LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- "Spider-Man 4" will start shooting in January 2010, Bruce Campbell told Access Hollywood at his "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs" premiere on Saturday.
The actor, who has a long relationship with director Sam Raimi via his lead role in the "Evil Dead" trilogy, made memorable cameos in the first three "Spider-Man" films.

However, he may have a bigger role this time around. Bruce told Access that in the next installment in the superhero franchise, he's been told he has a major part - but didn't yet know anything about his character.
The villain - or villains -- for the movie have yet to be revealed, though some fans have speculated that Bruce could take on the role of Mysterio - the master of illusion.

The film, the follow-up to 2007's "Spider-Man 3," is due in May 2011.

Hmm, awesome news, indeed. Though, I defenitely wouldn't say he's the Villian. It's good to know he'll have a bigger role/bigger cameo. :spidey::up:

[The Joker]

And here's where fans go nuts again with the idea that Bruce will be Mysterio :doh:

[VenomVsSpidey]

this is awesome! but still, no mysterio..please? i'm campaining gor..um..whatshisface??....:liz::liz::liz::liz:

[Spidey_62]

More Bruce Campbell is definitely a good thing. January isn't too far away, either.

[American_Hobo]

Starts shooting in just 4 months.
Good news indeed.
Hope we get villain news pretty soon.

[Spider-ManHero12]

It's good to know it's January and not Febuary or March.

It's so close! :up:

[FaT_tONle]

I think he'll be playing Beck, but he won't be in costume.

[omid17]

Hopefully Tobey can start hitting the gym again, he only has around 4 months to get ready

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ Maybe he's doing right now while he's filming his new movie.

[Vis]

I'd really like to hear some details about the next film from someone like the script writers. Someone who would give some details into how the next film is different from the previous movies. Sony's going to wait until someone out scoop them, like a script leak from someone inside their own studio.

Who cares what Bruce Campbell or the likes have to say, what's next, we're going to hear from Ted Raimi about his role being bigger? This news means nothing more than MORE GOOFBALL antics in the SM4! Something that needs to be completely eliminated.

Damn, I wish we had real film makers who doesn't waste time--with a bunch of useless information that fuels nothing but idiotic speculations.

[bubbadoom]

Smells like Kraven to me!

[louiebling$]

Wow So Thor and SF4 start filming in January...I PREDICT SOME SERIOUS Hype! Lag in January :argh:

[SpideyZERO]

Interesting. At least a little bit of news

[spider-neil]

doesn't he say this before every movie?

[Goran]

I expect him to be a minor villain at the beginning of the film :)

[Oscorp]

http://omg.yahoo.com/news/bruce-campbell-spider-man-4-shooting-in-january-villainous-role-in-the-works/27696


He could be the priest marrying Peter and MJ. He could be Dr. Connors assistant. He could be Quentin Beck. He could be a disguised Chameleon. There are many possible roles for him. I really hope Mysterio is in the film, but I certainly hope it's not played by Bruce Campbell. I wouldn't be able to take him seriously. Though, who am I to judge that in advance? He may play the role great.

[Casius--J]

I just want some villain news very soon!

I doubt he'll be playing one, probably somebody as oscorp suggested like priest marrying peter and mj.

[Spade]

And here's where fans go nuts again with the idea that Bruce will be Mysterio :doh:

Was just about to post that. "Great minds" and such. :woot:

I'm down with Bruce playing a bigger role. That chin has made otherwise unwatchable B-movies watchable and made the Evil Dead franchise awesome. Why not? :awesome:

I don't take Mysterio seriously to begin with, so who better?

[Pac-Master]

Wow, I'm excited that its all gonna start in January. LET IT BEGIN!!!!!! :awesome::awesome::awesome:

[King of Kings]

I don't take Mysterio seriously to begin with, so who better?

^^ This.

[Oscorp]

I don't take Mysterio seriously to begin with, so who better?

You don't take him seriously, I take him seriously. When written seriously, Mysterio has proven to be one of the coolest Spidey-villains (though, that's debatable, but I and many others think so). It's just his design that might make people take him as a joke character. Also, villains in movies should be serious and not just some funny goofballs, unless they're introduction villains like Rhino, but Mysterio definitely isn't one of those kind of villains.

[Doctor Jones]

Awesome. But for the love of God, lets stop with the Mysterio ****.

