n a recent interview with The Week, director Sam Raimi spoke on "Spider-Man 3", and admitted that, that's a film he messed up on. "I messed up on the third one." He then added, and explained how he would be willing to work with Marvel again, if they needed him "I think they're so complete now, Marvel. They probably don't need me anymore. But if they needed me? I'd love to. It's great to be wanted."
This isn't the first time Raimi has spoken this way regarding "Spider-Man 3", in an interview with Nerdist early this year, he also shared his thoughts on how the movie was "a movie that just didn’t work very well," and that he "didn’t really believe in all the characters" that appeared in the film. Even though he's admitted this, I'm sure he'd love another crack at a Spider-Man film!
When asked about the new incarnations of Spider-Man (Amazing Spider-Man and Tom Holland's Spider-man), Raimi says he hasn't really stayed on top of them, despite seeing both "Amazing Spider-Man" films. "I'm not really on top of it. I know they made two [Amazing Spider-Man] features, and obviously, I've seen those." Sam Raimi has said in the past that he loved Marc Webb's Spider-man films, and probably from this he'll keep up with Marvel's newest Spider-Man that will appear in Captain America: Civil War!
