WTF Happened to Tobey Maguire

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

In our latest WTF series, we take a look at some of our favorite stars and filmmakers who have seemingly disappeared or altered their careers over the years to the point that begs the question; WTF happened? Now, before you think we're just picking on celebrities or running some gossip rag stuff, think again! We take a fun (and sometimes funny), researched and fair approach, looking at all angles that led our subject to wherever they are now (which isn't necessarily a bad place at all). If anything, it answers the question on where these fine folks went, how they got there and where you can find 'em now.

This time out we take a swing with Tobey Maguire to find out just WTF happened to the elusive actor who dazzled us as the first live-action feature film SPIDER-MAN (and did it two more times after that), as well as the gimmicky B&W/color film PLEASANTVILLE, the horse-racing biopic SEABISCUIT, an adaptation of John Irving's THE CIDER HOUSE RULES, not one but two Ang Lee dramas, including RIDE WITH THE DEVIL and THE ICE STORM, Baz Luhrmann's adaptation of THE GREAT GATSBY in 2013 and as Bobby Fischer in PAWN SACRIFICE in 2014. Since then, the actor has virtually disappeared from the big screen, leaving us all to wonder what he's gotten up to and why he hasn't popped back up in, well, anything at all. Have we seen the last of Tobey Maguire or is he preparing a big comeback? Join us as we find out WTF Happened to Tobey Maguire!
