We Had To Ask Sam Raimi About The Real Story Behind Those Rachel McAdams 'Spider-Man 4' Rumors

There are plenty of sweet BTS facts about Sam Raimi’s "Spider-Man" movies. Something die-hard fans probably know about the franchise by now is that a fourth installment was planned and later scrapped. Over the years, various rumors have cropped up in regard to the unmade superhero flick. Among the assertions is the claim that Rachel McAdams was being courted for a role way back when. CinemaBlend actually had the chance to ask Raimi about this, and he provided his take.

It’s long been alleged that McAdams was specifically being eyed for a villainous role in the proposed "Spider-Man 4," which was reportedly in development during the late 2000s. Raimi himself has occasionally discussed his since discarded comic book movie, setting the record straight when it comes to certain topics. So, when we recently spoke with the filmmaker (who was promoting his newest film, Send Help), we flat-out asked if there was ever a conversation with the Mean Girls alum.
