Overview
- Wood, speaking on the Happy Sad Confused podcast Thursday, said people still confuse him for Tobey Maguire and greet him with “Hey, Spider-Man.”
- He explained that the mix-ups are always linked to Maguire’s Spider-Man and said he usually does not correct the fans.
- The comment came during promotion for Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, after host Josh Horowitz asked which celebrity he is most mistaken for.
- Maguire played Peter Parker in Sam Raimi’s early-2000s Spider-Man trilogy and returned to the role in 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, which keeps the association strong for many fans.
- GamesRadar+ also noted Maguire once told Reddit he signed an autograph as “Elijah Wood” for an excited Lord of the Rings fan, highlighting how often the two actors are confused.
