On August 24, 2025, Propscore Auction announced that the iconic Spider-Man costume worn by Tobey Maguire in Spider-Man 2 (2004) and Spider-Man 3 (2007) is up for auction, starting at $50,000 with bids expected to reach $100,000-$200,000 on September 4, as reported by Variety. This collectable, crafted 20 years ago, offers fans a rare piece of cinematic history.
Designed by Oscar-winning costume designer James Acheson and Frontline Design, the costume features a red and dark blue spandex leotard with integrated boots, a stylised muscular silhouette, and a larger chest emblem, per Propscore Auction. Labelled “3.S” for Spider-Man 3, it includes side and back zips for ease of wear. Displayed on a custom mannequin with a spandex and foam muscle suit tailored for Maguire, the costume retains its original silhouette, though the latex belt shows age-related deterioration.

Propscore notes, “Care has been taken not to overstretch the belt,” preserving its iconic look despite fragility. The piece’s authenticity and connection to Sam Raimi’s trilogy, which grossed $2.5 billion globally, per Box Office Mojo, make it a coveted item for collectors.
The auction taps into renewed Spider-Man nostalgia, fueled by Maguire’s 2021 return in Spider-Man: No Way Home and the trilogy’s 4K rerelease in 2025. The costume’s link to Maguire’s defining role, seen by 1.2 billion viewers worldwide, enhances its appeal.
Bidders can participate through Propscore’s online platform, with fierce competition expected. As the auction approaches, collectors should review condition reports carefully due to the costume’s age. This rare offering celebrates Maguire’s legacy and the lasting impact of the Spider-Man franchise.
