Seeing the trio of “Spider-Men” from different generations together for the first time was both nostalgic and forward-looking for Marvel fans, many of whom are now calling for Maguire’s version of Peter Parker/Spider-Man to return for one more film, directed by Sam Raimi.
The same social media user posted a graphic that beseeches Sony executives to create a film similar to Hugh Jackman’s final outing as Logan/Wolverine in the X-Men saga:
Make a Logan-style Spider-Man movie with Maguire. Don’t tie in with any cinematic universe what-so-ever [sic: whatsoever]. Just do a rough, beautiful, emotional tale about an older Spidey. Have Sam Raimi direct. Give him full control. Watch the box office explode.
The #MakeRaimiSpiderMan4 hashtag has exploded, with numerous fan accounts like Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst Web sharing their thoughts about a fourth movie:
In 2017, Kirsten Dunst wanted ‘Spider-Man 4’:
I wanted to be in that movie so badly. I loved it, and I wish we could have made a fourth.
If they green light Spider-Man 4 starring Tobey Maguire and The Amazing Spider-Man 3 starring Andrew Garfield I’ll probably cry tears of joy #MakeRaimiSpiderMan4 #SpiderManNoWayHome
Fans online, however, are not deterred by the lack of confirmation and are continuing their quest to make #MakeSamRaimiSpiderMan4 a reality by trending on social.
Joining Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) and Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019), the official description of Spider-Man: No Way Home reads:
For the first time in the cinematic history of Spider-Man, our friendly neighborhood hero is unmasked and no longer able to separate his normal life from the high-stakes of being a Super Hero. When he asks for help from Doctor Strange the stakes become even more dangerous, forcing him to discover what it truly means to be Spider-Man.
