Spider-Man: No Way Home was an instant fan favorite after bringing back characters such as Doc Ock(Alfred Molina), Green Goblin(Willem Dafoe), Electro(Jamie Foxx), Sandman(Thomas Hayden Church), Lizard(Rhys Ifans), and most importantly, Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man from their respective universes.
Sam Raimi, the director of the first Spider-Man Trilogy, has spoken out on how he loved this movie and the representation of the characters he helped bring to the big screen multiple times, and in an interview with the Los Angles Times, he revealed why he probably wouldn’t direct Spider-Man 4, with Tom Holland or/and Tobey Maguire.

“One of the Marvel directors I admire very much is Jon Watts. I loved ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’, I thought that was just one of the greatest movies I’ve ever seen.”

Sam Raimi Loves Tom Holland As Spider-Man
“It’s very exciting to see how Marvel has streamlined their operation, It’s a wonderful place to work. There was nothing like that to help you as a filmmaker when productions were all one-offs, before there was a company that simply saw to the integrity of the characters.I loved No Way Home. I thought it was a complete audience thrill ride. The crowd I was with were ooh-ing and ahh-ing, and it had a great heart to it. It was great seeing my old friends again. I love Spider-Man. And I love Tom Holland in the role. [But] if I made a Spider-Man movie, it would probably have to be with Tobey or he’d break my neck.”

Sam Raimi Doesn’t Have Any Plans To Make Spider-Man 4 With Tobey Maguire
“I currently don’t have any plans to make Spider-Man 4. And they’re so successful with the new Spider-Man series that I don’t know if that’s gonna happen or not. I haven’t pursued that.”
