jake gyllenhaal and tobey maguire look so much alike that when tobey wasn't guaranteed to sign on for spider-man 2, they had announced that jake gyllenhaal was going to replace him for the rest of the franchise. when that didn't end up happening, years later some producers thought it would be a really funny joke to have tobey and jake play brothers in a movie thats literally called 'brothers'

#in one of the many sam raimi spider-man 4 script drafts jake gyllenhaal was supposed to play mysterio #as a nod to the fact that he was this 🤏🏼 close to being literal spider-man #which is nodded to again when they literally hired him to play mysterio in the holland spider-man series #anyways guess who just watched spider-man again #its such a good fucking movie. it was my literal first favorite movie at the ripe old age of 3 yrs old and to this day its probably #my favorite superhero movie of all time #its just so. good.#also i havent seen brothers but the concept is sooo fucking funny to me #if you watch the sam raimi spider-mans tho like u can see they really have super similar facial features and even expressions #sometimes god knows he did something right so he takes the same base model and just tweaks it a bit #and thats how we ended up w jake gyllenhaal 5 years after tobey was born
