It seems Sam Raimi has finally closed the book on his Spider-Man trilogy, signaling that he's ready to let the character move on. The director, who helmed the iconic 2002 film "Spider-Man," had previously expressed interest in revisiting Peter Parker for a fourth installment, but Sony's decision to reboot the franchise put those plans on hold.
In recent years, Raimi has shown openness to revisiting his beloved character, and some fans may have held out hope that he would eventually return to the web-slinger. However, during a promotional interview for his latest film "Send Help," Raimi stated that he feels his characters have moved on to other stories, and it wouldn't be right for him to revive his version of Spider-Man.
According to Raimi, his time with Peter Parker was like a comic book run – great while it lasted, but temporary. He acknowledged the responsibility of being entrusted with the character after 40 years of comics and expressed confidence that Marvel Studios will continue to run with the storyline, keeping in mind the audience that has followed Tom Holland's Spider-Man.
While Raimi's comments may bring closure to fans who had hoped for a revival, it's unlikely that Tom Holland's tenure as Spidey is done just yet. The success of "Spider-Man: No Way Home" has reassured audiences that Maguire's character will continue to be relevant, paving the way for potential future installments.
As Raimi himself puts it, just because one torchbearer passes on doesn't mean another won't eventually take the reins. While it seems his time with Spider-Man is indeed coming to a close, there's always a chance that Marvel may decide to revisit Maguire's version of Peter Parker in the future.

. He did an amazing job bringing Peter Parker to life 20 years ago and it was awesome to see him be open about feeling his story had run its course 
. I love that he acknowledged the responsibility of taking over a character after 40 years of comics 
. It's clear he respects Tom Holland's time as Spidey too 
, even if he might not be the one swinging through NYC anymore. But let's be real, Marvel's got some amazing talent and I wouldn't put it past them to bring back Maguire's version in a different capacity 
... maybe a nostalgic cameo or a spin-off? That would be awesome! 
i love how he compares his time with peter parker to a comic book run, it's like he's saying they had their moment and now it's time for someone else to shine 
and honestly tom holland has been killing it as spidey 
so even though sam raimi is done, there's still hope that maguire will make another comeback in the future 
But I guess it makes sense - the character has come a long way since 2002 and Tom Holland's taken over. It's cool that Raimi's okay with passing the torch to Marvel Studios, though. They've got this! 
. don't get me wrong, raimi's trilogy was iconic and all, but tom holland's done some amazing work with the character too... i'm not ready to say goodbye to spidey just yet 
.
I'm kinda sad to hear Sam Raimi is closing this chapter on Spider-Man, but at the same time, it's awesome that he's being honest about when it's time to move on 
He was a big part of making those films so special and iconic 
. Now it's cool to see Tom Holland keeping the torch lit for Peter Parker 
... raimi's right tho, his time with peter parker was a great run but sometimes you gotta let the torchbearer pass on 
... can't wait to see what marvel studios comes up with next though 
Raimi says he's closed the book, but we all know what happens next... 
[Spider-Man swings away with a "See you later!" wink]
One torchbearer passes on, another takes the reins... 
. But at the same time, Tom Holland's Spider-Man is still going strong 
sam raimi's spider-man trilogy was iconic 
anyway, i'm keeping my fingers crossed that marvel will revisit maguire's spidey in the future 
.
. I mean, 40 years of comics is a big deal, and he was right to acknowledge that responsibility 
.
I'm so sad!! 
Sam Raimi is really done with the Spidey franchise? Like, what?!?! I know he said it was time for his characters to move on, but a part of me will always think that Peter Parker can be revived in some way... like, maybe Marvel can just bring back MJ or Ned and have them carry on Tom Holland's legacy 
That would be EPIC!!! 
. But at the same time, I think Marvel Studios is doing a great job of carrying on the story with Tom Holland - he's really brought his own spin to the role