[Kane52630]

More Bruce Campbell is definitely a good thing. January isn't too far away, either.

:up:

[Oscorp]

Awesome. But for the love of God, lets stop with the Mysterio ****.

Why? It's definitely on topic, as that is one of the possibilities, even if I think Bruce would more likely be something more minor.

[Symbiotic]

Awesome. But for the love of God, lets stop with the Mysterio ****.Campbell for Quentin Beck! :cwink:

[Batman137]

YES!!! January here we come! possibly SM4 set in the winter time? I know they wanted to do that with SM3, but production messed it up. Hopefully I can get up to NYC to see some filming that would be an awesome birthday present (:

[Aesop Rocks]

Bruce Campbell is probably going to try to black mail Spider-Man.

Mr. Reese, this isn't Gotham.

[Wams]

It would be cool if Bruce will be a known villain like Mysterio. Then story could be that...
Mystyrio had Spider-man captured and drugged in a hallucination state.... and it made him believe...
that Eddie Brock turned into Venom , Marry Jane was a bad singer on Broadway ,Harry became Goblin Jr and the Sandman killed his uncle...Then we can get to the real story that happens ....
Mysterio is making the ultimate snuff film staring Spider-man
and M hires some muscle to do the snuffing...Rhino and Kraven the hunter..
Mysterio also uses Mary Jane and Aunt May as bait to have Spidey follow through his already set up "game of death" senario in a old delapadated carnival..
then to make it even harder for Web Head it shoud be a tripple jepordy and have J.J's life at stake as well in Mysterio's insane game.
That would give
Spidey all the more reason kick all the a_s_s and then some.:word:

[Spider-ManHero12]

possibly SM4 set in the winter time?(: That would kick ass beyond words! :up:

[zeptron]

If done right Mysterio could give Spidey and the audience a mind****. There's so many possibilities. He could be like Scarecrow and use his gas to make Spidey go crazy. He did in the comics.

And please no Campbell as Mysterio. After all the quirky comedic cameos I wouldn't be able to take him seriously in that role.

[Solidus]

People still think he's going to be Mysterio eh?

Glad to hear that he will have a slightly bigger role. No movie can have too much Bruce. :cwink:

[Sentinel X]

Awesome. But for the love of God, lets stop with the Mysterio ****. I don't see how it is a bad idea...he would make a great mysterio and it would be nice for sam raimi fans.

I personally think it would be pretty cool, especially given his cameos in SM1 and SM2.

btw zeptron mentioned how he wouldnt be able to take mysterio seriously because of bruce's comedic cameos....well, Mysterio is kind of an over the top character as it is. And given his ability to cause illusions, it wouldn't be hard to make him come across as very threatening when he needs to be.

[spider-neil]

if bruce is given more screen time I hope it is as a supporting cast member rather than a villian, if the villian is as expected the lizard then it (the lizard) with need lots of time to develop, time that will be spread too thin if there is another villian to devlope (from scratch) in the movie. I really hope sam has learnt his lesson from spider-man 3.

[Spider-ManHero12]

I don't see how it is a bad idea...he would make a great mysterio and it would be nice for sam raimi fans. Very true, and who's to say tha Mysterio can't be scary even if Bruce is playing him?

[Adrian89]

YES!!! January here we come! possibly SM4 set in the winter time? I know they wanted to do that with SM3, but production messed it up. Hopefully I can get up to NYC to see some filming that would be an awesome birthday present (:
That would be a good start on trying DIFFERENT things with this franchise!;)

Agree that I'd prefer Campbell to remain as a minor character. I think him being some kind of an assistant to Dr. Connors would be awesome. He would be awesome as the priest too, but I don't want them to marry just yet.

Very true, and who's to say tha Mysterio can't be scary even if Bruce is playing him?

Thing is, it's nothing against his acting abilities for me. It's just that whenever I see him, I think of this funny comedian. I think Quentin Beck should be taken seriously as a scary threat, and therefore, I just don't think Bruce fit. However, as I also said before, I'm not going to judge anything in advance. It might turn out great. If so, then I'm a pleased guy since Mysterio is one of my favourite villains :woot:

[Hush]

He says this before every Spidey film, He named him in the first one overpowered him in the second and ruined him in the third. In the fourth hopefully pete gets the upper-hand.

[VenomVsSpidey]

Smells like Kraven to me!

