Director Sam Raimi's Wife Files For Divorce After 30 Years, Demands Spousal Support

Famous director Sam Raimi's wife, Gillian Greene, has filed for divorce after 30 years of marriage, citing "irreconcilable differences."

Greene is demanding spousal support from Raimi. However, there will be no battle over child support as all their kids are grown.

According to legal documents obtained by The Blast, Greene filed for divorce from Raimi at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse in Los Angeles.

The duo has been married since September 17, 1993, and they have five children: Henry, Lorne, Emma, Schooley, and Dashiell William Raimi.

Greene did not specify precisely when she and Raimi separated in the legal documents; however, she requested spousal support from the "Spider-Man" director.

The petition also did not mention a prenup, as Greene said they would have to review their assets to decide what to do next.

Like her estranged husband, Greene is also a director. She has directed films such as 2014's "Murder of a Cat," 2010's "Flying Lessons," and a few others.

During a recent conversation with The Wrap on the red carpet for his new film "Boy Kills World," Raimi weighed in on his future with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which had been a subject of speculation in recent times.

Raimi had been tipped to return to a larger role at the media franchise when he returned to his role with "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness." There were also speculations that he'd direct the "Avengers: Secret Wars," which is set to be released in May 2027.

However, the "Evil Dead Rise" director has now cast doubt on his future with the MCU, noting that he doesn't have "any plans" for a collaboration with Marvel.

"I don't have any plans," he said of a return to Marvel. "But I would love it!"

The famed director also distanced himself from a fourth installment of the "Spider-Man" franchise, which had been a long-standing debate before now.

According to The CBR, talks on making a fourth "Spider-Man" film have been on the table for some time. However, back in 2010, Raimi, Sony Pictures, and Tobey Maguire parted ways due to creative differences, and instead, the studio rebooted the franchise with "The Amazing Spider-Man," starring Andrew Garfield.

During his recent attendance at Wondercon, Raimi noted that he's aware of the talks, but he's "not actually working on it yet."

"Well, I haven't heard about that yet," he said when asked about the rumors. "I did read that, but I'm not actually working on it yet."

He continued, "I mean, Marvel and Columbia are so successful with current Spider-Man [movies], and the track there, and I don't know that they're going to go back to me and say, 'Well, folks, we can also tell that story!' I'm not sure, but I love all the new Spider-Man movies. I loved Spider-Man: No Way Home. It was really, super powerful seeing Tobey [Maguire] again in it."

Speaking with The Wrap about a hypothetical storyline for the film, Raimi told the news outlet that he had not given it much thought and that he would have to talk to Maguire, who played Peter Parker in the film.

"I haven't because I'd have to know what the next thing that character has to learn," the 64-year-old director noted.

He added: "I'd have to talk with Tobey and the writers and really figure out what his personal growth for this episode would be."

Raimi went on to explain that whatever Maguire's personal growth was, it would eventually dictate the film's villain.

"I think if we were to make a fourth 'Spider-Man' film, we'd probably have to figure out the journey that Tobey Maguire, his character, would be going on, and what obstacles he had to overcome to achieve that growth personally," Raimi stated.

"And I hope the villain would be chosen based on a representation of that obstacle," the director concluded.
