The Official Spider-Man 4 Anticipation Thread

[Pac-Master]

So, with Spidey making his way back to theaters in 2011, I decided to make this thread dealing with your excitement for this one, your good (or bad) experiences with the past three films, what you would like to see in the movie, and etc. 2011 can't come soon enough!

[webhead731]

I'm excited as hell. Big Spidey fan, loved the last three films, happy the cast is back, happy Raimi is back. Can't wait!!!!

[rocco2216]

I can't get excited yet until we get some official news. I guess we won't hear anything until Gary Ross is finished re-writing the script.

[Spider-ManHero12]

I'm BEYOND excited for S-M4!!!!! I'm a HUUUGE Spider-Man fan, and the wait for S-M4 is killing me, but i have a feeling it'll be amazing. :spidey::up:

[rocco2216]

Well Wizard Con is Thursday - Sunday. Do you guys think they'll announce the villains during Wizard Con?

[SpaceWay2009]

I'm excited! I would be even more excited if there were some new news.

[Spider-ManHero12]

I'm excited! I would be even more excited if there were some new news. I expect ALOT of news this year. :up:

[Pac-Master]

New York Comic Con is in October of next year (why is it so late?), so there might be a panel for Spider-Man 4. It's almost certain.

[JerseyJoker]

I'm as hyped for the film as you can get at this point in post-production.

I am really, truly anticipation this movie, cause i think after TDK, Raimi has a point to prove and has this added motivation to go out and try to not just top TDK, but top SM2, which i still regard as the best comic book movie.

But i probably will spend most of production/post not really on this board as i use to in the past, cause after a while, all the blind negativity and same discussions about recasting, reboots and just things that make no sense, take away the fun of posting with fun and knowledgeable posters. But i deff. will be popping in and out to interesting threads and look at that amazing Manip thread, which always produces some quality work.

[Brimay]

Just the wait for knowing who the new villians are is killing me.
But, when the information comes out and hopefully we find out that the lizard is in this then i will be a happy panda. spider.

[SpideyTheBest]

I will only get excited when I hear who the villains are, that is if it's a good choice of villains which I pretty much believe it is. As long as it's classic villains.

[SpeterMan3]

I'm excited, but willing to wait. It's not that big of a deal, but I am still pretty excited to see my favorite film franchise continued.

[SymbioticToxin]

For this, I wrote this for my livejournal thing I'm staring. NOw if on;y people would comment or whatevr you do on that site.

[Goran]

I really can't wait any longer!! I want them to release some kind of news in the coming week!

[SymbioticToxin]

I know, right? Everyday I check the web for some new snipet of info, and I get nothing.

[rocco2216]

Hey guys, read this and click on the link. It's very interesting. :yay:


As a real female fan of Spider-Man and this side I am very interested to find any news round about the next part of the Spider-Man-blockbuster. For that I just wanna let you know that I discovered a fantastic homepage with the storybook of the next Spider-Man 4. For my opinion this is a real professional story: http://www.mehlhart.net/

I do not know, if the story is the right one, but all already known rumors round about Spider-Man 4 are part of this story - what if this is the real story? What if the story is alredy existing? And at the end the story referred to a personal meeting with Tobey Maguire - I do not know, what you guys (or Sam Raimi/Gary Ross) are thinking, but I would say, this is pretty cool.

[BrollySupersj]

I'm keeping my excitement in the box for now. Not to say I'm NOT excited, I'm just holding it for when we get something to REALLY get excited about.

Also, SymbioticToxin, you're A LONG LONG way from finding interesting news on the movie. It's 2009, movie don't come out till 2011. You won't find anything worth while till....Summer 2010.

Skimmed it. Seems cool, and would be nice if it's real. I doubt anything really real would be available anywhere this early, though. If this is real, dude's probably gonna have to take it down, lol.

[Spider-ManHero12]

I really can't wait any longer!! I want them to release some kind of news in the coming week! Same here, my friend! :spidey:

[JaD]

I know I've mentioned it to a few friends of mine, but I've had several dreams of me swinging around like Spidey in the last few months. So yes, I am very much in the anticipation stage for this movie. Alot. :funny: I think this next movie will fit Spidey's rep very closely and be... AMAZING

Can't wait to start getting some news. :spidey:

[Spider-ManHero12]

For a long time now, something has been tellig me this movie is going ot be not only the best of the franchise, but have a huge impact on comic films. Let's hope. :up:

It's not that early. They're supposded to start filming in Feb.

I'm with you on that one.

Though...I'd start preparing for "TDK vs Spider-Man 4" threads, and flamewars of epic scale. We must be cautious.

[SpeterMan3]

True.

[Spider-ManHero12]

I'm with you on that one.

Though...I'd start preparing for "TDK vs Spider-Man 4" threads, and flamewars of epic scale. We must be cautious. Yeah, I see what you mean. It's going to be big, that's for sure.

[BrollySupersj]

Filming in Feb? News to me, but good news altogether.

[Spider-ManHero12]

Filming in Feb? News to me, but good news altogether. Indeed, though, I thought it was March.

