Summary

Sam Raimi believes his Spider-Man and MJ have moved on.
He feels it's not right to revisit his past Spider-Man.
New filmmakers are carrying the torch for a new generation.

Sam Raimi, the director behind the initial "Spider-Man" film trilogy, recently indicated that the iterations of Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson portrayed by Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst have likely concluded their cinematic journeys.

Raimi expressed that his role was to carry the torch for a period, and now it is with new storytellers. He believes these current filmmakers are effectively continuing the narrative for an audience invested in the evolving superhero landscape.

The director of "Evil Dead" further explained that attempting to revive his specific version of the story would be inappropriate, especially as a new generation of fans is engaged with the current "Spider-Man" era. He highlighted the continuous evolution of the character and the creative teams behind him.
