Sam Raimi also spoke about what happened for Spider-Man 4 never happened with Tobey Maguire. After that cancellation, Sony Pictures Entertainment took up the Spider-Man mythology with Andrew Garfield and its amazing reboot. This is what the filmmaker remembered:
“We had a script for ‘Spider-Man 4’ many years ago and were actively working on pre-production with Tobey Maguire. However, they gave me a deadline and I didn’t want to do something that was, at the very least, great. I thought I had compromised a bit on the third installment of the trilogy and wanted to return the favor to the audience with a fourth movie that featured the best Spider-Man of all time. I couldn’t put together the script with the timer activated. Because of that, I told the studio to go ahead with the alternative story they had planned. I didn’t want to disappoint the fans.”