[rocco2216]

True.


By now, they would have already have cast one or two of the new characters. Just look at when Thomas Hayden Church was cast as Sandman, in March 2005 and then they cast Tohper Grace in May 2005.

[rocco2216]

Filming in Feb? News to me, but good news altogether.

Well, Sam Raimi many months ago said possibly March, but recently has been saying Feb so...

[BrollySupersj]

If that be the case, then most pre-production work is nearly done, and there's loads of concept art just waiting to be put on the web...

We need a sleeper agent.....

[Spider-ManHero12]

If that be the case, then most pre-production work is nearly done, and there's loads of concept art just waiting to be put on the web...

We need a sleeper agent..... I wish they would release some concept artwork, but there probably won't be something until this fall or winter.

[BrollySupersj]

Well, we did get our first look at Sandman in 2005 correct? Same could happen here. Perhaps a teaser image of Lizard or something, or Dr. Conners working in his lab.

[rocco2216]

Well, we did get our first look at Sandman in 2005 correct? Same could happen here. Perhaps a teaser image of Lizard or something, or Dr. Conners working in his lab.


Right, we got our first look at Sandman in November 2005. But I think Kirsten Dunst spilled the beans by saying the new villains were Sandman and Venom in Sep 2005 I think.

[BrollySupersj]

Lets hope she can put that mouth to good use again. But, in this day and age, she won't have to. Only a matter of time before someone finds an interesting bit on the movie and posts it at every major movie site.

Happens all the time with these movies.

[Pac-Master]

I have really been thinking about this movie for the past couple of days and I've been wondering...is this movie really being made? I mean, alot of films have scripts, but only half of the scripts out there actually come to be. Raimi has said that Tobey and Kirsten will return, but is that official? Shouldn't there be a press release or something? I don't know, maybe it's just me being too cautious.

[Doctor Jones]

It is happening. Raimi has talked about it, and they are on the third draft right now.

I expect an announcement towards the end of the year. Then the hype officially begins.

[Grievous]

As soon as I see the first official picture from the film I will be very hyped for the movie.

[smoothbody]

This is what I am anticipating ......

I just hope no noobs come or trolls that mess up my/our hype for this film. The wait for these movies is sooo long, so when one of the films comes around, it needs to be perfect hype, IMO.

Didin't we get a glimpse of Doc Ock and Sandman 2 years before the films they were in came out? I know it happend with Sandman but what about Doc Ock? I can't remember because well, I wasn't that much into computers when I was 10 which was my age when I first saw him. :o

Hopefully, we will know who the villains are in at least less than 3 months.

I think we'll know by the end of this month, if Gary Ross finishes re-writing the script by then and they like that is.

[SymbioticToxin]

I think so too, as long as they don't decide to have it rewritten again. It annoys me that I have to wait, but I'm also happy. Its means there trying to make it better then the third and still make people want to see it. Know what I mean?

[Pac-Master]

Tobey Maguire has a Twitter (user name tobymaguire... he takes out the "E" because people keep calling him "Toby"). Whoever has a Twitter here should ask him some questions about SM4!

[Oscorp]

I think we'll know by the end of this month, if Gary Ross finishes re-writing the script by then and they like that is.

Hmm...sounds almost abit too optimistic. I mean, even if the script may be finished by then, I think Sony wants to make it a secret as long as they can. However, I can't wait so I hope you're right.

Yeah it's hard to wait, but I have a good feeling about these rewrites too. I don't think it's because the previous scripts were bad, but that they want perfection this time.

Yeah, but let's hope. I mean, we may not get something until November.

[rocco2216]

True, possibly, but I would think they would start casting before then, all the new characters including the villains as well so I think we'll know before then. And if they don't like Gary Ross's script then there is no pleasing them I guess ha ha. I mean Gary Ross wrote and directed Pleasantville and Seabiscuit, both of which had Tobey Maguire, right?

Oh yeah, definitely, they want the script to be as good as possible, especially Tobey Maguire.

YOu know, I'm SUUUPER excited for the S-M4 hype, but the only thing I'm not looking foward to are the " Hype every thing comic book film" fans that love everything coming in here and hyping it, and talking about the comics like they know the comics, when really, they know s***. They are just hyping it to hype it.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! CAN'T WAIT FOR SPIDER-MAN 4! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I THINK SPIDER-MAN SHOULD FIGHT WITH LEX LUTHOR! THAT CAN HAPPEN RIGHT? WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Just kidding. I am looking forward to Spider-Man 4 though.

[SymbioticToxin]

You know what the best part of this is for me? The fact I can actually participate in the hype of Spider-Man. This is like a first for me. Spider-Man 3 I pretty much just hyped myself, which drove my mother crazy. Now I can do it with freinds and not drive my mom bonkers, whoop whoop!!

[SpeterMan3]

Lol, that's exactly how I feel (and was, pre-SM3).

[VenomVsSpidey]

Tobey Maguire has a Twitter (user name tobymaguire... he takes out the "E" because people keep calling him "Toby"). Whoever has a Twitter here should ask him some questions about SM4!


just asked him if he was coming back for SM5 after SM4...

