Rumors circulating online claim that Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine die in Avengers: Doomsday.
Scooper @MyTimeToShineHello posted on X, “Tobey’s Spidey and Hugh’s Wolverine both die at the beginning of Avengers Doomsday.” The same account previously stated, “In Avengers Doomsday, Deadpool and Wolverine are sent to Tobey’s Earth to destroy it. Then we get an EPIC Tobey’s Spider-Man vs Wolverine fight that ends in tragedy.”
Additional details attributed to the same source read, “In Avengers Doomsday, Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man fights Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine while their Earths are about to crash into each other.” Another report notes, “Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man fighting the X-Men and particularly Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine is the opening scene of Avengers Doomsday.” These claims indicate the battle occurs during the film’s opening sequence and involves the destruction of Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man’s Earth.
A livestream from Nerdrotic at Night previously claimed, “There’s Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man world with Tobey Maguire Spider-Man and Doctor Octopus fighting the Fox X-Men, and the Fox X-Men destroy Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man, and he dies.” However, Alex Perez of The Cosmic Circus disputed that report, stating Maguire’s Spider-Man does not die in the film. These conflicting statements have circulated without official confirmation.
Marvel Studios has not confirmed any leaked plot details regarding character deaths. Avengers: Doomsday features direction from Anthony Russo and Joe Russo, with a screenplay by Michael Waldron and Stephen McFeely. The studio will release the film in the United States on December 18, 2026, as part of Phase Six of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
