The Tobey Maguire-led Spider-Man 4 is just a rumor of the past. According to director Sam Raimi, his version of Spider-Man has come to a halt. While talking to Screen Rant, he said that it just wouldn’t feel right to continue the storyline. He further expressed that Spider-Man has been passed from creator to creator over the years, and he believes it’s time for the current storytellers to continue moving forward without him. Maguire’s Spider-Man was last seen alongside Andrew Garfield and Tom Holland’s version of the web-slinging hero in Spider-Man: No Way Home.
“Stan Lee’s great character, that a bullpen of writers in New York at Marvel had come up with stories for , he created the character, but so many people contributed, so many artists, that for a brief time I was handed the torch to carry on after 40 years of Spider-Man comics,” Raimi said. “And then after my three movies, I handed the torch off to someone else. And I think they’ve got to keep running with the storyline and the audience that is now following the torchbearer.”

Despite Raimi throwing in the towel, writer Mattson Tomlin shared in the past that he’s been trying to get a Maguire-led Spider-Man 4 made, and the idea hadn’t been fully shut down yet. The storyline reportedly focused on Peter Parker juggling superhero life with being a dad, which excited many fans.
Tom Holland’s Spider-Man is still in continuation with Spider-Man: Brand New Day, set to release this summer.
