Director Sam Raimi has said he thinks about his unmade Spider-Man movie ''all the time'' and admits "it's hard not to".

The 59-year-old filmmaker helmed the Spider-Man trilogy between 2002 and 2007, and says he still harbours regrets about plans for his fourth Spider-Man movie being axed by the studio.

Speaking to Yahoo, he explained: ''I think about it all the time."

''It's hard not to, because each summer another Spider-Man film comes out!

"So when you have an unborn one, you can't help but think what might have been."

"But I try to focus on what will be, and not look into the past.''

Meanwhile, actor J.K. Simmons recently admitted he would ''never say never'' to returning to the Spider-Man world.

Simmons, who starred as Daily Bugle newspaper editor J. Jonah Jameson in all three of Raimi's Spider-Man movies, said he would very much like to reprise the role in Tom Holland's Spider-Man films.

''I never say never. I mean, you know, obviously I had an amazing time with Sam Raimi on those movies and Tobey Maguire and everybody,2 he said.

''That was a great, great time and huge for my career and my life, and just pure fun.

"If there were an opportunity to revisit that ... I don't know, though. How old is 'Spider-Man' going to be if J. Jonah Jameson is this old?''

Raimi, who is best known for horror cult classics including the Evil Dead franchise, is currently promoting new thriller/disaster, Crawl.
