Actor Tobey Maguire is a new father to a baby girl with his fiancee Jennifer Meyer, the daughter of Universal Studios president Ron Meyer. His recent film "Spider-Man 3," has wrapped, and according to an interview with news.au.com reporter Peta Hellard, he is ready to turn the page.

The days of wine and roses and supermodels seems to be a distant memory, Maguire's friendship with actor Leonardo DiCaprio, whom he met while filming "This Boy's Life" in 1993, was cited by Hellard as ancient history.

Maguire has essentially tipped the reporter and the world he is considering giving up Spider Man.

Now in post-production, the special effects-heavy Spider-Man 3 is inspiring the studio to discuss installment number 4. Maguire says while the studio is already talking about the next round of Peter Parker's adventures, "he thinks he has reached the end of the road."

"To me it seems like this is a natural point for the team to break up because we have a lot of story conclusions that were going along for the main characters for the first two movies and we kind of tie almost everything up for the third movie," he says to Hellard.

"It feels like a trilogy to me and it feels like the end."
