Will Tobey Maguire play Bilbo Baggins? Probably not.

tobey maguire Yesterday Latino Review got a ‘scoop’ which said that Tobey Maguire and his agency were in early talks for him to play Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit. After I read this my first thought was obviously Spider-Man 4. Sam Raimi recently said they were aiming to start shooting in March, and Peter Jackson said last week that The Hobbit is on track to start filming in the first half of 2010. If this rumor is true that would give Tobey Maguire 2-3 months to film Spider-Man 4, which wouldn’t be possible considering filming on Spider-Man 3 took 6 months.

Thankfully this rumour has been cleared up by a few places. TheOneRing.net confirmed with their source that it wasn’t true, and Movieline asked Maguire s publicist who said that this news was false.

As you were.

    To bad this would have been great choice for Bilbo Baggins.
    TM even looks like he is somewhat related to Elijah Wood.
    Oh well. What might have been.

    Thank. Heavens. Tabetsy.

    I would have cried myself to sleep if he was cast as Bilbo. T.T