[NewYorkSpider]

I love Bruce Campbell, but I seriously hope he's not Mysterio. I'm wondering if Chameleon is going to play a big role in Spider-Man 4?

[The Joker]

Gosh I hope they announce the villains soon, so we can put these Mysterio theories to rest.....AGAIN!

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ I think the best bet that they'll announce the VIllians is probably in November.

[American_Hobo]

I still think villain will be Electro.

[Solidus]

Gosh I hope they announce the villains soon, so we can put these Mysterio theories to rest.....AGAIN!

LOL, probably won't stop the speculation. You will hear up to the day of release, I saw Mysterio's reflection in his eye piece ;) lol. But yea that is why I don't stick on movie forums so early in development, the speculation just is too much for me sometimes. But I'm not saying people can't speculate to all of you out there. It's just why I wait for filming to start to really start looking at the forums for em.

[Construct]

I think it would make sense for him to be Mysterio, but for this movie, I hope that he'd establish himself as Quentin Beck at the most to set the stage for Mysterio's appearance(s?) in the fifth (and sixth) movie.

[Spiderine]

Hmm, bigger role huh. Sounds like more comedic slapstick and role playing shananigans from Bruce. Same ole same ole.......

[Zaron]

This makes me nervous. I love Bruce but there's such a thing as too much of a good thing.

[HughJackFan420]

i for one am going against for every fan boy having egasms over Mysterio. i'm not a fan of Mysterio i would prefer a hilarious role for Bruce Campbell like the last few installments. "That's what I said Pecker" classic

[UnionJack]

Might be nice to see Bruce be less slap-stick and maybe be mean or something to turn him in Mysterio in a later film.

[Spidey-Quad]

Campbell = Kraven or Quartermain

Who's is Quinten?

Btw, I'm one who never liked Mysterio, give me a powerhouse villain anytime.

[FaT_tONle]

If it's Chameleon then that would give me hope that Kraven will be in it as well but I don't see either character showing up.

[Reikowolf]

Not as a villain but the introduction of Quentin Beck. Works on a movie set for MJ's break-out movie. come on come on!

[VenomVsSpidey]

i for one am going against for every fan boy having egasms over Mysterio. i'm not a fan of Mysterio i would prefer a hilarious role for Bruce Campbell like the last few installments. "That's what I said Pecker" classic


:up:

[HughJackFan420]

i totally disagree with making Bruce Campbell also b/c of the roles he's played thus far. i mean he's appeared as cameos as different characters so i doubt highly they will make him a villain. maybe a more important and definitely role but not a villain

[Vis]

Bruce Campbell and Mysterio both suck.

An actor who will bring more cheese to the franchise than the previous films.

A villain who is a CGI nightmare for a production team that already uses too much useless and unnecessary CGI as it is.

This combination is why this franchise will continue to dwindle in quality. :dry:

[VenomVsSpidey]

Bruce Campbell.... suck.

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ Agreed.

[Vis]

I'd like to rid the franchise of Bruce Campbell and Ted Raimi. What, is everybody suppose to like Bruce Campbell, he's camp?

[bullets]

Yes.



Also I'd love to see Bruce Campbell in Spider-man 4 as a cameo or villian.

[FaT_tONle]

Cambell owned the **** out of his roles thus far, although his character didn't do much for me in SM3 humor wise. I agree he would camp it up if he was a full blown villain, but if they need extended comic relief then it MIGHT work. I guess they tried that already with Topher perhaps unintentionally for Eddie Brock of all characters. Maybe they'd be better off paying another younger comedic actor for a supprting role though.

[Spidey_62]

Seriously, those words don't belong in the same sentence.:woot:

:nono:


:argh: :wall:

[sPiDeRmAn2o29]

if for any reason bruce was going to have a MAJOR role, they so gave away which villian. When a fan asked bruce campbell if he would play mysterio for spider-man 4, his response was whats a mysterio. Now look at the headline below for hints...

not saying that his character will be a main villian because we dont know that for sure but, it does say MAJOR role, Not cameo or reg role. Plus, his cameo roles have been in all three films and my question is, why a major role in the fourth film if all of the others were cameos ? ? ?


Source: Access Hollywood

According to Access Hollywood, actor Bruce Campbell has announced that Spider-Man 4 will start shooting in January 2010.

