In a shocking turn of events, director Sam Raimi has all but abandoned plans for a fourth installment in his Spider-Man trilogy. Despite having previously expressed interest in revisiting the web-slinger on multiple occasions, Raimi now views any attempts to revive his version of Peter Parker as "not right" and feels that he's been given a chance to pass the torch.
According to Raimi, after completing the original three movies, he handed over the reins to other filmmakers, allowing the storyline to evolve with new characters and audiences. While this decision is largely pragmatic, it suggests that Raimi has come to accept that his iteration of Spider-Man has reached its natural endpoint.
This news may be a disappointment for die-hard fans of Raimi's trilogy, who had been hoping to see their beloved web-slinger return in some form. However, the resurgence of Tobey Maguire as Spider-Man in "No Way Home" has already reinvigorated interest in the character, and it remains possible that another iteration could be explored in the future.
It's worth noting that Raimi still holds a certain affection for his past work on the franchise and its cast, but he seems to have come to terms with the fact that his chapter in Spider-Man history has closed. As the genre continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how this decision plays out and whether any future filmmakers attempt to revive Raimi's take on Peter Parker.

he had such a great run with Tobey Maguire back in the day, but i guess you can't hold onto nostalgia forever 
anyway it's cool that they passed the torch to someone else and let the story evolve with new characters...it's like how my old flip phone just couldn't compete with all the fancy smartphones now 
maybe this is a good thing for the franchise though, who knows what the future holds? 
meanwhile with Maguire coming back in "No Way Home" it's def possible that we'll see another iteration of Spidey pop up in the future but I think Raimi's outta here is legit 
I mean, Tobey Maguire's comeback in 'No Way Home' was super cool so fingers crossed that another filmmaker can bring a fresh take to the character 
The way Raimi says he's "passed the torch" makes me think he's not bitter about it at all, which is really admirable 
. the original trilogy was classic in its own right and i think it's time to let someone else bring their spin to peter parker. tobey maguire coming back as spider-man is actually kinda awesome though! 
about Sam Raimi's plans 4 a Spider-Man 4 
. But hey, at least Tobey Maguire's return in No Way Home is bringin back life 2 the character 
. I mean, Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy was like a big part of my childhood – who wouldn't want to see Spidey swing back onto the big screen? 
he had such a unique vision for the character and his trilogy is still one of my all-time faves 
but at the same time i get it, he handed over the reins to other ppl and let them run with it which is pretty cool actually 
it's gonna be interesting to see how this plays out tho... maybe some other filmmaker will come along and try to do raimi justice 
so like sam raimi was all set 2 make a 4th spider-man movie but now he dont wanna do it anymore 
hes lik "not right" and thinks its time 4 him 2 pass the torch 
i get it tho, u c these movies r a big part of ur life n stuff so its hard 2 let go 
so if he feels like his version of spider-man is done then idk why we'd keep flogging a dead horse? 
anyway, the fact that tobey maguire came back in no way home is def a silver lining
