Sam Raimi Addressed ‘Secret Wars’ Rumors Once Again, and It’s Still Not Happening

Sam Raimi found great success with the ‘Spider-Man’ film trilogy, each installment grossing over $800 million worldwide. However, plans for further sequels were halted due to script issues. Disappointed with ‘Spider-Man 3,’ Raimi aimed to redeem the franchise with ‘Spider-Man 4,’ which unfortunately never came to fruition. In 2022, he expressed regret about not ending the series on a high note.

Despite this, Raimi’s involvement with Spider-Man continued as he and Marc Webb served as creative consultants for Marvel Studios’ ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home,’ directed by Jon Watts. Recently, rumors have circulated about Raimi directing ‘Avengers: Secret Wars,’ the highly anticipated installment in the ‘Avengers’ franchise.

Recently, Raimi stated his desire to direct the final Phase 6 movie, but unfortunately, the studio hasn’t approached him yet.

I love 90% of the Marvel heroes that I’ve read in the great Stan Lee Marvel Universe comic books. I would love to work with Marvel again. They haven’t reasonably asked me to. I hope they had a good experience with me. They haven’t asked me yet. I hope they do.

Now, following more rumors about both ‘Spider-Man 4’ and ‘Secret Wars,’ Raimi addressed fans again in his interview with The Wrap, stating that it’s still not happening.

I don’t have any plans. But I would love it!

Raimi’s latest MCU venture was ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,’ and aside from superhero films, we’re anticipating his horror-thriller ‘Don’t Move,’ set to release in 2024, which he produced.
