He’s not precisely a family title (at the least, not but), however Mattson Tomlin is the co-writer for The Batman: Half II, the extremely anticipated sequel to Matt Reeves’ The Batman. Regardless that he’s a DC man, Tomlin not too long ago claimed on X that he’s attempting to put in writing a fourth movie within the Sam Raimi Spider-Man universe, the place Peter Parker is attempting to stability life as a superhero with elevating a household with Mary Jane. Contemplating the response from followers and even Kirsten Dunst herself, I feel that is one movie that Sony must put money into, reasonably than giving us one other Spidey villain film like Morbius or Kraven the Hunter.
If Tomlin had his approach, this movie (tentatively titled Spider-Man 4) can be directed by Sam Raimi and reunite Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst on the massive display screen. The film’s plot would take a web page out of Throughout the Spider-Verse and have a married Peter Parker elevating a child with Mary Jane Watson. However he’s nonetheless the wonderful Spider-Man, so he should maintain the town protected from supervillains whereas discovering time to vary the occasional diaper.
Crack That Thwip
To this point, this film is only a pipe dream of Mattson Tomlin, however he’s attempting exhausting (each on social media and behind the scenes) to make Spider-Man 4 a actuality. And, spurred on by Maguire suiting up once more in Spider-Man: No Manner Dwelling, there’s a rising variety of followers demanding to see this movie turn out to be a actuality. And the percentages of that occuring aren’t as loopy as you would possibly suppose due to the high-profile folks behind the unique Raimi films who assist this concept.
For instance, Kirsten Dunst not too long ago appeared on The Supes Present and was requested if she’d prefer to reprise her function as Mary Jane Watson for a fourth Spider-Man film. She stated that not solely would she need to return however that she would need to discover a movie the place Mary Jane and Peter Parker are elevating kids collectively. That appears believable sufficient (Maguire’s character confirmed in No Manner Dwelling that he and MJ are nonetheless collectively), and it’s completely in keeping with the movie that Mattson Tomlin is so feverishly pitching.
He’s One thing of a Fanboy Himself
As for authentic Spidey star Tobey Maguire, he admitted after Spider-Man: No Manner Dwelling that he had a lot enjoyable with this character and with these creators that he’d be completely satisfied simply to hang around with them in any circumstance. Relating to the potential of suiting up once more for Spider-Man 4, Maguire gave an enthusiastic “sure” and gave the form of reply followers love to listen to. “Why wouldn’t I need to try this?”
Unsurprisingly, no person from the unique Spider-Man movies appears fairly so all for making a fourth movie as director Sam Raimi. After Physician Unusual and the Multiverse of Insanity, he stated, “I like Tobey,” and “I like Kirsten Dunst,” and the thought of working with them once more on one other Spidey image “sounds lovely.”
He made it sound just like the chief obstacle on the time was that he didn’t “actually have a narrative or a plan,” so I can solely think about he’d leap (or ought to that be webswing?) at Mattson Tomlin’s thrilling pitch, one whose core concept (Peter Parker as Household-Man) is already being championed by Dunst.
Talking as a fan, this actually does look like a no brainer: the Maguire Spider-Man films are nonetheless fashionable with a number of generations of followers, and his prolonged cameo was arguably the perfect factor about No Manner Dwelling. Plus, audiences liked seeing Peter B. Parker as a father determine in Throughout the Spider-Verse, so we all know the core idea of Tomlin’s pitch resonates with followers. And Tomlinson is being trusted by James Gunn to assist write essentially the most anticipated DC film since Superman, so I can solely think about Sony would leap on the likelihood for him to put in writing a blockbuster Marvel film.
Does No matter a Spider-Fan Can
It’s straightforward to be cynical about Spider-Man 4’s possibilities, however bear in mind: there’s no time like the current to go on social media and inform the world how a lot you need to see this film. Each Sony and Disney may use a success Marvel film proper now, and a military of vocal followers could also be what it takes for them to tug out the director’s chair for Sam Raimi. Bear in mind: if you happen to don’t communicate now, you’ll have to carry your peace when the subsequent “Spider-Man” film finally ends up being an origin movie for Huge Wheel!
