Mattson Tomlin Says His Tobey Maguire Spider-Man 4 Pitch Hasn't Been Rejected Yet

The Batman co-writer describes slow, politically complicated progress and points to Sony’s control of Spider-Man as the key hurdle to any revival.

Overview

  • Tomlin told fans on X that there is nothing concrete to announce and that he "hasn't gotten a 'no' yet" on his idea for a Raimi-era follow-up.
  • His pitch centers on an older Peter Parker balancing heroism with life as a husband and father, a direction he has advocated since July.
  • No project has been greenlit, and reporting underscores that any decision rests with Sony, with rights and studio priorities complicating movement.
  • Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire have previously expressed openness to revisiting the character, but neither is attached to a new film.
  • Outlets note industry speculation about coordination with broader Marvel plans, but any potential tie-ins remain unconfirmed as Sony advances Tom Holland’s next film for 2026.
