\nDespite what you may have heard online, it isn’t looking likely that we’ll finally see a Tobey Maguire led and Sam Raimi directed Spider-Man 4<\/strong>.\n<\/p>\n

\nRumours have been circling that Raimi might be returning to finally direct a fourth entry, with Maguire back in the lead role, but in a recent interview with CBR<\/a>, he made it clear there are no such plans right now. “Well, I haven’t heard about that yet,” Raimi said when asked about the rumours. “I did read that, but I’m not actually working on it yet. I mean, Marvel and Columbia are so successful with current Spider-Man [movies], and the track there, and I don’t know that they’re going to go back to me, and say, ‘Well, folks, we can also tell that story!’ I’m not sure, but I love all the new Spider-Man movies. I loved Spider-Man: No Way Home. It was really, super powerful seeing Tobey [Maguire] again in it.”\n<\/p>\n

\nBack in the day, Sony was actually planning to develop a fourth entry in the Raimi Spider-Man trilogy. Script writers were even attached, and potential casting included John Malkovich as Vulture and Anne Hathaway as Felicia Hardy\/ Black Cat, but ultimately Sony cancelled the project due to disagreements between it and Raimi causing the director to leave the project.