Campbell, who has a long-time friendship with director Sam Raimi, made memorable cameos in the first three Spider-Man films.

However, the actor has been told that he will have a major part this time around, but didnt yet know anything about his character. Fans have speculated that he could take on the role of Mysterio, the master of illusion.

Spider-Man 4 is due in May 2011.

didnt know anything yet about his character... meaning that he does know which character he will play but, knows nothing about the character. I think he is getting a major role this time due to fans annoying him with the cameo questions. On his perspective, they werent really cameos because he named the character, defeated the character, then helped the character. I know he wailed on me about it when I mentioned cameos but youtube bruce campbell answers and questions and you will see what I am talking about.

[Spidey_62]

:huh::huh:
:o I was talking about the Bruce Campbell sucks post. Guess it would've helped if I quoted his post instead of yours.

you, sir, have caused me to abandon all tact and reason as i respond to this.

ahem... *straightens tie and looks at note card* You suck.

You don't take him seriously, I take him seriously. When written seriously, Mysterio has proven to be one of the coolest Spidey-villains (though, that's debatable, but I and many others think so). It's just his design that might make people take him as a joke character. Also, villains in movies should be serious and not just some funny goofballs, unless they're introduction villains like Rhino, but Mysterio definitely isn't one of those kind of villains.

Any character, expect Walrus, can be cool when written seriously, but I'd much rather see any number of villains in the movies BEFORE Mysterio. But Mysterio's a pretty good choice for an introduction villain, like you said.

I believe Mysterio's pure cheeseball. Bruce Campbell is the best kind of cheesball. That sounds pretty damn enjoyable to me.

[Vis]

So you like CHEESE, just great, how about some more crying, singing and dancing to go with that?

[david icke]

So you like CHEESE, just great, how about some more crying, singing and dancing to go with that?

Cheeseballness is just one form of humour. It's a very rare occasion when a Spider-man book does not have some funny incident/s going on in them that are a part of daily life. Bruce Campbell is a very funny guy and I'm glad he's in there handling the funny.

I'm not really into the idea of Mysterio as a villan, but on the other hand thinking about it, the illusions could be some great visuals and be something totally new to the franchise. I suppose i've always just found Mysterio's illusion technology somehwta unbelievable in the books to an extent(ironic as he has no superpowers), but I just woinder if this would be more unbelievable in a movie, and maybe a bit Scooby-Doo when at the end spidey finds out it's all been done with projectors, smoke and mirrors etc.

[Carlo Comicus]

Meanwhile...Today I have add Campbell on the Spider-man 4 cast list on imdb under the voice "Unknown role" and "rumored"

[Spider-Kid]

hehe, I sure hope he does play as Mysterio...no more symbiote crap unless Venom is in it again...lawl.

[VenomVsSpidey]

no symbiotes till AFTER six, when the franchise is restarted (no, im not saying reboot)...and no mysterio..plz raimi?

^^ Wait, you don't like Mysterio, lol?

naw, i think mysterio's cool. he's a great WTF? villian to spidey, but i'm praying for :liz::liz::liz::liz::liz::liz:

He should play Ash in a hallucination Peter has. :D

I don't know who's a more useless villain BLACK CAT or MYSTERIO. Both should never see the light of day on film.

[bullets]

Yes , Black Cat and Mysterio would be awesome in a Spider-Man flick , great suggestions Vis

[VenomVsSpidey]

he said they should never be in a spider-flick...

[Carlo Comicus]

The character of Felicia Hardy was included in a early storyline for SM2. I remember the name of an actress make an audition for the role: Brooke Adams. This actress is missing, then.

[david icke]

Scooby-Doo is an excellent way of describing Bruce Campbell and especially MYSTERIO. I don't know who's a more useless villain BLACK CAT or MYSTERIO. Both should never see the light of day on film.

I never described Bruce Campbell as 'Scooby-Doo', in fact I wasn't talking about a Bruce Campbell Mysterio there at all, just commenting on the character. I just think it's a risky character to do onscreen, which if badly executed could come off as as a Scooby-Doo reveal at the end.

As for BC as Mysterio, I honestly don't know if it would be a good idea, I wouldn't want him to be quite so comic relief-y if he was. If his role is a larger one I doubt he will be like the other cameos so much, they are more one-off joke kind of roles.

[bullets]

I'm sure they could find a way to pull off both characters.

