Spider-Man 4: Director Backtracks After Saying the Movie Would Never Happen
Sam Raimi revisits Spider-Man 4 and admits the long-awaited sequel with Tobey Maguire could still happen someday.
Spider-Man 4, the once-planned sequel to Sam Raimi’s trilogy starring Tobey Maguire, remains one of the most talked-about unrealized Marvel projects. Even after Maguire’s return in Spider-Man: No Way Home, many fans still hope to see his version of Peter Parker lead another solo adventure.
Speculation surrounding the actor has only fueled that excitement. Persistent rumors suggest Maguire could appear in Avengers: Doomsday, keeping his connection to the Marvel universe active and encouraging fans to wonder whether a standalone comeback might still be possible.
Recently, Sam Raimi added fresh energy to the conversation. After previously stating that a fourth film was unlikely, the director has adjusted his stance and now admits the project could happen under the right circumstances.
Raimi says the door is not fully closed
In a new interview, Raimi acknowledged Marvel Studios’ current success with its own Spider-Man direction, where the character interacts with the Avengers and other heroes. He explained that interrupting that momentum for another film might not make sense at the moment.
However, the filmmaker made it clear that his personal interest has not faded. Raimi said he would love to return and believes the opportunity could arrive someday, even if nothing is currently in motion.
For now, the idea remains more hopeful than concrete. Still, having Raimi openly consider the possibility is enough to keep longtime fans paying attention.
With Hollywood increasingly leaning on legacy revivals and spin-offs, strong audience demand could eventually help bring the project back into development. Raimi’s willingness would likely be a key piece of that puzzle.
