Spider-Man” director Sam Raimi told Sci-Fi Wire that he’s waiting on a script for a fourth installment from writer James Vanderbilt (Zodiac, The Rundown) before deciding whether to helm it, though he’d like to.
“Right now James Vanderbilt is writing the script, and he’s working on it, and I’m excited to read it,” said Raimi. “I think it’s going to be done in a few months. I’m hoping it’s as great as our discussions were about it and hoping it feels right for me, because I love Spider-Man, and I’m hoping I’m well-enough rested to, like, really embrace it and hoping that Sony wants me at that time to direct it. So if all those things come together, I would love, love to do it. But this is a lot of unknowns about the future.”
Asked whether he’d recast the roles of Peter Parker or Mary Jane Watson, ho have each moved on to other projects, Raimi demurred. “Well, I hate to recast anybody in the picture,” he said.
In another interview with IESB, JK Simmons, who portrays J. Jonah Jameson in the “Spider-Man” films, told the site that he believes that Tobey Maguire would return for a fourth film. “I spoke to Tobey in, I guess it was February,” said Simmons. “And, y’know, he’s certainly amenable to doing some more and hopefully we’ll be able to get everybody back and make another good one.”
Simmons added that if Raimi were to return to the franchise, he would as well. “If he’s involved, hopefully directing or at least as a producer then I’m pretty confident that it would be something that I want to do. Plus they pay money.”
