Spider-Man 4 News! Cast Confirmed, Rumors Denied!

I am really excited that Sam Rami is taking another chance with the Spider-Man franchise. The first two were some of the best movie making that I have ever seen. They were cornerstone in the current explosion of super-hero movies. That is something that we all should be thankful for. On to the news.
The New York Post got the scoop on some info for SM4. According to producer Todd Black, Kirsten Dunst IS going to be returning to her role as Mary Jane. However, it is not confirmed that there is going to be a wedding between Parker and MJ. Even though the end of the third one might lead you to think so. Secretly, I was kind of hoping for someone else to take up the role of MJ. KD has been ok (air quotes around ok) at this role. Personally, I don’t think she has been any more then ok at a role since Interview with a Vampire. Anyway.
Black also shed some light on the villain situation. Black says that Morbius is not going to be the villain in SM4. This piece of news kind of made me sad because I thought Rami would be the perfect person to bring this character to life. There is some life at the end of this tunnel. NYP gave us this:
Black also confirmed that the villain will be one of Spidey’s foes from the comic, not a character invented for the film
As if that wasn’t cool enough, Black was quoted as saying this:
We’re just coming up with who the villain’s going to be now. We’ll be shooting in New York again. Trust me, people will appreciate who we pick, because it’ll be a big part of New York.
Of course this has started the rumor mill into overload. The BIGGEST rumor to come out is that the villain might be, The Kingpin. Granted, he was the villain in Daredevil, but I have a feeling that people at Sony might be willing to fork over the cash to secure the rights.
I come from the school of not putting all of my eggs in one basket. I feel that there a lot of villains to choose from. Kraven, Shocker and Lizard just to name a few. In actuality, Black might just be throwing a smoke screen at us, and Morbius could be the top choice.
I love these kind of rumors because the possibilties are endless. Please, don’t stay quiet on this. Your opinion is priceless. So, until next time, let me know what you think.
McMurphy Out!
Having the Kingpin is lame. If the Lizard is not in this movie, Sam Raimi should be shot.
"I don’t think she has been any more then ok at a role since Interview with a Vampire."
totally agree! she was so good in that movie, i expected great things from her, and haven't really seen them. she should have taken the part in american beauty….
who is the new villain's going to be our I'm not going to watch the movie…………………..
Using a threat of not going to watch the movie Bella? Do me a favor, sit a couple of rows in front of me so I can pelt your empty head with skittles. You'll wait for the announcement just like everybody else.
Conners' presence implies the Lizard might play a role in this installment – and I sure hope so.
If Morbius is off the table, then how about an equally outlandish character? The Vulture would be a lot of fun and allow for lots of arial action between the two.
the lizard has been more than set up for the next one. plus didnt peter give him a peice of the symbiote to run tests on? that could lead to Carnage. Kingpin is ok. maybe he gets someone to hunt Spidey down, get him out of the way. maybe send Kraven after him. KD again? let me guess, she'll get kidnapped by a villain who knows Spiderman's identity and is being held hostage. gee, havn't seen that before. time to dump the crutch Spidey. Vulture would be very cool.
Apparently you haven't seen Dick or The Virgin Suicides, because Dunst is quite good in those films…
As for Spider-Man 4, I couldn't care less now. the third one was so, so terrible that I just don't see the point in trying to redeem it. Meh, give 'em 5 years and they'll reboot the whole damn thing again anyway
Get Carnage in!
Vulture would be interesting but he's pretty crap as villains go. Venom needs a second chance as Venom and not just some pubescent weed coated in black ink thinking he's immense and evil.
QFT
Venom would be a great choice
After the nonsense that went on in the third movie. They need to do Venom properly. Certain villians can stand alone. Others are just filler, robbing banks and jewelry stores in the background of Spidey's day. Follow the comics to the letter and you will have another blockbuster. At least with Mr. Raimi, I know the movie will be good because he cares about the characters. Sony stuck their noses into SpiderMan 3 and it was terrible.
My hope for the overall outcome of this movie is that the lizard is the main villain and he kills mary jane. I feel like that could lead to a good future story line, but I pray that it doesnt lead to another emo spidey that we saw in the middle of the third movie
agreed, a more mcfarlane-esque venom is what is needed
Kingpin would be ok But I want hob goblin How AWSOME would that be?
Ok, Lizard obviously.
Vulture, was supposed to be in Spider-Man 2 or 3 I can't remember I know that Sir Ben Kingsley had agreed to play him so bring him into these movies, but not with the red/black costume the original green would be best.
Kingpin, sure but only if Michael Clarke Duncan plays him if its some white guy than I'd be pissed.
I personally think it will be Electro Man becuase If u think of new yeark and what happend back in 1977 a huge power Outage……… So Something with this type of plot could definately be worked din the plot . . I do also see Lizard making a major appearance aswell. He could be more sewerer based while Elcectro Man could be making the havoc above and around the city.
