Overview
- In a new CinemaBlend interview, Raimi said there were no auditions for a female antagonist on the unmade Spider-Man 4.
- He confirmed he discussed the Vulture role with John Malkovich, adding that the film ultimately never moved forward.
- The remarks undercut long-circulating claims linking Black Cat or a so-called Vulturess to the project.
- Rachel McAdams was not in talks for Black Cat, a rumor she and a Sony representative had already dismissed years ago.
- Raimi indicated he has passed the franchise baton to current stewards, as the Tom Holland-led series continues with a July 2026 film reported as Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
