While it might be disappointing to hear Sam Raimi isn’t working on Spider-Man 4, he does have his sight set on another Marvel project.
Earlier this week, Raimi addressed rumours that have been circulating recently about him finally making Spider-Man 4 with Tobey Maguire as the web slinger once more. Unfortunately for those of you that want one, Raimi did put those rumours to bed, as he isn’t working on a sequel. However, in a recent interview with ScreenGeek, he was asked about another rumour involving him and another Marvel project he may or may not be directing – Avengers: Secret Wars. When asked about the project, Raimi said “I love 90% of the Marvel heroes that I’ve read in the great Stan Lee Marvel Universe comic books.
“I would love to work with Marvel again. They haven’t reasonably asked me to. I hope they had a good experience with me. They haven’t asked me yet. I hope they do.” Avengers: Secret Wars is still actually a few years away, as the film is meant to release in May 2027, so it isn’t that surprising that Marvel hasn’t assigned a director just yet. Aside from the original Spider-Man trilogy, Raimi has actually directed an MCU film, 2022’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, an honestly mostly mediocre film, but I think that’s just the curse of trying to make a Marvel film these days.

It’s intriguing to think about Sam Raimi potentially directing Avengers: Secret Wars! His experience with the original Spider-Man trilogy and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness could bring a unique perspective to the Marvel universe. I wonder how he would approach a team-up movie like Secret Wars. Exciting times ahead for Marvel fans!
