SPIDER-MAN Fans Now Campaign To #MakeRaimiSpiderMan4 In Wake Of #MakeTASM3 Trending Worldwide SPIDER-MAN Fans Now Campaign To #MakeRaimiSpiderMan4 In Wake Of #MakeTASM3 Trending Worldwide

Following the release of Spider-Man: No Way Home, a very vocal fanbase has campaigned for Sony to develop The Amazing Spider-Man 3. Now, they also want Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 4 to become a reality...

WARNING: SPOILERS for Spider-Man: No Way Home follow from this point on!

Spider-Man: No Way Home brought back Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield as their respective versions of Peter Parker, and fans have since made it very clear that they want to see more of them both.

#MakeTASM3 has trended on social media multiple times in recent weeks, but a new campaign now looks set to follow: #Make RaimiSpiderMan4. 2007's Spider-Man 3 was a disappointment, but a Spider-Man 4 (with Sam Raimi back at the helm) was set to be released in 2011. The Vulture would have been the lead villain, with Black Cat also factoring into the story somehow. 

It didn't happen for a multitude of reasons, leading to a reboot arriving in 2012 in the form of The Amazing Spider-Man. That series received a similarly abrupt ending after the sequel underperformed, with plans for a third and fourth movie, along with a Sinister Six spinoff, scrapped. 

These hashtag campaigns are clearly inspired by the #ReleaseTheSnyderCut movement, which obviously paid off in a big way for Zack Snyder's Justice League. However, it's hard to say whether these fans actually recall that plans for The Amazing Spider-Man 3 were abysmal, with Spider-Man 4 not sounding much better (Felicia Hardy was supposedly set to suit up as "Vulturess").

We're optimistic about seeing more of Maguire and Garfield as their respective Spider-Men, but the odds of that happening in Spider-Man 4 and The Amazing Spider-Man 3 are hard to predict.

Guessing this was started by Henry Jackson. He probably wonders where he's gone. He needs him.

Wouldn't mind it. Saw someone throw around the idea of Sophia Lillis as Mayday Parker, and think that would be a pretty cool angle to focus on her as the next Spider-hero.

Also, if this means a Spider-Man movie every year with a different Spider-Man in the lead, then I'm all for it

''fans'' need to calm down. appreciate what you got. not everything needs to be endlessly milked and exploited until its not special anymore.

@rebellion - The problem is that on occasion the studios back down and give in. RE: #releasethesnydercut. Now "fans" will campaign for anything they remotely find passingly interesting, whether or not, it deserves to be made/released.

With streaming, we're also in a different world, in regards to entertainment. Something like Joss Whedon's Firefly/Serenity would probably have found success(passed a cult one) on a streaming platform and streamers are looking for the next big hit to push them ahead of the competitors.

@rebellion - 100% Agreed - Fans going overboard as usual and bogus YouTube leak channels going to create so many fake rumours.

Except the studio didn't give in. AT&T came in and overrode the decision, and when it failed they immediately bailed leaving WB holding the bag.

@Reeds2Much - The point is that it still happened through persistence of the audience, regardless of who greenlit it. It wouldn't have happened with just Snyder wanting it. There was nothing in it for them to give him what he wanted until HBOMax debuted. Then the opportunity to deliver for a built-in audience and future subscribers presented itself. Had the fans not made their voices heard then it wouldn't have happened.

Nevertheless, that's the reason we will still have #fancampaigns to push studios to give us this, give us that. That's the lesson that fans got from The Snyder Cut saga.

Fan campaigns do work on more occasions than just The Synder Cut, as it proves there is an audience for the IP: Firefly > Serenity. Star Trek. Roswell. Chuck. La Femme Nikita.

Man, as much as I wanted to see this 10-15 years ago, the time has passed and I highly doubt Raimi or Tobey are interested in doing this at all. The fans gotta give all these campaigns a rest. You can’t have everything you want. Just be happy with what we get. Also, do people forget that Sony is gonna be making these movies? Like yeah, I’d love to see TASM3 but not if Sony will make it just as shitty as TASM2. I wanna see more of Andrew’s Spidey but the rest of the mythology of that universe is so [frick]in lame.

I feel like this is Sony's back plan. If Tom Holland is serious about not wanting to come back to the role, then they can say "Nice knowing ya" and make ASM3 or Spider-Man 4.

*Fans become deluded by their own supposed power

I love those classics but the time has passed. It would almost be milking at this point.

I'd watch it, but appreciate that his story is kind of complete now.

I'd be in for a spider-girl movie with Mayday Parker though, then have Tobey's Spiderman as a supporting character.

That should also please those campaigning against a gender bias.

With tasm3 at the very least I could see it as a way to give everyone closure, but this just feels wrong. People need to come to terms with franchises ending sometimes, this kind of stuff I'd expect from greedy execs milking the spider-man brand.

Welp, Raimi is probably taking the helm of Doctor Strange for good and you can already see smidges of his style in the little footage we've seen, so far seems to fit right in with that character/franchise.

As for TASM, well that was already rejected once.

UniqNo - 1/5/2022, 12:03 PM
@WakandanQueen - Hoping that Raimi is going to be a mainstay to the MCU like the Russo's and now Jon Watts.

@WakandanQueen - considering people rumor like the DS story is having issues only time will tell once it is released as to Raimi's longevity.

I'd be more than down for it (even though Tobey's looking pretty up there with age; maybe a Spider-Man/Spider-Girl movie instead?) but you know what would make a better hashtag?

@Superspecialawesomeguy - Haha, as much as Arad run the franchise into the ground, he's also to thank for things getting this far.

I did like the little 'thank you' they did for him in the credits for NWH....but yeah...keep him at a distance please.. 😅

@Superspecialawesomeguy - Why would they fire the guy that keeps making them billions? yeah, Disney should fire Kevin Feige too.
