  • Sam Raimi has expressed his desire to direct a fourth Spider-Man film starring Tobey Maguire, stating he would “love” to do it if the opportunity arose.
  • Tobey Maguire, who previously played Spider-Man in Raimi's adaptations, reprised his role in the 2021 Marvel Cinematic Universe film, Spider-Man: No Way Home.
  • Raimi acknowledged the current success of Marvel's Spider-Man films and suggested it might not make sense to disrupt their ongoing run at present.
  • His recent comments appear to be a reversal from earlier statements where he indicated it wouldn't be right to 'resurrect' his version of the story.
  • Raimi had previously heard rumours about a potential Spider-Man 4 but was uncertain if Marvel would be interested in pursuing such a project.
