In a showdown for the ages, actors Tom Holland and Tobey Maguire are set to face off in a high-stakes game of rock paper scissors to determine who will play the titular role in Spider-Man 4, the highly anticipated sequel that is currently in the works.
Sources close to the production have confirmed that both actors are being considered for the role, but the producers are having a tough time deciding between the two. Rather than go through the usual audition process, they’ve decided to settle the matter with a classic game of rock paper scissors.
“Tom and Tobey are both fantastic actors, but we just can’t seem to choose between them,” said one producer. “We thought it would be fun to let fate decide.“
The game’s rules are simple: the first actor to win two out of three rounds will be awarded the role of Spider-Man. At best, the loser will have to settle for a cameo in the film.
Fans of both actors have taken to social media to voice their support and predictions for the outcome. Some have even started placing bets on the winner.
“I’m Team Tobey all the way,” said one die-hard Maguire fan. “He was the OG Spider-Man, and nobody can beat his charm and charisma.“
Others, however, are rooting for Holland, who has gained a new generation of fans with his portrayal of the web-slinging hero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
“Tom is the perfect Spider-Man for the modern era,” said one Holland supporter. “He’s got the athleticism, the wit, and the heart that the character needs.“
Regardless of the outcome, it’s clear that this showdown will go down in Hollywood history as one of the most unconventional casting decisions ever made. Who will emerge victorious? Only time – and a few rounds of rock paper scissors – will tell.
