    Raimi and Maguire set to wall crawl again...

    Speculation about who might be replacing Tobey Maguire in Spider-Man's webbed costume can now come to an end. Both Maguire and director Sam Raimi will be returning for Spider-Man 4, according to Nikki Finke at Deadline Hollywood, and they may be set to return for Spider-Man 5 as well.

    According to the report, the studio is looking to film both films at the same time both for reasons of cost effectiveness and because "it wasn't so easy to get everybody back together."

    And just who is 'everybody'? Well, it includes Maguire and Raimi. And it's almost a certainty that Kirsten Dunst will be back as well. According to the report Dunst's Mary Jane Watson will be featured, and Sony would "never recast her."

    The script for the film was written by Jamie Vanderbilt, and so far the studio is being tight-lipped about the villain and who might play the character. However insiders say that "once you find out who the villain is, you'll know who is playing it." One thing that is certain however is that it won't be a return of Venom. Spider-Man 4 will not follow the trend of The Dark Knight and "going dark".

    Principal photography for Spider-Man 4 begins in the fall of 2009.
    On a similar note, while the symbiotic alien costume won't be appearing in Spider-Man 4, Sony has hired screenwriters to begin work on a spin-off Venom film. No word yet on whether or not Topher Grace would return for the starring role.
    http://www.movieweb.com/news/73/31073.php
    So the biggest thing out of this article is that Venom will not return and Carnage is doubtful. "once you find out who the villain is, you'll know who is playing it." You can bet it'll be the Lizard with that quote.

    Maguire and Raimi coming back is pretty good news IMO.

    Its a proven success whether people want it to change or not.

    I suppose it also helps I have no fanboy vested interest in comics so the movies come off as entertaining to me without many gripes, especially the first two. While the 3rd is entertaining, it was the weakest because it was very much a juggled act.

    Im looking forward to another outing from these two. My only request is kill off MJ or reduce the screentime because the love story has played out enough in these 3 films. If there is any major gripe I have its just that story. I think its established enough and at this point, I'd rather they just kill her off.

    I'm a huge spiderman fan so I'm in. I just wish they'd replace Dunst. I hate that bitch and she makes a horrid Mary Jane. Wasn't Mary Jane supposed to be a model/actress?

    I didn't mind the 3rd one other than it was rushed and Topher Grace was a shitty venom. Besides that I thought it was pretty sweet. Spiderman 2 was the best though.

    Third one sucked, they totally ruined Venom. I've never been a fan of Kirsten Dunst as MJ either. She doesn't fit the part AT ALL. MJ isn't always so "damsel in destress" and sometimes she can have a bit of an attitude. Kirsten doesn't play that at all. And she doesn't look the part to me either, never bought her as a red head. But oh well I dig the first 2 movies. Hopefully the fourth will redeem the series. I'm pretty sure the villain in part 3 will be The Lizard "we know who will play him"? That would be doc conners. Atleast their totally revamping superman. Got that to look forward to.

    David Goyer wants to do "Green Arrow", and "Green Lantern" has a script.

    I thought Dunst fit the MJ role a lot better than Maguire did as Spider-Man. His voice was 75% of the problem.

    My bigger problem with MJ was the writing. She should be the balance to Parker's whining.

    Mentioning the villains sounds cool to me. That's a much better idea to partially set up the JL project. Their first idea was to have it follow the events of Batman Begins and not have a single set up movie for characters like the Flash or Green Lantern. :thumbsdown:

    Maguire is reported to make 50 large for Spidey 4 and 5 and Dunst news is to follow.
    http://entertainment.timesonline.co....cle4749016.ece

    A victory for working fathers in Hollywood, the actor Tobey Maguire has been granted “family time” with his young daughter as part of an unprecedented deal to star in the next two Spider-Man movies.

    Maguire was willing to shoot Spider-Man 4 and 5 back-to-back over six months next year but insisted he should take early mornings and evenings off so he could play with his “favourite blonde”, Ruby Sweetheart, who is 22 months old.

    The 33-year-old actor is expected to earn a record $50m (£28m) in salary and profit shares from the two films, substantially more than Keanu Reeves earned when he shot the last two Matrix films back-to-back. Reeves complained that it left him exhausted.
    In the next few days Sony is expected to reveal whether Maguire’s ex-girlfriend Kirsten Dunst will be returning as his on-screen love interest, Mary Jane Watson. Dunst, 26, has recently talked about a struggle with clinical depression.
    Sony has come out and said they wouldn't recast the role of MJ, so I'm interested into how they would write the character off if Dunst doesn't return.

    yeah I remember them wanting to do a JLA movie without introducin the characters first. Stupid idea. And I'm glad the supposed Green Lantern movie is gonna be Hal Jordan now.

    If this is to happen.

    It could only help. While it makes no difference to me what they do. It will only silence the cry for Dunst to either drop out or have someone else take over the role of MJ which wont happen.

    Maybe if the focus is soley on Parker. Most of the nerds will be content with the new movies having a chance at being something like the comics. No offense to hardcore spidey fans.
