Actor Thomas Hayden Church, known for his role as Sandman in Spider-Man 3 and Spider-Man: No Way Home, shared his belief that director Sam Raimi is interested in making another Spider-Man movie with Tobey Maguire. In an interview with Comicbook, Church mentioned that Raimi had plans for another Spider-Man film featuring Maguire. Despite Sony Pictures having an option for Church to reprise his role as Sandman in a fourth Spider-Man movie directed by Raimi, the project never materialized.
"They had the option for me to return, which would be fantastic if it happens. I'm getting a little old," he mentioned.
Raimi directed the Spider-Man films in 2002, 2004, and 2007. While promoting his MCU movie Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness in 2022, Raimi expressed his hope to direct another Spider-Man film. However, whether this will actually come to fruition is still uncertain.
Church mentioned that there have been rumors about the possibility of him being asked to do another Spider-Man movie, and he mentioned that he would gladly do it if given the opportunity. He recently reprised his role as Sandman in Spider-Man: No Way Home, along with other characters from the Raimi films. Tobey Maguire also returned to play a different multiverse version of Spider-Man in the same movie.
Maguire has expressed his eagerness to reprise his role as Spider-Man once again if the opportunity arises.
Tom Holland starred as Spider-Man in three movies: Spider-Man: Homecoming, Spider-Man: Far From Home, and Spider-Man: No Way Home. There are talks about Sony Pictures making a fourth Spider-Man movie with Holland, but the actor has mentioned the possibility of stepping back in the future.
Holland expressed, "There's a part of me that wants to leave on a high note and pass on the torch to the next fortunate individual who will take on this iconic role."