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ Same here. He probably won't respond, but still. I've talked to him in 3 conversations before. It was awesome.

[The Joker]

Didin't we get a glimpse of Doc Ock and Sandman 2 years before the films they were in came out?

Sandman, yes, Doc Ock, no.

Spider-Man had only been released 2 years before SM-2 came out. Doc Ock's image was released a year before the SM-2's release, at Comic Con. It was that infamous poster of him standing on the clock tower.

I'm not that excited yet, but that's because there's nothing known about the movie yet besides it's coming & the old cast is returning.

[rocco2216]

Is it really him?

[Super Saiyan]

So, with Spidey making his way back to theaters in 2011, I decided to make this thread dealing with your excitement for this one, your good (or bad) experiences with the past three films, what you would like to see in the movie, and etc. 2011 can't come soon enough!

Hopefully this movie will kick all kinds of ass.

If in 2012 the world is going to end, then I at least want to die knowing that SM4 surpassed SM2 in greatness....yeah. :o

[UnionJack]

How old is Tobey going to be when Spidey 4 is made like 36 ... how old is Peter going to be .. still in his 20's.

I hope this is the last one from this cast and IF they do make Spider-man 5 and beyond its with other people.

After SM3 my excitement for these movies pretty much died after that.

Spidey still is my fave comic hero and has been since a child but film wise 1 and 2 nail it 3 .. meh

[Spider-Vader]

If Lizard's the villain we probably aren't going to be seeing him for a while. So hopefully it's Kraven & Lizard so we can atleast see Kraven.

[UnionJack]

If Lizard's the villain we probably aren't going to be seeing him for a while. So hopefully it's Kraven & Lizard so we can atleast see Kraven.

Why have 2 villains per film.

I'd rather have one and give more depth to the characters and story more.

We don't want a repeat of 3 where too much is going on at once and it all feels very rushed.

[Pac-Master]

January 2010, filming begins. See front page.

[Doctor Jones]

Can't wait. Now I hope we can start hearing some casting news. In these three months hopfully. And I hope they don't keep them mysteries like they did with the third.

The hype will officially begin for me when I hear villain casting.

[Spider-ManHero12]

Let's hope for some casting news soon! ALso, something tells me that we'll be getting our first Spider-Man movie........that's during the winter time! As I said, it would rock. :up:

[mclay18]

My anticipation for the movie shot up more when I heard Sony is releasing it a day earlier and in IMAX theaters, no less.

I can't see why people aren't getting more excited about it, aside from the (entertaining) mess that was SM-3. Raimi has creative control, and it's little things like that makes the difference.

[Frodo]

Well to be fair it is film 4 , so usually the excitement level isn't as great. I also think there has to be a certain hunger for it and the film is still two years away . SM-3 might be a factor in the lack of excitement ,but it's still pretty early.

Sony, change the damn release date back to May 6th, so we can at least try and break the weekend record. Why would they release the film on a Thursday instead of a Friday?

I could seriously kick the people at Sony in their ass! :mad:

Yay for Vis's return :up:

[bullets]

It's incredible and alot of times adds to the experience.

The Dark Knight was awesome in Imax and could realy pull you in sometimes.
I saw Beouwulf 3-d which was ok but Imax and the 3-d combined made it a good experience.
300 was so good in Imax I just get bored watching it at home.
Spider-man 3 , the last scene with sandman picking up spider-man looked amazing.

[SpideyVille]

I honestly didn't know the difference when I first saw SM3 at the midnight premiere in IMAX until I went to a regular theater later on that same day to see it again with some of my friends. IMAX makes a huge difference that definitely adds to your movie going experience.

[Pac-Master]

So it's that good? It seems pretty ground breaking.

[Hectorminator]

"A more greater threat."

Fake.



And to add to the anticipation for Spidey 4 in IMAX, I remember seeing Spider-Man 2 in IMAX and that one scene where he web slings in front of the huge building and he's the size of a speck on screen, and then right after he loses his powers... Yeah that building was actual size and that little speck was man-size. It was freaking mind-blowing. I kept thinking "that's what the real Spider-Man would look like up there..." =) It made me so happy, heh.

Either that or they just prefer to see someone who hasn't had a movie yet.

I think you're wrong on that part. that would most likely be fanboys who dont want a SM4 (not all fb, but some)


Either that or they just prefer to see someone who hasn't had a movie yet.

If anything it would be for this reason.

[Spider-Vader]

Why? Cap is one of Marvel's most popular characters & he's a character who hasn't had a (real) movie yet.

I'm looking forward to Cap more than Spidey 4, even though Spidey's my second favorite comic character, & I liked Spidey 3.

[Spider-ManHero12]

Either that or they just prefer to see someone who hasn't had a movie yet. That's probably why, but me? I'm with Spidey all the way.

Memo to the Executives - Spider-Man 4 (http://thinkmcflythink.squarespace.com/movie-news/2009/9/18/memo-to-the-executives-spider-man-4.html)

Some REALLY good ideas here. I don't agree with all of them, but I think some of the story ideas are spot-on. Especially the Aunt May and MJ separation bits.

