The Batman writer is pushing to work on a Spider-Man 4 movie for Tobey Maguire

Spider-Man 3.

While the world keeps a close eye on Tom Holland's return as that loveable wall-crawling menace in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, talk is still swirling about bringing another Peter back that gave a hand and a web in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Ever since Tobey Maguire swung back into action as the original Spider-Man from the Sam Raimi trilogy, fans have been eager to see him crack his back one more time for his own fourth film, with his former co-star and the Mary Jane of that universe, Kirsten Dunst, even expressing her interest in telling a story of an older Spidey, as well. Now another creative force has shown their enthusiasm to give this proposed legacyquel legs with The Batman and The Batman: Part II writer, Mattson Tomlin, offering to get in on the action, as well.

Back in July, Tomlin openly stated on X that he'd be interested in bringing a fourth chapter for Maguire's webslinger to life. "Honestly right now my main interest in this respect would be to write a Spider-Man 4 where Tobey’s Spider-Man is juggling being a husband and a father," he explained. "Spider-Man as a father is where I gravitate towards given the last 8 films."
