Could Spider-Man be The Hobbit?

According to reports, Tobey Maguire could be lining up two new projects.

Not a day goes by without some potential casting rumours for The Hobbit , and Tobey Maguire is the latest name to be mentioned for the lead role of Bilbo Baggins.

Latino Review reports that Maguire, who is currently promoting Brothers , 🀅was asked who he would like to work with in the 🎐future. He answered: "Guillermo del Toro... We may have something here in the near future".



So this has got the rumour mill spinning, claiming that Maguire is in 'the early stages of talks' to headline the epic prequel, apparently having time in his schedule between Spidey 4 and 5 .
