In a move reminiscent of the successful campaign for the Snyder Cut, fans are campaigning with Sony to relaunch Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 4 many years after it was dropped. With the film Spider-Man (2002), Sam Raimi became the first director to bring the famous web weaver to the big screen. He then created a trilogy centered on the character embodied by Tobey Maguire, however, there was a time when the saga was not intended to be a trilogy. In 2007, the director had started to develop a Spider-Man 4, played by Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst (in the role of MJ Watson). Sam Raimi never recovered from the abandonment of this fourth opus.
Spider-Man 4 reportedly introduced several famous comic book characters, including the Vulture and Felicia Hardy, aka Black Cat. John Malkovich and Anne Hathaway were in talks for the roles, a 2011 release date was set as several writers dabbled in writing the script. However, Sony then announced that Spider-Man 4 was aborted and that the studio would relaunch the character in 2012 with The Amazing Spider-Man, worn by Andrew Garfield.
Now that Spider-Man: No Way Home revived interest in the trilogy of Sam raimi, the fans ask Sony to make the film. In the same way that they campaigned by posting frequently #ReleaseTheSnyderCut on social media to get Warner to release the director’s version Zack Snyder (Justice League), many started to postr # MakeRaimiSpiderMan4. This new effort is intended to Sony, it remains to be seen if the studio got wind of it.
