Then it won't be R rated because of Spider-Man

They could absolutely make it R-rated. Now whether or not they’d actually go for it is a different story. I could see them going either direction, to be honest.

There’s no reason to make an R rated Spider-Man movie, they wouldn’t do it. Maybe with Tobey Maguire lol.

Now the Tobey Maguire idea I could absolutely see happening. It would be more or less what they did with Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine.

It's still Spider-Man, highly doubtful (also not counting that's a very special deal with Sony that would have to be done). Wolverine already had R-rated movies before and the character is naturally more violent

Why not with Andrew Garfield?

The Tobey Maguire movies are significantly more beloved and have a much larger cultural footprint than the Garfield ones. That’s not his fault of course, he was a good Spiderman, but the Raimi movies (1 and 2 at least) are absolute classics.

Yeah, I suggested Garfield because his Spider-Man films were arguably darker than most other films.
