Tobey Maguire almost lost his job as Spider-Man before the sequel even started filming. It’s a strange thing to think about now, especially considering how closely we associate him with Sam Raimi’s movies. But Sony had a problem. Maguire was dealing with a back injury, and the studio wasn’t convinced he could handle another physically…
