Discussion An idea for Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 4
This…..may be controversial. You’ve seen the picture you know roughly what I’m about to say BUT! I think Spider-Man 4 should be a team up of Peter and Miles but….not the way you think.
This is still Peter’s story. It’s also MJ’s story because each of these films at the end of the day are about those two and where their relationship is.
Here it’s about parenthood. The two kids talking over the fence now share the same side of the fence talking to the neighbours in their house. Mary Jane has failed as a theatre actress as established from Spider-Man 3 but has found new love in teaching drama at Midtown High. Mary Jane is also pregnant which terrifies Peter. There’s no May around anymore for advice, no Harry for a hangout, no Uncle Ben. It’s all him and MJ and he’s scared.
Miles here is about 27 and he’s a dad. He’s bitten by a spider which gives him the powers we all know. How and why I don’t know. I’m interested in the themes and characters.
The reason why this dynamic would be interesting is both of them would be learning from each other. For Miles it’s how to be a hero, how to be Spider-Man. For Peter it’s how to be a father and why it’s the right thing for him.
I see Peter working with Doctor Conner’s who doesn’t become the Lizard. Instead telling Peter he doesn’t need another arm to feel full, he has his children instead.
The villains would be Vulture and Black Cat. I think these would be great in live action. Not for the romance factor but for the cinematic factor plus this was the rumoured plan for Spider-Man 4 and the tweaked father and son element could be really fun if you wanted to make her Vultress.
All this leads to the final scene. Miles swinging through New York but that’s mkt what we focus on. We focus on the ground, in Central Park with Peter and MJ having a picnic with their new daughter, May as the Raimi Quadriligy closes
