The Spider-Man franchise has been one of the steadier film series in the MCU since Tom Holland took on the iconic superhero role. However, fans have long mourned the canceled Spider-Man 4 film by Sam Raimi, which would have seen Tobey Maguire’s hero up against Vulture and Black Cat. While that scrapped idea remains in a vault somewhere, a talented writer has revived talks about penning a script for a fourth Spider-Man film, starring Maguire and Kirsten Dunst.
On X, The Batman – Part II co-writer Mattson Tomlin responded to a fan asking about his Spider-Man 4 idea, which he is interested in turning into a script. Tomlin does not have anything concrete just yet, nor official approval from the studio or talent, but he revealed that it will be a “slow and steady” process. The positive sign is that he has not “gotten a ‘no’ yet,” which could mean the related parties are waiting to see what he comes up with before deciding on reviving Spider-Man 4.
“Slow and steady wins the race. There won’t be anything to say about that for a long time (if ever!) because it involves a lot of people and politics and things going right that have nothing to do with me, but I haven’t gotten a ‘no’ yet!”
More to come.
