Industry insider Daniel Richtman recently shared intriguing news about the nextSpider-Manmovie on his Discord.According to the source, Marvel Studios is replacing Jon Watts as director and is currently seeking a new candidate, with Sam Raimi being the top choice. While Raimi’s name has come up before in connection withSpider-Man 4, no official confirmation or denial has been made yet.
For months, the major issue and topic of discussion surrounding the future of theSpider-Manmovie has been the search for a new director.Marvel Studios is actively seeking to replace Jon Watts, who directed the previous three movies in the franchise. Despite several names being floated around, no final decision has been reached yet. Among the candidates, Sam Raimi is emerging as a particularly compelling choice. Raimi, renowned for directingthe originalSpider-Mantrilogyfrom 2002 to 2007, is seen by many as an ideal fit for the role. Raimi’s name has been linked withSpider-Man 4for some time, and his involvement in the Marvel universe was reignited with his direction ofDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnessin 2022. This led to speculation thathe might also directDoctor Strange 3.However, the possibility of him taking on both a newSpider-Manmovie and another major Marvel project seems unlikely. The logistical challenges and significance of directing both movies make this scenario a long shot. Moreover, Raimi is currently working onSend Help, a new horror thriller for 20th Century Studios, which further diminishes the likelihood of his return to Marvel in the immediate future. While Raimi remains Marvel’s top choice for theSpider-Manproject, his existing work and the weight of directing two major Marvel movies create a complex situation that might impact his potential involvement.
Several names have emerged aspotential candidates for the director’s chairofSpider-Man 4, but no final decision has been made. There have been rumors suggesting that Marvel Studios might still be trying to bring Jon Watts back for one final movie. However, Watts has publicly stated his disinterest in returning, and with his involvement in another major project, it seems unlikely he will be back. For several months,directors Justin Lin and Drew Goddardwere under consideration for the role, but both are currently focused on their own projects, making their involvement improbable at this time. In addition, directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, known for their work onMs. Marvel, are among those being considered for theSpider-Man 4directorial position. Kevin Feige has confirmed that work onSpider-Man 4has begun, with the script currently in the drafting stages. While this confirms that the movie is still some way from beginning production, it also means there is still time to secure the perfect director for the project.
