In hibernation for some time, the Spider-Man 4 project is finally taking shape. After the announcement of the start of filming, we learned another very reassuring piece of news, which will allow things to speed up around the return of Spidey.
Sam Raimi Confirmed as Director of Spider-Man 4?
Things Finally Seem to Be Accelerating for Spider-Man 4.In gestation for several months following various problems that The House of Ideas had to manage, the return of Tom Holland is looming on the horizon. Filming is scheduled for this fall, and the direction of the project has finally been entrusted to a director.
It was thought that Sam Raimi was going to direct the spider-man, as he did three times during the very first trilogy from 2022 to 2007. Talks with Kevin Feige lasted several months with the one who has already announced that he wants to direct Avengers: Secret Wars.A serious lead when you see the quality with which he brought the Sony superhero to the screen in the guise of Tobey Maguire, at the time.
A regular of the MCU at the controls
But the one who was at the head ofDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will ultimately not be the lucky one, since according to sources from The Hollywood Reporter, it is Destin Daniel Cretton, director of the film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, who is announced to take over the reins of the saga. Marvel has chosen to approach an MCU regular. We recall that he was already expected to direct Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, before leaving the project in 2023. Since then, the super villain has been forgotten following the ouster of his interpreter Jonathan Majors. In the meantime, Cretton has moved on to the series Wonder-Woman for Disney+ (which we still have no news about) and is probably working on a Shang-Chi 2.The Marvel boss has not forgotten his collaborator to whom he gives a new role to continue an MCU still wavering, despite the announced success of Deadpool & Wolverine. To accompany Destin Daniel Cretton, Chris McKenna and Eric Sommers, already screenwriters of the last three parts of the Spider-Man saga, are back to write this fourth opus. Tom Holland should be back in the shoes of a forgotten Spidey of all.
As for the release of the film, renowned Hollywood insider Daniel Richtman has predicted a release “in July 2026, between Doomsday and Secret Wars”, in his own words.