But I love Elfman's theme, but it was greatly overused in the third movie. Hopefully Raimi and Christopher Young will tone it down for the fourth outing...

I like some of his ideas, too, e.g. starting the film with a "bang".

I imagine the beginning like this: We see a spider's web attached to a wall (similar to sm-1), off-screen we hear Peter talking "...some things have change, but some things will always stay the same". Saying this, we see the wall going down with a big blast. Lots of dust and concrete... Guess who destroyed the wall? It's the Shocker! We see him fighting Spidey.

This way they could handle a minor villain like the Shocker, which would be defeated by Spidey immediately.

I was over at IMDB, seeing what hideous rumour they had up, when I looked through the message board. I stumbled across this thread:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0948470/board/thread/149777690?p=1

Now, I know that IMDB is a far from reliable site (Aunt Carnage), and this could be nothing more than a lie, but this person goes on to say that his cousin knows that a set of a "rundown bottling company" is being built for Spider-Man 4. Who knows? I remember a couple years back when a poster claimed that he had read the script for 3 and gave major plot points. Most of them being true. So maybe this could lead to something.

And now he says that they're modifying the police station from Spider-Man 3, so I guess this means that Captain Stacy will be back.

Me too! What came to my mind is that it would be very cool to see a Shocker battle there, but I doubt the odds are on my side :/

EDIT: Sorry, double post

[Retroman]

Interesting but i'm highly skeptical about this and it's going to be a while before we can find out if any of this is true.:o

The bottle company could be a number of things; setting of battle, villain lair or maybe one of the characters has a serious drinking problem?:dry:

It being a villain lair would be interresting I think! However, I don't think Kraven is such a villain to be shown with a lair or anything like that, so if it actually is a lair, it may be for someone like Mysterio, Vulture or possibly Electro?

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ I think the best bet would be Electro, but I can see possibly it being Kraven's hideout.

[Spider-Vader]

Screw that. I'm never trusting that POS site again, especially not after what happened after Wolverine, where that site wasgiving me false hope Fox wouldn't f*** up Deadpool.

[Spider-Fan83]

why would Electro be hiding out in a bottling company
why would any villian, for that matter

I'd say if true, this is probably just a random set, maybe, a place where a fight happens, or ends up

[thejon93]

Well, a superhero did (in 'The Incredible Hulk'). :oldrazz:

[Oscorp]

Well, I just don't imagine Kraven being shown in a hideout or something like that. I've always imagined Kraven as a "pop-up" villain who would appear out of nowhere to attack Spidey. Of course Kraven must have a hideout, but I think it would be awesome if the audience would react like "Omg, where does he come from!?", because he's that scary master of hunting who'd track you down anywhere. I think, the place where he hides should remain unknown for us, to make it more mysterious. Sorry, I explained bad but it's because I just woke up :P

[Goran]

I'd like the bottling company to be a battling place in the beginning of the movie, e.g. when Spidey is fighting Shocker. It would make for great visual and sound effects :)

OK, I asked him if he could give me any kind of hint towards the villains. He two of these villains will be in the film...

Mysterio
Vulture
Jackal
Tombstone
Electro

I guess we will just have to guess based on this list...

Dude, you can't just not believe him just because it looks like the villains won't be the Lizard and Kraven. Those two were just wishful thinking anyways. It sounds like Sam Raimi wasn't pressured to use any villain or character he didn't want. Let's let Sam do his thing. Tombstone I think would be bad ass. If this list is true then I think it will be Tombstone and Electro or Electro and the Vulture but that's me.

Hmm...if this is true...it will probably be Vulture and Electro. I love Electro and definitely want to see him on the big screen, but why does Raimi seem to love Vulture so much? He wanted him in Spider-Man 3, and now in Spider-Man 4, even though it should be time for Lizard. I just don't like Vulture, he's not interresting to me at all.

We can exclude Jackal and Tombstone, since they're not classic ones (ok Jackal is, but he didn't get the real spotlight until the 90's Clone Saga).

My dream choices would be, if that list is correct, Mysterio and Electro. However, I think Lizard and Electro is a better match, even though Mysterio is my favourite Spider-Man villain. Then Mysterio could be with someone that fits him more in Spider-Man 5 if there will be one.

Remember after Spider-Man 3, when Raimi still was unsure about continuing, he said that if he'd film Spider-Man 4, he'd want Vulture and Electro as the villains.

That's right, he did say that about the Vulture and Electro to possibly set up the Sinister Six for a future sequel. Plus if an old guy, or Ben Kingsley ha ha, is cast, or a black actor, or any actors that match any of the above villains we'll know it's true. He did say that his cousin likes to throw people off sometimes so we'll see.

It being a villain lair would be interresting I think! However, I don't think Kraven is such a villain to be shown with a lair or anything like that, so if it actually is a lair, it may be for someone like Mysterio, Vulture or possibly Electro?
Doc Ock's was a rundown pier so, yeah, anything's possible.