[Reikowolf]

plot to spider-man 4 should be that they are making a spider-man movie heh

that would be interesting if bruce played the director.

then of course, kraven gets the actor mixed up with the real deal... and the lizard plays out as kraven's ultimate hunt.

[GhostPoet]

Have Spidey defeat some small time supervillain in the beginning, unmask him and it's Bruce! Spidey would be like "YOU!??"

[Venom 1988]

^^
That's horribly cheesy

[Vis]

I never described Bruce Campbell as 'Scooby-Doo', in fact I wasn't talking about a Bruce Campbell Mysterio there at all, just commenting on the character.I guess that was just me then, when you combined Bruce Campbell with Mysterio I immediately think of Scooby-Doo.

Bruce Campbell + Mysterio = Scooby-Doo

[Spider-Vader]

Scooby-Doo is an excellent way of describing Bruce Campbell and especially MYSTERIO. I don't know who's a more useless villain BLACK CAT or MYSTERIO. Both should never see the light of day on film.
Black Cat is more of a hero, than a villain. She just steals.

[Vis]

Black Cat is more of a hero, than a villain. She just steals.
If she steals, then she's a villain.

An annoying and useless Catwoman love interest type villain, but a villain none-the-less.

[The Joker]

Yeah, Sandman was just a petty thief in SM-3, and he was a villain. Heck, he was stealing for a noble cause, too. Black Crappy steals because she likes it.

[chaseter]

Bruce has said his role has been important for each movie. In SM1, he named Spider-Man. In SM2, Bruce said he defeated Spider-Man. Everyone went crazy and all he ended up being was an usher. In SM3, Bruce was again said his role will be important. And he was a waiter...

I wouldn't get too excited for this until we get a confirmation.

Bruce is not Beck

Chaseter, I couldn't agree more. :up:

Bruce having a major role in SM4 is the equivalent of him being a lab assistant, knocking over and spilling vials of enzymes and Lizard DNA, on the lab table, while no one is looking. Quickly wiping the spilled mixture into Connors coffee mug, and craftily, sneeking out the lab as if nothing happen. Connors drink from the mug, call it a day, goes home and fall asleep on the couch, toss & turn, turn into Lizard. And at the World Premire, Bruce reveal his major role was creating Spidey's new nemesis.... in a comedic way, once again.

;)

Exactly , we get the same runaround each time . There is realy nothing to speculate. I think it's cool that Bruce Campbell is in it , at least we know that much.

[chaseter]

I am not getting my hopes too high for this movie. After I was let down with SM3, I am taking a more realistic approach to this movie. That way, I won't be let down if it is bad and if it is good, then it will be even better:up:

[Weadazoid]

Seems to me it would make the most sense for him to be the Chameleon....

In what way?I just think that Campbell would do a great job playing that villian, he's got that craziness in him,if that makes any sense, Cletus is pretty much a pyschopath, would love to see that side of Campbell if he were to play that role

[Spider-Kid]

if they're gonna make Carnage, at least have VENOM back in....

Either save Carnage for the Venom movie or don't use him at all. The most recognized story featuring Carnage is when Spidey actually teams up with Venom to take him down. Carnage was made as a mere plot device for Venom. To show Venom's other side, his desire to save the innocent. He was created FOR Venom. Unless they decide to bring Venom back to life(which I'm against), it would be stupid and pointless to bring such a flat and one-dimensional character into the movies by himself.

Why should Venom(A character who actually has depth) only get like eight minutes of screentime, but a one-note character like Carnage gets a whole movie? That'll be an even bigger slap in the face to Venom fans who were disappointed with how he was handled in SM3.

Or how about we just stay away from symbiots altogether.

Raimi's sentiments exactly, I reckon :cwink:

[Adrian89]

if they're gonna make Carnage, at least have VENOM back in....
Shut up.:cwink:

[Brimay]

I can see Campbell playing Cletus Cassidy

I could see Jackie Earle Haley playing Cletus Cassidy but Bruce Campbell , not in the slightest.

[Spider-Kid]

Shut up.:cwink:


:whatever: come on...

And yeah, I can see Bruce playing Cletus Cassady.

I wonder if this picture will attract any Spidey 4 fanboys.

[Spider-Kid]

Mysterio: I...AM....MYSTERIO!!!
Spidey: Gee, I had a bowl of Mysterio's for breakfast this morning.

