I'd like to see what he can do with MCU spidey. Granted i love all the Tobey films better than Hollands films so im a bit bias.
Sam Raimi in Contention to Direct MCU's ‘Spider-Man 4' - World of reel
- Thread starter PimentaGui
- Start date
Well, I'd rather have him direct than a more generic marvel factory director. Even if MoM was mid.
I'm just waiting for a Holland Spiderman movie to feel like a spiderman movie. Where he's almost entirely independent struggling with normal spiderman problems. Spiderman 2 and Spiderman PS4 handled peter having a mentor figure better than any of the holland movies.

MoM made almost $1b without China. He could absolutely do something original instead of another Marvel movie if he wanted to.
(But again, this is likely nonsense. The source is awful.)
Not sure of the source on this but either way I'm good. I like the Raimi movies well enough but I can do without the nostalgia act.
They had a decent writer for MoM. Michael Waldron created Loki and wrote the pilot episode. So he's at the very least decent, given that he played an important role in one of the best projects the MCU has ever put out.
I don't believe this rumor but really hope it's true.
Jon watts movies were so goddamn ugly and visually boring. At least Raimi can improve in those areas

I don't want it, not under Disney. SM1 and 2 might as well have been made on a different planet when you look at MCU's spiderman films. MoM had some flair but nothing else going for it, especially since it ignored the entirety of Wandavision outright. Not Raimi's fault but I want a Sam Raimi film out of him, not a Disney movie by Sam Raimi.
I've heard mostly negative things about MoM, including in this thread. I thought it was widely disliked.
How did it ignore wandavision when it carried on her story of grief and trying to find her kids?
I didn't know people disliked Strange 2. I thought it was a great time and one of the few movies from that "Phase" that I actually liked. I'm certainly interested in Raimi directing another MCU movie.
Sam Raimi did a great job with Doctor Strange, he still got it. Would be fantastic to have him on a new Spiderman!
it was a doctor strange movie that made almost a billion dollars, a lot of people definitely liked it
in online spaces not so much maybe
I would be down for that. Dr strange 2 was one of the most interesting marvel movies in years and I've always dug his style
Haha yeah, I was joking. Garfield is a much stronger actor than Maguire overall.
Unfortunately his Spider-Man movies are some of the worst (superhero) movies ever made.
Same, I really enjoyed it. I went in with low expectations, but it was the first MCU film in a while to me that felt... energetic, like it wasn't just going through the motions. I'm definitely up for more Raimi, as well
No offense, but you vastly overestimate how much a director can change once the cement is dry on certain aspects of a film in these director-rescue situations. Especially with an unmoving deadline for picture lock. Raimi was fortunately still able to exercise his usual flourish in execution, but executing is all you really have time for in these situations.
The secret sauce to his action scenes are that he actually has artists storyboard them. Every shot meticulously crafted and deliberate. Something lost in the age of infinite money and CG budgets that allow endless fiddling and muddies the result.
I would have him in a heartbeat if he could bring that Spider-Man 2 energy into Tom's fight scenes.
How I wish we were in this timeline.
I mean, yeah.
Pretending that Homecoming isn't a good movie is pretty crazy.
If you say so, I've made my thoughts clear on Homecoming. I'll not rehash here.
I don't think I'm overestimating here.
MoM is a Raimi-as-Fuck film. If the idea that he was rescuing the movie at the last minute without the ability to make it his own was true, I don't believe he would have been able to "exercise his usual flourish" at all. The film woild have felt a lot more visually generic.
Instead, it's pure Raimi. For better and worse.
Oh gotchu, yeah, it's criminal that they shooed Raimi out the door just to create those movies and keep the rights to the IP.
Ah well.
Well, the second one. No doubt about that. But first isn't anywhere close to being that bad.
Yes, but a locked script is a locked script. There might be some pickups and reshoots here and there, but if the assets are done, the digital sets complete, and the shooting schedule is barreling closer, there isn't really room for detours here. You're talking about the difference between furnishing a home which can absolutely reflect someone's unique flavor, vs taking part in the actual blueprint, building AND furnishing of said home. I've been on too many rescue productions where we do the best we can do with a fixed amount of tools and time and the reality is there's only so much you can change. The personal flourish in directing fortunately remains one of those things.
Doesn't matter to me. I've loved all 3 Home movies and loved Dr Strange 2, could've had Watts come back and I'd be fine.
A… Multiverse of Madness??
I'm not interested tho the dr. Strange movie was fine as an one of horror-ish movie. But I don't want that from Spider-Man

I don't think RamI's direction is the problem here. Or did you think he wrote it too?
MoM is the only recent MCU film to really feel like it had its own soul or personality, which I'm like 90% certain is become Raimi was at the helm. I sorta get if it didn't do it for you, though some of the often cited reasons baffle me, but it's wild not wanting him back for more comic book stuff.
I don't want Raimi back on Spider-Man (even if they did another with Maguire/Dunst, the time has passed), and I don't want him doing Avengers or any other big tentpole movie. If he's doing more Marvel stuff let him keep the momentum up with Strange and let him craft a sequel from the ground-up. More weirdness, more horror-adjacent stuff, less multiverse, less cameos.
Raimi's directing for DS2 was sublime. However, you can't direct bad writing and turn it into good writing.
needs a much better writer for MJ than everyone who was responsible for SW in DS2. What a fucking despicable movie.
I don't think he'd be a good fit but I'd find it hard to call him directing the best version if Spider-Man a "waste."
Gross. His over the top, hamfisted filming style mixed with his blatant disrespect for his audience would remove any enthusiasm I might have had for spiderman 4. Hope this isn't true.