Plus as cool as the Lizard would be, why does everyone assume he will be a villain in 4, why? Just because he was in 2 and 3? He wasn't set up to be a villain exactly in 4 like Harry was obviously planned and set up to become one in 3.

[Goran]

I for one assume it because it's about time!!
They surely didn't set him up like Harry in S-M2, but it's just unfair to let Connors (and Baker) appear in two films and mention him in the first one but not letting him become the Lizard finally!

I hoped to see Tobey Maguire fight him as Spider-Man, and not someone else in a possible restart after the fourth installment.

[spider-neil]

I swear I'll probably throw up in my mouth a little if that happens again or if Dunst still plays a whiney MJ who gets kidnapped again.

Dylan Baker talks S-M4! Great to know he's back. :spidey::up:

Ever since Dylan Baker first appeared in Spider-Man 2 as Empire State University professor Dr. Curt Connors, people have been buzzing about whether we might ever see him turn into Spider-Man's scaliest foe The Lizard. Unfortunately, we don't have the answer to that question just yet, but UGO had people at the Walter Reade screening of Michael Dougherty's Trick 'r Treat (http://shocktillyoudrop.com/films.php?id=565) last night where actor Dylan Baker confirmed he would be returning as Connors for Spider-Man 4 (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=46192), when asked about it during a post-screening Q & A. He didn't go into details about how big or small his role might be in the fourth installment, although it seemed like it would be another "background" part, rather than The Lizard taking center stage as the next Spider-Man villain.

http://www.superherohype.com/news/spider-mannews.php?id=8786

Yes, but he's acting like it's another minor role. Is this just to throw off the fans? Hope so

[Oscorp]

The guy over at imdb with what may be inside information has said that his cousin said one of the villains will either be Tombstone or Jackal. Now that was unexpected I must say. If that is true, I definitely hope it'll be Tombstone. I'll copy what I wrote over there about it:

"Hmm...I wonder how they'll try to make Tombstone fit with the other villain, if he's one of the villains.

I'm actually quite excited about Tombstone, I really like him and think he's abit underrated.

I can imagine the movie being about the rise of the mob becoming a new, underground big threat. Meanwhile, there's this superpowered foe who wants to kill Spidey too.

Like, before, Spidey's main threats have been superpowered villains only. Now, there is this powerful man who's mobilizing the criminals in the city and starting a "war" against the police and Spider-Man. Even though they're not superpowered, Spidey still wouldn't survive a bullet in the head, so he has to be even more careful now since anyone could see and shoot him anytime. The city is becoming chaotic with the mob taking more power.

Meanwhile, there's this other threat. Could be Vulture, Electro or Mysterio. I can imagine Mysterio tricking the people that Spider-Man is part of the growing criminality, and that Spider-Man is a criminal himself, by illusions and stuff. By doing that, he turns the police and the people against Spidey too. From being loved in Spider-Man 3, he's now hated by the masses and a target by both the mobs and the police. J.J.Jameson is also a part of this new hate of Spidey, convincing people with the papers that Spidey is a villain. Also, Mysterio is making Spider-Man think that he's going mad, with the help of illusions and other tricks. This is making Spidey hit rock bottom and wonder if he's really sane or not. The final battle against Mysterio will leave you thinking "is Mysterio dead or not?", because I think he should end with a mystery. Spidey will have the final confrontation with Tombstone just before that and put him in jail (not kill him).

That's how I would do if the villains would be Tombstone and Mysterio. I think that could fit quite well. I don't know how Tombstone-Vulture or Tombstone-Electro would work though, I might think something up :)
I just think it's fun to speculate some ideas, I'm sorry for taking up space with my babbling, hope I didn't interrupt too much"



What do you think? Who would fit best in a movie with Tombstone you think, if he'll appear? Or do you think it may be Jackal? Let's discuss some :)

[Oscorp]

Also, to add to my post:

I think Captain Stacy should get a much bigger role in this one than in Spider-Man 3. He could be the only cop (and person except for MJ and Aunt May and a few number in the city (someone could yell something like "You're my hero, Spidey!", and you could see Spidey's appreciation to that little comment, as to show that he's hated by many, but there are still people who believe in him)) to believe that Spider-Man not is the criminal the majority believes him to be.

Mary Jane could finally become the supportive girlfriend she should be. Peter is starting to doubt his own sanity and start to feel that everyone is against him and that it's his own fault. That's when MJ will be there for him and push him to do what is right, even though Peter is becoming more and more certain that he's not sane (even if he actually is).

Aunt May still doesn't know Peter is Spider-Man. However, she still believes Spider-Man is a hero, which will warm Peter's heart.

So Captain Stacy would work as Spidey's support, MJ as Peter's support, and Aunt May being a little of both.

That could explain why there is a set of the police station Captain Stacy worked at again. Though, there are lots of possible outcomes, I'm just speculating.

I can also imagine the final battle against Mysterio being in a rundown bottle company. That could work as Mysterio's playground for his machines and illusions to try to take Spidey down. He could trick Spidey to go there, making him trapped.

