Following the big success of Spider-Man: No Way Home featuring the return of Tobey Maguire, apparently there have been rumors a Spider-Man 4 could be possible — and both Sam Raimi and Thomas Haden Church want the flick made.
Thomas Haden Church returned as Sandman in No Way Home and recently filled in CB.com that there are rumors of a Spider-Man 4, which would be the fourth film from the Spidey films from the 2000s.
“There’s always been some kind of…I’ve heard rumors…that Sam Raimi was going to do another [Spider-Man movie] with Tobey [Maguire] and if that happens, I would probably campaign to maybe at least do a cameo,” Church said.
Regarding what director Sam Raimi said, last year saw after directing Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Raimi stated to Movie Pilot that he is completely open to returning for another Marvel film.
“I’ve come to realize after making Doctor Strange that anything is possible, really anything in the Marvel universe, any team-ups,” Raimi said. “I love Tobey. I love Kirsten Dunst. I think all things are possible. I don’t really have a story or a plan. I don’t know if Marvel would be interested in that right now. I don’t know what their thoughts are about that. I haven’t really pursued that. But it sounds beautiful. Even if it wasn’t a Spider-Man movie, I’d love to work with Tobey again, in a different role.”
Thomas Haden Church has heard Spider-Man 4 rumors
If Spider-Man 4 did get made, it would have to get greenlit by Sony who owns the film rights to Spider-Man, but since the Tom Holland movies have been so good under Kevin Feige, let’s hope Feige and his MCU crew would also like to work on a fourth Tobey Maguire movie.
Following No Way Home, there was the thought that Andrew Garfield would return as Spidey in some way, but to date, nothing has been announced.
A fourth Spider-Man with Tom Holland set in the MCU is thought to be happening, and Sony has its separate Spidey spinoff universe with Venom, Kraven, Morbius, and Madame Web happening, in addition to the popular Spider-Verse animated movies.
