Nearly 20 years later, Sam Raimi is open to taking another swing at Spider-Man with a fourth installment of his Marvel movies.
Following Tobey Maguire’s return as Peter Parker in Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021), Raimi said the audience “loved him,” as well as returning villains Green Goblin (Willem Dafoe) and Otto Octavius (Alfred Molina).
“So, I think the kids would like to see him,” he told the Associated Press. “Right now, Marvel is very successful on their own tangent with their own Spider-Man, where he is involved with The Avengers and the other superheroes.”

Raimi continued, “So, I don’t think it makes sense right now to break up that great, successful run they’re having, just to allow me to make another Spider-Man movie. But I’d love to. The day might come, and I’d love to do it.”

After Raimi directed him in Spider-Man (2002), Spider-Man 2 (2004) and Spider-Man 3 (2007), Maguire reprised his role as the titular web-slinger in Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021).
Raimi last returned to the MCU to direct Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022), working with Rachel McAdams. The pair reunites on their current film Send Help, now available in theaters.
Yes it will happen in a few more years and it will be a billion dollar success.
businesswise certainly but i really doubt as a movie it will please much people. at this point it would almost certainly involve an older, slower spidey, villains and other cast. would most likely feel like an elseworld story that struggles to explain how during this break there were countless villains or for some reason there were none.
i hope the movie happens but i just see it as memberberries. kinda like michael keaton in flash. trash movie and keaton wasnt good batman either but it was something to see
Man he had me last week with the headline no spiderman 4 lol and now he’s saying it’s maybe happening. I’m fine with that! Lol
First he is not interested now he is. Make up your mind!
Crazy how no one’s allowed to change their mind anymore. Once you say thing you have never budge, learn, rethink the issue EVER.
Exactly – commit to one mindset, and stick to it, for the rest of your life, without any room for any growth! GOSH!
Nice action
