This time out we take a swing with Tobey Maguire to find out just WTF happened to the elusive actor who dazzled us as the first live-action feature film Spider-Man (and did it two more times after that), as well as the gimmicky B&W/color film Pleasantville, the horse-racing biopic Seabiscuit, an adaptation of John Irving's The Cider House Rules, TWO Ang Lee dramas, including Ride With The Devil and The Ice Storm and lastly in Baz Luhrmann's adaptation of The Great Gatsby in 2013 and as Bobby Fischer in Pawn Sacrifice in 2014. Since then, the actor has virtually disappeared from the big screen, leaving us all to wonder what he's gotten up to and why he hasn't popped back up in, well, anything at all. Have we seen the last of Tobey Maguire or is he preparing a big comeback? Join us as we find out WTF Happened to Tobey Maguire!

As a Maguire fan, I watched the whole thing. Pretty interesting, but long story short, he doesn't fame, he's a dad now and he prefers to work behind the camera. That said, he is rumored to star in a period drama called Babylon - if so, I'll definitely be watching it.

Well, that and Tobey's youngish/boyish image and soft voice became a detriment as he got older. The Molly Bloom allegations also really soured the public's perception of him.

They forgot Wonder Boys (2000).

He is already the first Peter Parker and Spider-Man on the big screen. He probably figured it was only possible to go downhill from there so he went out. He is a legend.

Will he come back as Spiderman now?
