Tobey Maguire Replaces Tom Holland In ‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’ — Thanks To Deepfake Technology

What if Tobey Maguire were still Spider-Man?

One fan wanted to find out the answer to that question, so he used deepfake face-replacement technology to swap out Tom Holland for Maguire in the trailers for “Spider-Man: Far From Home”.

The results, from YouTuber Aldo Jones, are actually pretty convincing, though it’s uncanny hearing Holland’s voice coming out of Maguire’s mouth.

On Twitter, fans were decidedly impressed but unsettled by the switcheroo.

Deepfake tech is so crazy and cool. Also this emphasizes how old Maguire looks on Holland’s frame
