Thomas Haden Church Addresses SPIDER-MAN 4 Plans and Says He'd Play Sandman Again Tomorrow if Marvel Asked

There was a lot of excitement about the possibility of Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire getting back together for a fourth Spider-Man movie after Spider-Man: No Way Home was released. I’ll tell you what, had they actually made Spider-Man 4 instead of Madame Web, Sony would’ve made a ton of money. It’d be great to see Maguire’s version of Spider-Man explored more after being reintroduced in the MCU.

Thomas Haden Church recently talked about Spider-Man 4 and revealed that if he was asked to play Sandman again, he wouldn’t hesitate to jump on board! Church said in an interview with CB:

"But Sandman, there's been some rumors that they might ask me to do another Spider-Man, and I'd do it tomorrow. You know, they've never asked me to show up in another movie, another Marvel film.”

While Sandman did appear in No Way Home, the studio never asked Haden Church to come back. They just used old existing footage from Spider-Man 2. It was then suggested that Secret Wars is a possible project for him to return to, but he says if it happens, it will be for Spider-Man 4:

"But, you know, I think Sam is gonna do another Spider-Man with Tobey [Maguire], and that's the one that ... They had an option for me to do Spiderman 4 when there was going to be a Spiderman 4. They had an option on me to come back. So if it happens, that would be fantastic. I'm getting a little old."

Haden Church previously said something similar last year, saying: "There's always been some kind of…I've heard rumors…that Sam Raimi was going to do another [Spider-Man movie] with Tobey [Maguire] and if that happens, I would probably campaign to maybe at least do a cameo.”

The actor obviously really wants to play Sandman again, and it would be cool if he did. I think the fans would enjoy seeing this version of the character revised in a Spider-Man movie. I have no idea if it will ever happen, though.
