At a June 5 press event director Sam Raimi said he’s waiting to see a script before deciding whether to direct the fourth Spidey film. Writer James Vanderbilt, who penned The Rundown, is working on it. Raimi said he expects it to be done in a few months.
As far as potential recasts for Peter Parker or Mary Jane Watson, Raimi said he “couldn’t imagine” doing it. With Tobey Maguire rumored to be moving on, it’s not unlike before he was cast. Every young actor in Hollywood seems to pop up in a daily rumor as the next web head.
Recasts in midstream are usually the quickest way to ruin a franchise (see Batman) so I hope they can work something out.
