He let on this during an audience withDeadline , where he said,“I would love to see what kind of animated Spider - Man movie we ’d get from Sam Raimi so if he view this , ‘ Call me Sam ! ' "

While this may be a long shot at this point , as Raimi has act on from the superhero cosmos and isnext directingKingkiller Chronicles , this is an exciting possibility to consider . Raimi has never orchestrate an animated movie before , so it would be a hazard for him to spread his wings as a creator . That articulate , the   possibilities of animation and the multi - verse enter inSpider - Verseopens up the door for Raimi to have the ability to actually do theSpider - Man 4he always envisioned .

There ’s been several contingent onSpider - Man 4that have surfaced over the twelvemonth , including who Raimi may have cast for certain part .

Raimi also confirmed in the past thatAnne Hathaway try out for Felicia Hardyaka Black Cat , with concept artwork bug the amorous kinship between her and Peter . Since the movie never happened , Spider - Man 4is a major what - if story that many fans would care to see , and since it would just ask interpreter study from the cast , it ’s feasible that an animatedSpider - Man 4set within theSpider - Verseworld could happen . The chances of this materializing may be slim , as Raimi could decide to do a different story in all if he did want to return , but hopefully Raimi does give Arad a call and something can chance .
