Mattson Tomlin, co-writer of Matt Reeves' Batman films, has expressed his ongoing interest in writing a Spider-Man 4, featuring Tobey Maguire reprising his role as the iconic web-slinger. Tomlin's vision includes exploring Peter Parker's life as a husband and father alongside Mary Jane Watson, played by Kirsten Dunst. He shared an update on the potential film, stating he hasn't received a definitive "no" from studios yet. With the success of the recent films, including Spider-Man: No Way Home, which grossed nearly $2 billion globally, there's growing intrigue surrounding the possibility of revisiting Maguire's Spider-Man in a new narrative. However, Tomlin cautions that Hollywood's pace is slow and that any developments will take time.

Will Tobey Maguire return for Spider-Man 4?

While there has been no official confirmation regarding Tobey Maguire's return for Spider-Man 4, the co-writer has not been met with a rejection yet, indicating that discussions are ongoing.

Spider-Man, created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, first appeared in Amazing Fantasy #15 in 1962 and has become one of Marvel's most beloved heroes. Tobey Maguire was the first actor to portray Spider-Man in a live-action film series directed by Sam Raimi, which launched in 2002. This trilogy set the stage for the superhero genre's growth and paved the way for future Spider-Man adaptations, including the current Spider-Man series featuring Tom Holland. The character's multiverse storyline allows for different iterations of Spider-Man to coexist, making the prospect of Maguire's return even more exciting for fans.
