No, seriously, Sam Raimi “not actually working” on Spider-Man 4
Sorry, true believers, but the evergreen rumor is still bunk

Another April Fools’ Day is nearly in the bag, with various brands doing their damndest to turn their customers into morons. “We want 7/11’s Big Bite Hot Dog Sparking Water,” the furious Frankfurter fans cry as the convenience chain dashes their hopes with two words: “April fools.” One joker who’s not letting April Fool’s jokes go too far is director Sam Raimi, who, for roughly the last 15 years, has been the subject of rumors and gossip over whether or not he’s making a fourth Spider-Man movie. In short: No one’s asked him to.
Speaking to Comic Book Resources at WonderCon over the weekend, Raimi admitted he hadn’t “heard about” another sequel starring Tobey Maguire’s webhead from either Columbia or Marvel. He did read the rumors, though, and shut them down by saying he’s “not actually working on it yet.” We can only imagine how much he regrets adding that “yet.”