[Spider-ManHero12]

Wow, so it's either Tombstone or Jackal? I'd say TOmbstone, ad possibly Vulture. Those 2 seem like they'll be in in this film, if you ask me. Tombstone rocks!

[rocco2216]

Well guys, his cousin told him, because he guessed right with some help from me ha ha, that the villains are Electro and Tombstone with an anti-villain that has some connection to Tombstone. So there you go guys. Now let's wait for the official announcement. I'm excited and pumped now! :woot:

I truly believe it is. It makes sense. Tombstone is a big part of New York. He's a crime lord. And Electro is one of Sam Raimi's favorites. This guy isn't a troll.

[SpideyTheBest]

I still think it's BS. But I'll wait for the official announcement.

Tombstone? A crime lord? They have been watching Spectacular Spider-Man, which is actually good.

[Goran]

Tombstone? Why Tombstone? He's nothing special... unknown to non-comicbook-readers... :(

Why going the route that TDK took...??
Crime lords?? They have no place in a spider-man film :(

I can live with Electro. I even like him! Though it's nothing new... no new effects... we already had similar powers with Dr. Doom in "Fantastic 4".

[The Caped Knight]

I want the Lizard .

Most non-comic book readers don't care and don't know most of Spider-Man's villains anyway. And Electro they would obviously do a lot more cool and crazy stuff with. It won't be lame like that so called Dr. Doom. There's nothing really new with the Lizard either if you think about it, but if he was one of the villains they wouldn't make it that simple. Look at the amount of detail they put into Doc Ock's tentacles, Sandman, and Venom.

Tombstone is underrated and badass.

Electro?

That's a classic villain right there,probably a favorite of Sam too which can only be a positive.

I'm certain people will be disappointed because the Lizard is not in it but Electro is not a bad choice.

[Oscorp]

According to the guy, he received an answer by mail from his cousin. If he's telling the truth, it looks like the villains will be Tombstone and Electro. He said his cousin confirmed it. However, even if I believe him, I'm ready with my grain of salt.

[Pac-Master]

After thinking about it, it all makes sense now. Big part of New York, Tombstone. Raimi's love for classic villians, Electro. But still, I'll remain skeptical.

[Oscorp]

Yeah, however, Electro could also be seen as very New York centric, as he could create a blackout for the whole city etc.

Also, yes Raimi loves the classics, but the only plausible villains left were classics anyway (except for Tombstone, that's a left field villain for sure if he's indeed going to be in it!). Electro, Vulture, Mysterio, Lizard, Kraven...

[sauronthegreat]

I have always said that my favourite villain for Spider-Man 4 is Electro. I want him to reach the full potential of his power. To darken the city that never sleeps. To even threaten the rest of the world, which heavely rellies on elctricity and communication. Spidey would save not just MJ or the NYC, but the whole world from Electro.

Yes he is one of Sam Raimi's favorites and would make sense after Sandman. And his cousin also said that they're building a monorail and monorails are powered by ELECTRIC motors and stuff.

Electro?

Yeah some will but look on the bright side it's something different. The premise is different. It won't be another Spider-Man 2

[zeptron]

According to the guy, he received an answer by mail from his cousin. If he's telling the truth, it looks like the villains will be Tombstone and Electro. He said his cousin confirmed it. However, even if I believe him, I'm ready with my grain of salt.

I'll be a bit disappointed if it's true. They're plenty other villains I'd rather see before Tombstone.

[BigSams50]

If the rumor is true and electro is the villian

http://i36.tinypic.com/k2jvhz.png

I for one hope he looks like this

[rocco2216]

Tombstone is a completely out of left field choice but then again so was Sandman, for me anyways. I like that it's not who we want or expect. Let Sam Raimi make the movie with whoever and whatever he has a passion for. It's only way it's guaranteed to be good if not great.

[zeptron]

Sandman wasn't that much of a surprise. Not long after SM2 came out both Raimi and Maguire said they liked him.

True

[Spidey_62]

This guy sounds pretty legit, we still won't know for sure for a little longer. If Electro is in it, I hope they don't tie him to Peter in any way. It was pretty lame when they did that in the MTV series. I hope they can take as much pages as they can from Spectacular, since they seemed to be pretty savvy to taking lots of ideas from TAS for the first 3 movies.

Tombstone would be an odd choice, but the guy is awesome. So you don't hear me complaining. And again, taking some stuff from Spectacular would be really smart here. They reinvigorated the character.

I agree, Spectacular Spider-Man is a great cartoon.

Definitively the best redesign I have ever seen that stays true to the classic look.

[zeptron]

Looks like Raimi is going with the crime lord route. He can't use Kingpin because of Fox, so he went with the next best thing.

[Oscorp]

Hopefully, he'll take inspiration from SSM regarding Tombstone. However, I'm not a fan of the SSM version of Electro, so I hope they do some good stuff for him.

[Spider-ManHero12]

Definitively the best redesign I have ever seen that stays true to the classic look. Agreed. It looks a bit like the Marel Knights suit.

