Spider-man star Tobey Maguire has fired back at allegations he took cash from a convicted conman in unlicensed poker games, insisting the card play was no more than fun among friends. Maguire has been accused of taking more than $300,000 (£187,500) in winnings from bankrupt hedge fund manager Bradley Ruderman, who is currently behind bars after he was convicted of operating a fraudulent Ponzi scheme.

Bankruptcy trustees filed suit against Maguire in a bid to recoup money that Ruderman claims to have lost in illegal poker games in California, but the actor has now filed legal documents, categorically denying that he participated in high-stakes celebrity poker games.

In his suit, obtained by TMZ.com, he maintains the poker games were not “controlled” and there was not a “regular roster of players consisting of wealthy celebrities, entrepreneurs, attorneys and businessmen.”

  1. Maguire Fires Back At Poker Cash Allegations
]]> Tobey Maguire – who has portrayed the titular character and his alter-ego Peter Parker for the past three movies – and the film’s director Sam Raimi won’t be returning after clashing with producers over the script.

Sam said: “While Tobey and I were looking forward to doing a fourth one together, the studio and Marvel have a unique opportunity to take the franchise in a new direction, and I know they will do a terrific job.”

Sony Pictures, who are making the movie, insist the project will still go ahead but will now be released in 2012, instead of next year as previously planned.

However, it is thought they will now make a prequel about Peter Parker as a teenager instead, meaning Kirsten Dunst – who played love interest Mary Jane Watson – will also not return.
