COMICS: Marvel Sends Speculation Into Overdrive With Possible SPIDER-MAN 4 Adaptation Tease

Is Marvel planning a comic book adaptation of Sam Raimi's never-filmed Spider-Man 4 movie? That's the prevailing theory after a couple of teaser images from the publisher and artist Alex Ross. Take a look.

Last night, the Marvel Entertainment Twitter account sent out an image of a spider spinning a web in the shape of the number 4, and it sent speculation into overdrive.

The prevailing theories were that this was either a tease for a new book featuring Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four, or a comic adaptation of Sam Raimi's never-filmed script for Spider-Man 4.

The former seemed more likely, until acclaimed artist Alex Ross followed up with a now deleted Tweet of Spidey swinging through the city with MJ along with the caption #SpiderMan4.





Raimi's fourth Spider-Man movie, which would have featured The Vulture as the main villain, came very close to happening before Sony ultimately decided to reboot the franchise with The Amazing Spider-Man. Fans have been hoping to see a comic book adaptation for years now, and they may be about to get their wish.

There are other possibilities, of course, but hopefully Marvel gives us a little more to go on at some point today.

If they are adapting the script into a comics, I hope we eventually get Bryan Singer's X Men 3. The version that included
Keanu Reeves as Gambit
Sygourney Weaver as Emma Frost
The Hellfire Club
Mutant Frafficing
A phoenix that wasn't a split personality

@dracula - This is actually a great idea. They should adapt all the failed films or sequel for movies that never came to fruition. Would like to see the Snyder cut of JL, Fan4stic, George Miller's justice league, etc.

@noahthegrand - Or just Nic Cage as everybody, in comics you can pull it out.

Oh I assumed it had to do with the F4 but didn't know about Ross' tweet. Shiiiiiiiit maybe it is happening.

@Spock0Clock - glad he's doing anything other than covers again. I know he had some books come out recently but another novel drawn by him? I don't care what it's about I'm buying it

@Saga - I don't follow the industry at all, so I don't know why he left DC, but his Marvel stuff just doesn't have the same feel to it...

@Spock0Clock - spidey carrying MJ in the kimono is from a prior movie... why do we think this ties to 4?

@JonC - because the caption was #SpiderMan4

If anyone asks DC to adapt Snyder's JL into comicbook form after this i will throw up in my mouth

@Saga - DC should adapt Snyder’s JL into comic book form.

Can we really continue the Raimi saga without the almighty Sam Raimi?

@RageDriver2401 - Maybe they're using his unused script?
JonC
JonC - 6/17/2019, 8:46 AM
@RageDriver2401 - why can't he direct a movie for the MCU?

Those first two films are great. Spidey 2 is still over/under the best Spider-Man film along with Spider-Verse, and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

If Alex Ross is doing the art for it and not just the cover then I am all over this!

Am I the only person who thinks they're simply going to add some alternate timeline stuff in Far from Home, and this homage to prior Spider movies will be a part of that? There's literally no reason for a Maguire Spider-Man movie to come back NOW. He's 46!

Always loved Alex Ross's art- not a lot of painters out there in the comic book world, I think.

I’m just here to say Sam Raimi is leaps & bounds a superior director to the Russo brothers

tmp3 - 6/17/2019, 5:18 AM
@LEVITIKUZ - I love Raimi, but idk about "leaps & bounds" better than the Russos. He's (hot-take) leaps & bounds better than Watts though

@LEVITIKUZ - how right you are

@LEVITIKUZ - Maybe outside of superhero movies I might agree, I don't know.

But just superhero movies? Nah. I don't fall for the Russo brothers unshaking praise either but I'd argue they're actually better directors in that film than him.

Their character work for Cap is in my opinion stronger than Raimi's Spider-Man

Their action sequences (when good) are as good as the best one Raimi has done (train sequence) and I'd argue some are even better than that.

The overall level of acting in the Russo films is stronger and so is their character work.

The Russos' scripts have been better and they do not have a movie as messy or as cringey as Spider-Man 3.

@tmp3 - I wouldn't call saying Raimi being better than Watts is a hot take lol. I think almost everyone believes that he is. I do also.

Holland as Peter/Spidey though is better than Maguire.
LEVITIKUZ
LEVITIKUZ - 6/17/2019, 5:43 AM
@DnA - I don’t know the Russos scripts not being as messy as Raimi when now we have Captain ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ America in the MCU making out with his niece

Plus the Russos still hasn’t made a film as tight or as good as Spider-Man 2 (they also made the 2 weaker Cap films in the Cap trilogy but a convo for another day)

@DnA - eh, Homecoming has a lot of fans even if I didn't find it anything special.
JonC
JonC - 6/17/2019, 8:48 AM
@Truthsayer - pretty sure Disney doesn't have a whole lot of say in the movie as they trust Feige... they may get to see it but that's about it.
