Spider-Man 4 Coming 2010?!
Marvel Vice Chairman Peter Cuneo was asked about the status of Spider-man 4 today. He confirmed that Sony has made the payment to renew their rights to make the film.
Cuneo said the following, "As far as Spider-man 4, it's really up to Sony, it's up to them, most likely scenario is 2010 or 2011 but we can't speak for them and I think, that we don't know. They have given us their re-up payment for that film so you know they're going to make it within a reasonable timeframe. Sony may be looking at some issues with the cast and so on, I think they have to make some decisions."
So it's really up to Sony right now, will Tobey Maguire return? Will Sam Raimi return? Also, the re-up payment means the rights need to be used within a reasonable amount of time, so I would expect to hear something regarding movement on 4 and 5 late this year if not early next year.
Cinematical reported that Sony Pictures is looking to film the next two Spider-Man movies, 4 and 5, back to back. They hired James Vanderbilt (Zodiac) to write the screenplays. An inside source told the site that, "[Vanderbilt's] story arc has encompassed two films, making Spider-Man 5 shootable at the same time. The studio saw dollar signs and is in the process of reworking his deal to snatch up the story arc."
So with the re-up paid for Spider-man 4 does that change these rumored plans? The tone of Cuneo's voice when talking about the status seemed to emphasize that Sony needed to make some decisions regarding casting before they could move forward.
Ik zit er hoegenaamd niet op te wachten, maar als ze 't dan toch gaan doen, mogen ze van mij ook meteen Peter Parker & Mary Jane opnieuw casten.
Qua bad guys lijkt Lizard me wel in de lijn der verwachtingen te liggen. Kraven zou ik ook wel tof vinden. Misschien kunnen ze de Black Cat ergens tussen gooien. Zolang Venom maar dood blijft en Carnage mogen ze helemaal negeren.