I think Campbell would be better as Mysterio.

[Paroxysm]

I think it's possable that Bruce could have been the Chameleon all those times. Who knows for sure?

[Eggyman]

I think it's possable that Bruce could have been the Chameleon all those times. Who knows for sure?

Raimi.

[Oscorp]

I think it's possable that Bruce could have been the Chameleon all those times. Who knows for sure?

It would've been very foolish and unprofessional of him to have had the same face all the time though.

[Paroxysm]

No one in the movie noticed, maybe he kept the same face so that we would notice.

[bullets]

He's not the Chameleon. Nothing he has done in these movies indicates criminal activity .

[NewYorkSpider]

Impossible. Raimi wasn't signed on for Spider-Man 4 and 5 untill this year. I think that Campbell was just in every movie for a cameo.

[Paroxysm]

It was just an idea, lol it would have been pretty cool.

[NewYorkSpider]

It was just an idea, lol it would have been pretty cool.


It's still possible to use Campbell as Chameleon if that's the direction they are going in. I just don't think that he was meant to be a villian in the first three movies.

[Spider-ManHero12]

He's not the Chameleon. Nothing he has done in these movies indicates criminal activity . Exactly my thoughts.

[RustyCage]

Bruce is always teasing us with this very same song and game, guys. :P

[Spider-Kid]

Bruce is Mysterio. That is that. :cmad:

[rocco2216]

Nobody is signed on for 5 at all. They've only hired James Vanderbilt to write the script for 5 and 6.

[The Slang]

Huh? Chameleon? But Bruce looked the same in each movie... that doesn't really make ANY sense.

Mysterio? If they do make bruce into quentin beck, his character would be appearing for the first time... The ring announcer, the usher and the waiter were never intended to be the same person. It's common for sloppy directors to let all their friends/loved ones make appearances.

[Leenie]

More screen time for Bruce Campbell? No complaints here!

EXCLUSIVE: Sam Raimi Confirms Bruce Campbell Will Have 'Meaty Role' In 'Spider-Man 4' (http://splashpage.mtv.com/2009/10/19/exclusive-sam-raimi-confirms-bruce-campbell-will-have-meaty-role-in-spider-man-4/)
As soon as I asked Raimi this question, he burst into laughter, as you can hear if you click on the video in this post. "I promised him we would write something because I really love putting him in the pictures," he then said. "I promised him a good, meaty role."
So there's your confirmation that Campbell will indeed have a significant part in "Spider-Man 4." But might that mean he'll play a villain—possibly Mysterio—as some web speculation has suggested? As of now, nothing is set in stone.
Of what role the actor will eventually play, Raimi admitted, "I don't even know what it is yet."

[LightningFlash]

Spider-Man 1 - He names Spidey.
Spider-Man 2 - He keeps Peter away from seeing MJ's play.
Spider-Man 3 - He "supposedly" wants to help out Peter by proposing to MJ.

IF, and IF Bruce is indeed playing Chameleon, then it would kinda make sense...I mean, the Spider-Man series have had much worse plots then this, but when Bruce was in the first film, he most likely got to see the real names of the fighters...and with him naming him 'Spider-Man' and Spidey quickly becoming a hero, then he(Bruce) would know who Peter is, and who his main love is, MJ, thus keeping him away from MJ's play, just to mess with his head, and then "helping" Peter out, because Peter is in love with her...and if Chameleon is in movie 4 and Bruce is indeed the villain, then Chameleon could have a very "meaty" role in the film, knowing who Spidey is already, knowing that Peter is still dating MJ, and knowing about MJ now.

Just speculation.

so...he'll play a butcher?

[Venom 1988]

As I said in another thread....

The reporter also forgot to say that Raimi has no idea what role it could be yet. So hes not a villain that's for sure, (Thank you Jeebus)

There's quite a gap of time between the wrestling fight and Spider-man making his debut.
I'm sure they don't hold onto those enrolement sheets for any length of time.
(edit: and he seems oblivious to who each fighter is until they are standing right next to him, 'What's your name kid?', surely they would have the fighter's stage name written next to his real one, and if he was to read up on names the only one he would be concerned with would be the stage name to announce, and he doesn't even know that.)
If they stretched that one out it would be the worst plot of any superhero movie I've ever heard of, never mind Spider-man series alone.


and who his main love is, MJ, thus keeping him away from MJ's play, just to mess with his head, and then "helping" Peter out, because Peter is in love with her...and if Chameleon is in movie 4 and Bruce is indeed the villain, then Chameleon could have a very "meaty" role in the film, knowing who Spidey is already, knowing that Peter is still dating MJ, and knowing about MJ now.

