The director also admitted that there were many changes he would like to go back and fix about the 2007 third instalment of the superhero franchise, First Showing reports.
"What would I have done differently? I would have done everything differently, every single shot," he told the Los Angeles Times.
He claimed that he wants to do the webslinger cinematic justice this time around.
"I want to make the best [Spider-Man movie] of the bunch and I've always been touched by Peter Parker in a way that I've never been able to describe on film, even though I've got a great actor performing it."
The script for the fourth film in the franchise is being written by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Lindsay-Abaire, while Raimi expects to have the first draft by mid-June.
Actress Kirsten Dunst is reportedly willing to sign on for the film, based upon the strength of the screenplay.
Raimi added that he’s about to hire a "production skeleton," and hopes to have the film ready for its May 6, 2011 release date.