[BigSams50]

:csad: Yea i know. It will prolly be a leather jacket and some jeans of something

[KILLING JOKER]

Hey, I'm sort of new to the Spider-man threads but I'm a fan of the frist 2 films and have recently grown very interested in the possibility of a good 4th film.

I have to say, I absouletely love the Lizard and Kraven idea. I would love if they went that direction. It has dramatic potential and alot of possible depth.

As far as Electro, I'm trying to imagine what that character will look like on the big screen. I like him as a villan but I'm thinking that's not who they are going to go with.

[TheWrathOfGod]

Does the world really need a fourth Spider-man by Raimi? Sam Raimi used to be one of my favorite directors. The slapstick humor/dark comedy of the Evil Dead trilogy, Darkman, and the atmospheric tone created by A Simple Plan really set him above the rest in Hollywood. Then Spider-man came. Sure it seemed great that the kid who used to shoot 16mm movies about getting raped with a stick was getting to make Spider-man, but as we saw with the third installment, he had a BIG fall from grace. Sam needs to go back to doing what he did best and give Spider-man a break. He’s been involved with the character for almost a decade! Let someone else have a shot. Sam should be focused on making more original projects like Drag Me to Hell, instead of milking the corporate studio system. Sam is a talented director, but Spider-man 4 will be even worse than the third. Any hope that you have for a decent fourth film will be destroyed by the simple need to make a quick buck.

[Carlo Comicus]

Tombstone is underrated and badass.

On the Gerry Conway stories, Tombstone was one of the best villain in the Spidey history. I think the Robbie Robertson storyline was great!!

for me, if their go the crime lord route, I'd prefer Slivermane (as along as they don't use the cyborg stuff)

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ Well, if the crime lord type thing involves killing Felecia's dad, then I say go with Tombstone. Silvermane could work though. I just think that if they want to pose a REALLY serious threat, they should go with Tombstone rather than having Silvermane be the crime lord, and quite possibly, become thge cyborg.

[Spider-Fan83]

I just never liked the whole Tombstone as a crime boss, thing
he works better as a thug/enforcer type

I know Slivermane isn't much of a physical threat himself,(I mean, I don't expect to see him and spidey duking it out,) but, he is still a very powerfull man, as more of a behind the scenes kinda guy

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ It's from the Art and Making of S-M3 book.

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ No Problem!

[HughJackFan420]

the only way i can see Vulture in a movie is if they do it like Web of Shadows.

[NinjaCarm]

TOMBSTONE !!!! ???? !!!! ???? !!!!
http://mimg.ugo.com/200709/2745/bigtrouble_screenshot.jpg

And Electro? With this Black Cat news, isn't that three villians? Or maybe it will be simply Felicia Hardey and not Black Cat until a future movie.

TOMBSTONE !!!! ???? !!!! ???? !!!!

Will everyone forget Vulture already, I just can't see some old guy facing Spider-Man, I'm sorry.

If it's Vulture ever in a movie he should be a young guy.

[GoldGoblin]

Crimelord and his henchman would be a good set of villains.And you don't have to go into it too deep of how they got their powers,just make it quick and simple.

If the crimelord is Tombstone,just say he was born with a birth defect that made him an albino with super strength,and if his henchman is Electro,just make it a thug who where's a costume to protect himself from the electric blasts that he shoots from his tech gauntlets.

Just hope we see Dr.Connors at least turning slowly into the Lizard,maybe a full glimpse of him at the end of the move.

[KurtMysterio]

UGGGGGGHH, Spidey 3 rumor flashbacks. OMG, aintitcool said Topher is playing Chameleon! OMG, some random dude on IMDB said that Carnage is going to be in it. OMG, my cousin's friend heard from some guy who heard from his sister it's going to be Lizard for sure!

Until we get something official, just consider it all speculation.

[HughJackFan420]

i'm going to call it....Lizard and Black Cat....that's it

oh and maybe a cliffhanger as to what's to come....like tieing in the symbiote saga into the series with a cliffhanger of Venom's return or an appearance of Cletus Kassady for the sake of the Venom spin-off

[Pac-Master]

Actress Romola Garai has also auditioned for Spider-Man 4:

http://www.worstpreviews.com/headline.php?id=15733&count=0

[SymbioticToxin]

^Hmm. Interesting. I don't think she'll get the rol, since McAdams is apparently at the top for the role. But how knows what could happen to change things.

and with that little tidbit about Black Cat first appearing to free her father from jail, they may just have it as a revenge thing, ya know since the dude that played Caradine is back in it too. Maybe she's her daughter and wants revenge, but flirts kinda at the same time to mess with his head.

so new news yet huh?

[Goran]

Interesting news on the frontpage:

Casting call: they're looking for a 2-3 year old toddler boy, caucasian, with RED HAIR!

Wonder what is this all about?

Maybe he's needed for a illusion created by Mysterio, showing Peter's and MJ's son??

[NewYorkSpider]

It would have to most certainly be Peter and MJ's son. I was also thinking about a flashback of Celtus Kasady as a young boy.