Just speculation.

If indeed BC ever plays a villan or other roles in SM films, I hope they have the good sense to 'maintain the illusion' that he's been playing entirely different human beings in each of the 3 films so far.

[Spider-ManHero12]

Awesme to know Sam confirmed Bruce's role! I wonder what it could be? I mean, I think as of now, hi mbeing a villian is out of the question.

[LightningFlash]

A bigger stretch than Flint Marko's storyline? Or the smybiote attaching itself to Peter without an explanation? Or the change of the career of Dr. Connors that wasn't needed? Lol.

So would you prefer him to be Mysterio instead? Just of the "illusion" aspect?

[Venom 1988]

[LightningFlash]

I honestly think Raimi should've given Bruce a villain role in the first place. His voice just screams "Mysterio" to me for some reason. Maybe because he sounds like the way Mysterio sounded back in the 2000 Spider-Man game for PS and N64.

Assuming the producers and, more importantly, the studio let that happen. I've always assumed that Raimi post 1990 (the year he made DARKMAN) has always been willing to give Campbell bigger roles in his projects, indeed including the lead role in the aformentioned movie, but the major studios have time and time again basically nixed the idea of Bruce in a huge part.

[Rodrigo90]

Heres what I think would be the best approach.

Bruce as either a disguise of Chameleon or a disguise of Mysterio...NOT the main guy.

Imagine. Peter thinking hes going mad and goes to see a psychiatrist...there he is...Dr Campball. It would be a bigger part...but I wouldnt want him as Quentin. Or have both Mysterio and Chameleon team up to destroy Spidey and Chameleon uses Bruce as the disguise.

[mothy]

i've always wondered if peter remembers this guy from his past meetings. i think you would have to. in the restaurant scene in spider-man 3, campbell's character states he is french. which of course, he is stone faced lying.

In keeping to the "Humor" that Bruce brings to the series... I would like to see, "IF" Mysterio was the villain, Peter and MJ attends a Halloween Party and MJ introduces Peter to Bruce, who is dressed like Mysterio; but is not Quentin Beck. Just to mess with the paying audience... give the fan-boys what they want. :hehe:;)

[Batman137]

i think i would really like to see mysterio. But bruce campbell shouldn't play him.

[Jick09]

Where did this idea of Bruce playing Mysterio come from?
I don't know why some are so keen with this idea.

[Rodrigo90]

It would be disrespectful to Mysterio. I dont want him to be a cheap Campball thrill. NO WAY was Mysterio some weirdo who stalked Peter Parker and assumed different alias's and jobs in the comics. Bruce should stick to the delightful cameos. Peter should NEVER think its the same guy,just different people who look exactly alike and provide humour.

I want Mysterio to be exactly how he is,from the source of material that he was created from.

Whoever thought that just because Bruces cameos was intended to be the same mysterious guy...well you are wrong. Bruce specifically plays a different person all the time. He was never intended to be "the mysterious Peter Parker stalker"...Whoever generated that idea...Watch your back.

If Bruce wasnt the cameo guy,then I wouldve loved him as a proper Mystero...You wouldnt like it if Raimis cameo kids turned out to be villains would you?

[bullets]

Bruce Campbell says at the end of his Spider-man cameo in SM2 that" it's all part of the illusion". I think Raimi threw that in there to get us all going.
I don't think Mysterio would ever be the main villian so why wouldn't it be cool to have Bruce do it. I woul probably never happen anyway.

[Deaths Head II]

I really doubt Bruce will play any real role in the films, much less as a villain. He's only there to play the funny cameo. He played three different characters and I doubt Quentin Beck shuffles through jobs that quickly.

I honestly don't think that that is a reference to Mysterio. It's not a very unusual thing to say considering Peter would have interrupted the show in progress.

[bullets]

It's probably not but it could be read that way . There really isn't anything to even suggest Bruce is a villian and it's just wishful thinking on behalf of the fans . Bruce made a crack about it and everyone ran away with it. Bruce is awesome though so I wouldn't mind seeing him do it as a minor villian .
