The Deepfake Tobey Maguire meme is an evolution of the 'Bully Maguire' phenomenon, which originated from Tobey's edgy and dance-heavy performance in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3. With the rise of sophisticated deepfake technology, internet creators began superimposing Tobey’s face onto other actors in various movie scenes, most notably replacing Tom Holland or Andrew Garfield in the newer Spider-Man films. These memes usually depict Tobey as a superior, smug, or aggressive version of the character he replaces, often accompanied by his iconic, confrontational dialogue. It serves as a nostalgic tribute to the original trilogy while poking fun at the character's unintentional hilarity.
