With the announcement that Snaggle Tooth...errr.. Flappy Jacks... errr.. Kirsten is back as MJ (GweMJ*cough*)... I truely fear for SM4 and the franchise as a whole.
Assuming, that Kirsten was actually "wooed" back as having an intricate role in SM4, and NOT simply coming back for the Cashcow Paycheck that is SM4 for her. And a BIG ASSUMPTION that is too.
But assuming it is true, that Kirsten has an intricate role in SM4, I fear. I fear because that means MORE all about "that girl". More at the expensive of Dr. Connors and the Connors Clan's development. Especially the development when it comes to Peter, as his adopted family he never truely had.
I fear that MJ's role in the film will once again give us a watered down villain and the villains Alter-ego. I fear it will once again, give us more emo Peter, or Saturday Night Peter (staying alive.. strutting his stuff), or pouty/crying face Peter.. over MJ and his/their relationship.
SHEEESH.. has Raimi even read one comic??? Just ONE???
I fear storyline will be sacrificed to satisfy the OVER inflated ego on one Kirsten (Snaggle Flappy

) Dunst.
The ONLY storyline that MJ could add to significantly, that would not simply be another spin/reshash of the WB dramatics we have seen in SM1-SM3 with Peter/MJ is.... Dare I Dream... MJ's death (in place of Gwen's death in this perverse timeline Raimi has spun). And of course... NOT at the hands of a Goblin either.. so much for the "Goblin Legacy". (Pity)
But I can only IMAGINE the crying that would come on these boards IF the "precious" MJ were to die, instead of Gwen. So... I DOUBT SERIOUSLY that Raimi has the balls, nor the will.. to be "Dragged to Hell" by the fans if he DARES to follow such a storyline (pun intended).
So... get our your WB "hankies" my fans... Good Times are here AGAIN (*NOT*)... with the signing of our BELOVED Snaggle...errr.. Flappy... errrr... Kirsten... to the "hollow"ed

role of GweMJ...errrr.. MJ.
And by the way Kirsten.. I will NOT hold my breath waiting on my Christmas Card from you this year.
