Tobey Maguire and co-stars will start filming Spiderman 4 in February next year, director Sam Raimi has revealed

The cast will return once again for the fourth instalment of the hit superhero film, also starring Kirsten Dunst.

Raimi said: “The next instalment begins shooting, I believe, in February 2010.”

He added: “As far as we’re concerned, that’s no time left because they need so much time to work on the screenplay, casting is long, and the storyboarding and the shots are very, very complicated.”

He added: “There’s a lot of animation, there’s a lot of character design, costume design.

“It’s like making an animated film and a live-action film. I’ll just barely be ready.”
