Tijdens een live webcam chat voor de Los Angeles Times' The Envelope reageerde Tobey "Spidey" Maguire op de vertraging die is ontstaan bij de productie van Spider-Man 4 van regisseur Sam Raimi:

"Like anything, it's a process,. We're just in the midst of the process. We have a lot of great stuff in terms of story and script. We're just trying to dial it in and get it ready as quickly as possible. Of course, these movies are a very big undertaking and take a lot more time than a drama or something more straightforward."

Een nieuwe datum is nog niet opgegeven voor de vierde Spider-Man, die aanvankelijk gepland stond voor een wereldwijde release in mei 2011. Maguire is overigens in zijn nopjes dat hij weer in de huid kan stappen van Spider-Man, alias Peter Parker.

"Not only do I have specific ideas, but the ideas are evolving on the page. It's all happening right now. It's all sort of coming together. It's very exciting to me. I think the evolution of the character is really exciting, to be rooted in the history of what we've done already and to have a continuity, yet have a progression or evolution."
