammond in the avengers then??

 

[Ursa major]

I recall no film.

So far, I've managed never to see it, thank goodness. The TV show, by contrast, is on in the UK on weekdays at 20:00. (I think they've just started their (at least) fifth run through of the Peel and King seasons: Peel's first ever episode was, I believe, on earlier this evening.)
