But apparently, Sam Raimi might well be learning, because his own position on coming back to direct is tenuous at best. Check out what Raimi had to say in a quote from the boys at Movieweb:

“Right now James Vanderbilt is writing the script, and he’s working on it, and I’m excited to read it,” Raimi said. “I think it’s going to be done in a few months. I’m hoping it’s as great as our discussions were about it and hoping it feels right for me, because I love Spider-Man, and I’m hoping I’m well-enough rested to, like, really embrace it and hoping that Sony wants me at that time to direct it. So if all those things come together, I would love, love to do it. But this is a lot of unknowns about the future.”

This may not sound like a man in consideration, but phrases like “I’m waiting to read the script” and “this is a lot of unknowns about the future” speak volumes. There’s a really good chance Raimi is getting out of the Spider-Man game.

And frankly, I couldn’t be happier to hear it. With things like a horror-themed reality show in the works and some early word on a remake of The Evil Dead, Sam Raimi’s got vastly, VASTLY, better things to do with his time than flog a dead horse. And Spider-Man is definitely a dead horse.
