Sam Raimi Rules Out Returning to Direct a Tobey MaguireSpider-Man 4’

He says the torch has passed to Tom Holland’s era, pointing fans to Brand New Day on July 31.

Overview

  • In new comments to ScreenRant, the original trilogy’s director said it wouldn’t be right for him to resurrect his version and that Maguire’s Peter and Dunst’s MJ have gone elsewhere.
  • He characterized his three films as a completed run and said he happily handed the torch to the current stewardship that audiences are following.
  • Raimi’s once-planned fourth installment was abandoned years ago after creative differences with Sony, closing the door on a legacy-sequel revival.
  • The series’ next installment, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, is slated for July 31 and is described as a fresh chapter for the character.
  • Unconfirmed rumors continue to link Tobey Maguire to future MCU ensemble films, and Raimi has separately expressed interest in other heroes such as Batman, The Shadow, and Superman.
