Sam Raimi Explains Why He Won't Direct Tom Holland's Spider-Man 4

In Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Sam Raimi returns to the Marvel universe, but he won't be tackling Spider-Man again - at least not without Tobey Maguire. Starting with Spider-Man in 2002, Raimi and Maguire collaborated on Sony's initial Spider-Man trilogy, reuniting for Spider-Man 2 in 2004 and Spider-Man 3 in 2007. A Spider-Man 4 was cancelled before Sony rebooted with Andrew Garfield replacing Maguire as the younger Peter Parker. It was originally scheduled for May 2011 with Maguire and Raimi returning. The Raimi-verse appeared to be coming to an end.

However, the Multiverse then appeared.In Sony and Marvel Studios' crossover film Spider-Man: No Way Home, Maguire swung over the Spider-Verse and into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, accompanied by Raimi-verse villains Green Goblin (Willem Dafoe), Doctor Octopus (Alfred Molina), and Sandman (Thomas Haden Church).

With its blockbuster box revenue, the threequel brought together three generations of Spider-Men, bringing together Maguire and Garfield's variant Peter Parkers with Tom Holland's MCU Spider-Man, and reignited fan interest in the cancelled Spider-Man 4 and The Amazing Spider-Man 3. So far, Sony has only stated that it is actively developing a Spider-Man: No Way Home sequel for Disney's Marvel Studios, with Holland starring and Kevin Feige producing.Will Raimi return to the wall-crawler on Holland's untitled Spider-Man 4? With Jon Watts, the director of Spider-Man: Homecoming and Spider-Man: Far From Home, possibly exiting the franchise after No Way Home, will Raimi revisit the wall-crawler on Holland's untitled Spider

Raimi told The Los Angeles Times, "I love Spider-Man." "I like Tom Holland in the role, but if I directed a Spider-Man film, I'd have to cast Tobey Maguire or he'd break my neck."

In addition, the director of Doctor Strange 2 stated that ""I liked No Way Home," he said, describing the mega-hit as "a whole audience thrill ride." The audience was oohing and ahhing, and it had a wonderful heart to it. It was wonderful to reconnect with old friends."

It was wonderful to reconnect with old friends."

Raimi had stated in a recent interview that he "currently [doesn't] have any intentions" to return with Maguire on a resurrected Spider-Man 4, noting, "[Sony's] so successful with the new Spider-Man series that I don't know if that's going to happen or not." That is something I haven't pursued."

Jessica Jones Highlights Sexist Treatment Of Female Marvel Heroes

Image
Jessica Jones, one of Marvel's most powerful female characters, considers how poorly female superheroes are treated in the society she inhabits. Jessica Jones is not typically the first female superhero that comes to mind. She isn't as eye-catching as Captain Marvel or She-Hulk. With the exception of her time as Jewel, Jess prefers a leather jacket and a cup of coffee than the conventional cape and tights. Jessica Jones offers a perceptive commentary on the present condition of vigilantism and what it means to be a woman in that milieu in Marvel's The Variants. Ten years have passed since Jones was under Kilgrave's, a.k.a. the Purple Man, control when The Variants takes place. Jessica is prepared to retire from crimefighting now that she is married to Luke Cage and has a daughter. The first victim of Kilgrave, Maria Snyder, who is accused of killing her family, makes an attempt to deny responsibility in court. Unfortunately, Jessica is the only one who has an understand

Game of Thrones actress Lena Headey is being sued for $1.5 million by her former UK agency, Troika, for a variety of unpaid commission fees. These costs cover Thor: Love and Thunder, a movie in which Headey was cast but whose producers ultimately decided to delete her scenes. According to Troika, now known as YMU, Headey expressly owes them at least $500,000 for the movie Love and Thunder. Variety has revealed that she did indeed play a part in the original script written by director Taika Waititi, despite the fact that her inclusion in the Marvel Studios summer blockbuster was never promoted or formally announced. That position's specifics are still unknown. Numerous A-List actors were eliminated from Thor 4's final edit, including Headey's role.

Marvel Star Will Poulter Says Superhero Body Transformations Are 'Unhealthy' and 'Unrealistic'

Image
Source: Twitter Will Poulter, one of the MCU's newest actors, has stated that getting a superhuman physical change without a studio paying for your meals and training is "unhealthy" and "unrealistic." In a recent interview with The Independent, he said, "It's difficult to talk about it because with Marvel it's all secret squirrel." "However, the most important thing is that your mental and physical wellness come first, with aesthetic aspirations coming second." If you don't have the financial backing of a studio to pay for your meals and training, you'll wind up advocating something unhealthy and unrealistic.In that regard, I'm in a really fortunate position, and I wouldn't advise someone to prepare for that job the way I did." What is this job that Poulter is referring to? His role as Adam Warlock, a genetically engineered superhuman in the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 film, which will be released next year. La
