The 2000s were pretty interesting times for the realm of superheroes. While fans were being bombarded with critically panned superhero flicks like Catwoman and Daredevil on one hand, we also got to experience genre-bending releases like the Raimi trilogy and Christopher Nolan’s Batman films.
Luca Guadagnino recounted being awestruck by Sam Raimi’s reimagining of the Spider-Man mythos, which made the director adamant about making his own Spider-Man movie with Andrew Garfield at the forefront.
Luca Guadagnino Wanted to Helm a Andrew Garfield-Led Spider-Man Feature
During their appearance at the Marrakech Film Festival, in which Andrew Garfield served as one of the jury members, theChallengersfilmmaker recounted how influential Sam Raimi’sSpider-Manwas for him.

ConsideringLuca Guadagninois currently involved in the Garfield-led projectAfter the Hunt, the Queer director expressed his desire to jump into the realm of CBMs and helm a Spider-Man feature, starring theSilencestar (viaVariety).
I remember when Sam Raimi directed his first one, and I was 28 or 29, I had these dreams because I’m kind of a megalomaniac, and I wished I had been asked to do one. So I wish I had directed you in ‘Spider-Man.
However, a Guadagnino-led Spider-Man feature, starring Garfield, sounds too good to be true, as since the Raimi flicks, the MCU and Sony haven’t given filmmakers complete liberty over the IP, at least in the live-action space. Unlike the Batman IP, which remains very director-dominant, the MCU’s creative structure often limits the director’s vision, with James Gunn’sGuardiansbeing one of the few exceptions.
Sony Could End up Being the Exception in This Case
With Sony still lacking their own Spider-Man,Andrew Garfieldcould end up filling this gap, as the actor once showcased interest inreturning to the role. But the actor did lay down one condition (viaEsquire), adding that the concept should be something great and worth doing.
For sure, I would 100 percent come back if it was the right thing, if it’s additive to the culture, if there’s a great concept or something that hasn’t been done before that’s unique and odd and exciting and that you’re able to sink your teeth into.
While a Spider-Man feature from theQueerfilmmaker in the confinements of the MCU seems unlikely, if Sony ends up approaching the live-action releases like they approach animation, there might still be some hope.
