The Amazing Spider-Man Dunst "Definitely on board" Spider-Man 4

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

If this is already been brought up in another thread, just merge it or whatever. I just read this myself & decided to make a thread about it. Anyway....


Everyone's getting in on the action trying to guess what to expect from Sam Raimi's return to the Marvel superhero franchise with Spider-Man 4, slated for release on May 6, 2011. It's obviously still very early in development, but that didn't stop the New York Post from asking Sony producer Todd Black a few questions in order to clear up some of the rumors that have been circulating.

In the article, Black confirms that Kirsten Dunst is definitely on board, but that there are no plans to have a wedding between Peter Parker and Mary Jane in the forthcoming movie. He also squashed the rumors that Morbius the Living Vampire will be the villain in the movie, but that the villain will be very New York centric.

This is what he told the Post about the potential villain: "We're just coming up with who the villain's going to be now. We'll be shooting in New York again. Trust me, people will appreciate who we pick, because it'll be a big part of New York."

So who do you think the villain may be? In the article, they speculate it could be either Kraven the Hunter or the Kingpin, although one should probably assume the latter is still owned by Fox as part of the "Daredevil" deal. Still, maybe it will be some sort of New York City mob/crime storyline in the next movie, and there are plenty of Spider-Man villains that fit the bill like Hammerhead and The Enforcers.

[Hush]

Well what other projects does she really have going on? I mean seriously?

 

[FaT_tONle]

Still not confirmation... but I am not going to complain. Recasting one of the leads makes the public lose interest in an ongoing franchse, which they can not afford after SM3. Just do me a favor Kirsten, lay off the crack/heroine or whatever the hell you have been on the last five years so that you can actually look half way decent again.

I'm hope Raimi and company have better ideas for her character this time around. I didn't even recognize Mary Jane in Part 3...it was like she took stupid pills between films...the character didn't seem as smart or as mature, but only as a plot device to get from point A to B (i.e. neing used as bait AGAIN). Hell, I guess I could say that about all the characters in Part 3.

Well he's either lying or that script that was due recently has some very big holes in it!

I think it might be The Lizard - if only because of the grand tradition of setting monster movies in New York.

A BIG part of New York? What the hell is he talking about there? Someone that can threaten the entire city? Or someone who is literally a big figure as it is. Kingpin seems to fit the bill but they can't use him. And Kraven does not fit the bill at all from that description. I'm clueless.

So... Spider-Man's next adversary will be the Statue of Liberty?

I agree. I'm fine with her, anyway. I would prefer that she stays, anyway. I don't like casting changes.

I have no idea what they mean either.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Cool news! Hmmm, very New York centric? I'm thinknig the Lizard, but I'm really not sure.

 

[SP1D3RxV3N0M]

I can't be that bad this time.

Really, I'm with you here. Like what Spidey villian isn't connected to NYC?
Kraven is from Russia
All Spidey's major storylines are centered in NYC
What kind of clue is this? It's like saying Spidey will be fighting a bad guy, probably with green in his/her costume.
Sigh...

 

[SpeterMan3]

So... Spider-Man's next adversary will be the Statue of Liberty?

Nah, Mysterio at the Staue of Liberty, like in the SM2 game.

 

[Carlo Comicus]

I'm so happy about Kirsten return.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

I'm thinking it's either Hammerhead, Lizard, or Vulture. Maybe even kraven.

 

[TheScarecrow]

I hope it's not Hammerhead or someone similar. Boring...

Lizard is my bet. I think he's very New York.

 

[dark_b]

meeeeeeeeh. a big meeeeeh.

 

[The Joker]

Bad news there. I really dislike Kirsten as MJ.

But great news that Morbius is not the villain.

 

[Iron_Stark]

She better eat a hamburger or two and not look like a crack head.

Oh and dye her hair red again.

 

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

If only Raimi would tell her to gain some weight...

Catman can kiss MEW goodbye.

 

[SpideyTheBest]

I'm fine with Kirsten. I hate recasts.

But, we have something to look forward to if there is a reboot in the next 10 years. A better MJ.

And yes! Morbius is not the villain! I'm happy! I suppouse that the villain is the Lizard. I'm fine with that but I hope they will pick another villain too.

 

[TheScarecrow]

I think Kirsten cops a lot of flack for things which might not be her fault. Does anyone not think she was a great MJ in the first one? It's not that she can't play MJ, it's that she's being told not to. Raimi has been trying to create drama and make the character something she isn't.

Die her hair bright red, tell the girl to put a smile on her face and half the battle will be over with.

AND stop dressing her like she's a frumpy woman from the 40's.

 

[Ol'Canucklehead]

NOOOOOOOOOOO! Why god why? Can't we get a talented actress with good looks?? I mean is it really so hard? Every other movie studio in America seems to manage, so why the hell can't Spider-Man get on the ball? Don't they understand that Dunst is one of the big things that helped turn Spider-Man into an emo, whinny little *****?? Her chemistry with Tobey practical makes your feel like you're watching a rape scene every time they are seen together! I say boycott if this crap keeps up, GIMME A DAMN REBOOT!

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

Only villain that comes to mind from that is The Lizard. And its nice to see Dunst is confirmed...the one person I don't care about coming back.

 

[Spidey 2007]

good to hear that Dunst is probably coming back.

 

[chamber-music]

can't they just leave MJ out for one movie. Have her go to LA or something it worked for Superman. I would rather have Bryce Dallas Howard back as love intrest for a film.
