Tobey Maguire has claimed that his new movie Brothers is not a war movie.
Maguire takes on the central role of Captain Sam Cahill who is sent for a tour of duty in Afghanistan.
In an interview with Metro the actor said: "What's interesting about the movie is that while Sam suffers during the war in Afghanistan, this is definitely not a war movie.
"It's a story about a man and what he will do to get back to his family, and how he struggles to reconnect to that family."
"I'm sure that me being a father lends to my experience, although we're very different as parents.
"My character Sam is a lot more at home with his military family. He's more at home at war than he is with his kids or in his living room or with his wife. As much as I love my work, I prefer being home with family."
Maguire teams up with Natalie Portman and Jake Gyllenhaal in Brothers and he picked up a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor for his performance.
It was announced last week that Maguire had left the fourth Spider-Man project along with filmmaker Sam Raimi.
