Sam Raimi Clears Up Those Spider-Man 4 Rumors

Almost as soon as Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield returned on-screen in Spider-Man: No Way Home, speculation swirled that one or both of their incarnations of Peter Parker could get true sequels to their Spider-Man movies. The rumor that has been most persistent is about Maguire reuniting with director Sam Raimi for Spider-Man 4. Earlier this month, Spider-Man 3 actor Thomas Hayden ******* even expressed his belief that Spider-Man 4 would happen. However, Raimi was less confident about that when asked about the rumors at WonderCon last weekend.

“I did read [those rumors], but I’m not actually working on it yet,” Raimi told

. ” I mean, Marvel and Columbia are so successful with current Spider-Man [movies], and the track there, and I don’t know that they’re going to go back to me, and say, ‘Well, folks, we can also tell that story!’”

Raimi initially developed his version of Spider-Man 4 with John Malkovich in mind to play the Vulture and Anne Hathaway as ****** Cat. But when he couldn’t make the story work to his satisfaction, Raimi walked away from the franchise and The Amazing Spider-Man followed with Garfield taking over the title role from Maguire. While speaking with CBR, Raimi noted that he and Maguire haven’t spoken about making another Spider-Man sequel together. But he didn’t downplay the possibility that Maguire has been open to it.

“I haven’t talked to Tobey about [a fourth movie with me], but maybe Marvel has or Columbia Pictures,” related Raimi. “I just worked with Marvel on a movie called Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.’ So, I’m on great terms with them. I’m sure I would hear about it if it was in the works.”

Additionally, Raimi shared his admiration for the most recent Spider-Man movies, especially Spider-Man: No Way Home.

“I love all the new Spider-Man movies,” said Raimi. “I loved Spider-Man: No Way Home. It was really, super powerful seeing Tobey [Maguire] again in it.”
