Actor Tobey Maguire, star of the new film Spider-Man, has splashed out $3.7m (£2.5m) on a house in Beverly Hills, according to US reports. 

Maguire, 26, earned $4m for the film, according to the Los Angeles Times, with another $23m (£16m) guaranteed for two sequels. 

Spider-Man broke box office records when it was released in the US, taking $114m (£78m) in its first three days of release. 

It was Maguire's first role in a major film, and is likely to catapult him onto the Hollywood A-list.
