5 movies plus 1 uncredited role, 6 episodes of a TV show, and voice work in 1 animated movie. That's it since Spider-Man 3 was released in 2007.
Why do you think that is?

He’s apparently not the nicest person in real life, but I don’t know if that’s a factor.

He probably made enough money from those Spider-Man films to not have to work a lot.
Same with Mike Myers.

And his best role was played by Michael Cera.

Maybe he's busy raising children.

I actually made a thread about this a while ago. It's called "Superheroitis". He starred in a really successful superhero franchise and now he's pretty much been typecasted to it. If I were to show a picture of Tobey to random people on the street a good chunk probably wouldn't even know his actual name and almost all of them would recognize him as "that guy from the Spiderman films". The same thing happened to Christopher Reeves (no the horse accident was not what ruined his career)

Christopher Reeve did continue acting though.
An episode of Smallville--the only one I watched.
How's Hugh Jackman doing?
I guess you can't escape it--even Robert Downey Jr--what is he associated with now?
He did lots of things before Iron Man.

Oh okay he must have been gagging for a comeback then. |

Leo and The Rock? Is that it? We know RDJ isn't because look at Doolittle. |

Well there's only franchises now--and even DiCaprio did a few---anything with a known historical figure is a kind of franchise or brand. Howard Hughes or Hoover.
Also when you have Tarantino or Scorsese--so DiCaprio is riding on them as well. Not him alone.
DiCaprio did one adventure movie franchise--the Three Musketeers which was not well received--his performance at least, so I guess he won't be doing that again.
The Rock did the Mummy films and Jumanji etc.
There are no actors who can sell a movie just with their name. Eastwood is the only one I can think of who avoided franchises.
he said, thank god I wasn't a young actor today--because of the superhero stuff-although he did say the Sub-Mariner was his favorite.

Hugh had one huge hit after Logan (The Greatest Showman) and he’s still working. Is there enough demand out there for a superhero musical?

Clint Eastwood doesn't do franchises you say? What about the 1500 Dirty Harry films he did? |

True. But he's doing that without doing Disney and superhero stuff. Maybe not suuuper banakable, but maybe he's the closest thing we have to a sure bet that a film won't bomb. |
