Movie News (9/7/2008): /Film is reporting from a source at DeadlineHollywood that Sony has wrapped up Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire for Spider-Man 4. The execs’ would like both Spider-Man 4 and Spider-Man 5 to be shot back-to-back, which fits nicely into the story that we broke back in May about James Vanderbilt’s script that he turned in.
In the article, /film discusses who the next villain will be and they surmise that Dr. Connors will be playing “Lizard.” Dr. Connors was played by Dylan Baker in Spider-Man 2 and 3. 
Discussion: What do you think about the possibility of shooting back to back? What villain do want to see included? What did/didn’t you like about the Spider-Man franchise?

I think that it will be great to have more Spiderman, but with all the hype that is surrounding the Avengers, I’m much more interested in what will happen there.
First off…that dude has wicked crazy eyes…and yes, I said wicked crazy.
At what point do we say too much of a good thing? I have no doubt that a 4th movie would be successful, but a 5th right after it?
I am not a comics guy…who’s left for Spiderman to fight?
I thought I just read yesterday that Tobey was not a sure thing yet for both movies? Did I not read that right?
I’ve got word that he’s wrapped up with Sony. I’ll see if I can find the source, but all signs point to yes.
So long as the new villains don’t have flying snowboards I’ll be happy.
