Why Was Spider-Man in the 2000sX-MenBlooper Reel?
Although the blooper reel was hilarious, many questioned why Spider-Man was on the set at all. Turns out it was nothing but a prank, as there were no intentions of bringing the two together on screen since they didn’t share a universe back then. Now that theX-Menfranchise is coming to the MCU, the chances of this happening in reality are higher than ever. Many suspect it will happen in the 2027 film,Avengers: Secret Wars.But only time will tell if this will all come true or not, nothing is confirmed as of yet.
Within the comments of the X post, numerous individuals engaged in debates and attempted to unmask the Spider-Man actor in the blooper reel. Among these discussions, many contended that the voice closely resembled Andrew Garfield’s. However, it was neither Tobey Maguire nor Andrew Garfield in the scene. Surprisingly, it was the stuntman Scott Leva who donned the Spider-Man suit in the blooper reel! He is an Academy Award-winning stuntman and has been credited in theX-Menfilm as the Waterboy #2.
Fans are now glad, Leva was down for this hilarious prank on set!
