Tom Holland’sSpider-Man 4cannot seem to shake off the chaos surrounding its production. Sony and Marvel would love to bring back the web-slinger for a fourth film, as it wasSpider-Man: No Way Homethat gave their respective last billion-dollar film. However, the film hasn’t locked a director yet, with Jon Watts stepping away from the duties. One of the latest rumors suggested that Sam Raimi, the director of the originalSpider-Manfilm series, will be helming the film.
However, one industry insider could confirm from his sources that Raimi is not a choice for the studios. The news is upsetting to some fans, who were excited about the director’s potential involvement due to the popularity of Tobey Maguire’s films.

However, fans received word from Jordan Ruimy ofWorld of Reelthis week that Raimi might join Marvel and Sony for a differentSpider-Man 4. Ruimy reported that Raimi is considered for helming theTom Holland-led film. TheEvil Deaddirector is popular among CBM fans as the one who gave them the definitive movie trilogy in the superhero genre.
These fans will now be disappointed to learn that Raimi’s involvement is a very narrow possibility. Countering the scoop from World of Reel, Jeff Sneider reported onThe Hot Micwith John Rocha that his sources shared that Raimi is not in the running forSpider-Man 4director. Sneider shared,“My sources say that they would bet against it being Raimi. They don’t think it’ll be Raimi.”
While fans of the originalSpider-Manfilms expected Raimi to bring back the magic, the current Marvel fans were not so confident in the director. This could be due to the director’s poor execution of the MCU project,Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. However, Raimi was a better choice considering both the studios find it difficult to find a director afterJon Watts.