I'd also like to point out that they're asking for "twins", as well. Now, to quickly save some people from asking repeatedly about what that's about. Whenever movie studios look to making a film with a young child in it. They usually always look for a pair of twins to keep things convenient.

[Spider-Fan83]

I don't know about the red hair part, but, my first thought would be, Billy Connors

[thejon93]

I don't know about the red hair part, but, my first thought would be, Billy Connors
Boy, that'd sure be a dumb decision to have Billy be a baby and not a young boy. Especially if The Lizard is in this movie as one of the villains. How the hell would Billy be able to interact with the two characters properly?

Veeeeery interesting news. :up:

[HughJackFan420]

well at least its some news but i'm hoping it's a younger Cletus Kassady

[Sam Fisher]

Baby Carnage? No thanks:oldrazz:

[NewYorkSpider]

well at least its some news but i'm hoping it's a younger Cletus Kassady


This was my first thought. The only other thing I think it could be is Peter and MJ's son. Maybe an illusion from Mysterio like Goran said.

[Carlo Comicus]

I don't think it's Casady.

[HughJackFan420]

jeez i hope theres no Mysterio but i can wait for Carnage/Cletus Kassady for the Venom spin off

[I_am_iron_man]

I believe in Connors' son.

[HughJackFan420]

I believe in Connors' son.

wouldn't make sense they're specifically asking for a red haid kid not a blonde one

[SymbioticToxin]

What about Normie? For allw e know Norman could have had an affair adn another child to carry his elgacy thinknig Harry would fail (Which he kinda did)

[I_am_iron_man]

wouldn't make sense they're specifically asking for a red haid kid not a blonde one

You know, Sam Raimi it's not faithful to comics for the look of the chars. Maybe - in his mind - the Connor's son is a red-hair, do you understand?

[HughJackFan420]

nooooooo....i think the red headed kid is gonna play the most vicious villain ever.......
http://www.nefariousfilms.com/Images/Monsters/chucky.jpg

[Pac-Master]

Hmm...interesting news.

Even if someone did know a kid that fits the requirements, where would they send their audition? It doesn't give an email or anything.

[Showtime]

I believe in Connors' son.

I believe in Harvey Dent.

[zeptron]

It says it's supposed to be a two year old. I think Connors' son is a bit older than that.

[HughJackFan420]

it's a red headed step child that was neglected so much by Peter we finally see him in Spider-Man 4

[Spider-Fan83]

wouldn't make sense they're specifically asking for a red haid kid not a blonde one
maybe, they already have a red headed acrtess in mind for his wife, and want the kid to match

[HughJackFan420]

maybe but another red headed actress in the Spidey series? hmmm seems far fetched but who knows

It turns out they've been auditioning people since the summer. I came across this entry on the blog of Kristin Jann-Fischer where she talks about her experience.

I’m Telling Y’all it’s Sabotage

Sometimes I really don’t make the best choices.
Yesterday was filled with bad ones.

There was a random cattle call for Spider-man 4 yesterday here in Charlotte (yes…there will be a 4th). I was excited to be put on the list and given the opportunity to audition for the movie, set to start filming in February. I was not very excited about the fact that auditions didn’t start until 4pm and I had somewhere to be at 7pm a pretty hefty distance away.

I decided to show up early so I could get seen early and then not have to rush to my next fabulous thing (more on that later). There were no assigned times and a billion people showed up to this random Caribbean Restaurant (Really?) which could not hold us. They asked us to line up outside. It was 87 or more degrees. Yay.

I got a little nervous because I needed to stay pretty and I also needed to sing in a couple hours. The Casting Director was late and it was a very slow process. I finally got seen at 5:30 – the time I had decided I needed to leave. The CD was nice, I guess. But I read my monologue for him and was not asked to read it again on camera. Woohoo waste of time!

[Oscorp]

Maybe they want to build up Connors' character even more, for him to become Lizard in Spider-Man 5. Maybe Connors and his family will fill in the space that Harry left? They'll maybe be like Peter's ultimate support, his second family. Therefore, Connors' kid is only 2 years old and will maybe be like 5-6 or something in Spider-Man 5. I can see scenes where Peter is invited to Connors' house. Could be very sweet I think actually! Doing it this way, the whole Lizard storyline in Spider-Man 5 would have a greater effect because you'd feel more sympathy for both Peter, Curt and his family.

Even if the director for Spider-Man 5 wouldn't want to have the Lizard as a villain, he'd still have great already established support characters in Curt and his family.

[Spider-Fan]

Raimi wouldn't give MJ and Peter a kid without first showing the audience she was pregnant in a previous film, so you can write that off. I would guess the kid is either Connors' son or the son/brother of some minor character. We wouldn't just plop out MJ and Peter having a son without build up to it. Makes no sense, and it isn't Raimi's style with the films. He has been trying to explore the relationship. This would seem out of character for him to do.

I think speculation on this is getting blown out of proportion, and shows how badly we want to hear big news on SM4. Given how slow the hype has been.

It's been said that Hathaway playing the role is false though. Thing is this is the same person that said Townsend and Stevenson would be in Thor before Variety announced it.
