Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man film has seemingly got an interesting plotline for its fourth Instalment.

The Batman: Part II co-writer Mattson Tomlin pitched his idea of what he would like to see in the life of Maguire's Peter Parker.

The buzz around fourth part began in July, when fan on X (formerly Twitter) asked him "to write a screenplay, would you have interest or a vision for your take on Spider-Man? If so, what do you find interesting about the character?"

At that time, Tomlin replied, "Honestly right now my main interest in this respect would be to write a Spider-Man 4 where Tobey’s Spider-Man is juggling being a husband and a father."

He added, "Spider-Man as a father is where I gravitate towards given the last 8 films."

Recently another fan asked if there was "any movement" on new film, to which Tomlin said, "Slow and steady wins the race. 

"There won’t be anything to say about that for a long time (if ever!) because it involves a lot of people and politics and things going right that have nothing to do with me, but I haven’t gotten a 'no' yet!"
