Rumor Mill: Will Spider-Man 4 Get It Right With Only One Villain?

Dan — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 03:21:02 +0000

Take everything you read in this post with a grain of salt, but, it's being reported by industry insider MarketSaw that Spider-Man 4 will feature only one villain: The Lizard.

According to their report, a production insider has confirmed that the storyline only calls for one villain, Dr. Curt Connors himself. Last week, UGO reported that Dylan Baker, who portrayed Dr. Connors, got a call from Sam Raimi about the project. Who knows what was said on the phone, but one doesn't have to take too many guesses as to what they talked about. Until anything comes out officially, we're going to continue to consider this story a rumor, but the idea of a more streamlined Spider-Man film with just a solitary villain is exciting.

What do you think about all of this? Patrick, being our Truth On Cinema Comic Book Junkie, what say you?

Sam Raimi Agrees With Me: There Were Too Many Villains in Spider-Man 3

I have long argued that Spider-Man 3 will be the ruin of the Spider-Man franchise because of its over-littering of villains. I am not alone with this opinion as many people have sounded off since the movie came out about how much potential the movie had, but that which was ruined by the cramming of 3 well-known villains into a 2 and a half hour time period.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, the director of all of the Spider-Man films himself, Sam Raimi has admitted, evidently after the fuss I have been making about it, that the amount of villains did in fact ruin the 3rd film in the franchise. From the man himself:

"I think having so many villains detracted from the experience. I would agree with the criticism," he said in the print edition of DVD & Blu Ray Review, as reported in The Coventry Telegraph.

It's very encouraging to hear the director of the Spider-Man films admitting to the faults in his movie. Spider-Man 4 is automatically looking better due to his admission.

What do you think? Who do you think should be the villains in Spider-Man 4?

Kristen Dunst in Spider Man 4

Movie News (9/30/2008): So, while I reported back in August that Tobey and Sam were coming back for Spider-Man 4, it wasn't clear yet whether or not Kirsten Dunst was back....well, the news is in, she will be coming back for a fourth Spider Man. Discussion: I am not a fan of her and never have been, so this news doesn't excite me really, but I guess for continuity, it makes sense. How do you see her fitting into the new movie? Personally, I'd like to see her get killed off early and turn Peter Parker loose on a revenge-thirsty mission...what do you think? source: The Movie Blog

Spider-Man 4 and Spider-Man 5 Shot Back-to-Back

Dan — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 19:07:54 +0000

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?

Movie Rumors (5/19/08): From a trusted source close to Cinematical, it looks like Zodiac screenwriter James Vanderbilt has turned in a working draft for "Spider-Man 4" that apparently spans across 2 films. What this means is that a Spider-Man 4 and Spider-Man 5 could be shot back-to-back if the studios plan to pursue the script. What do you think?
