The Amazing Spider-Man Michael Papajohn Returning for Spider-Man 4?

[Reikowolf]

I always liked how Papajohn delivered the 'thanks' line in the first movie.

It was done with a sad desperate delivery which made the viewer somewhat sympathize with him, added with the contrast of how mean the wrestling manager acted.

This Carnage idea...:facepalm

Let's use some villains who don't suck

I really like Carnage, but I don't think he should be used in this franchise. As I've said many times, save him for the Venom spin-off film.

 

[Spider-Fan]

The idea of having Carnage be the Burglar from the first movies is just kind of rediculous. If you're going to use Carnage, better can be done.

I also think Carnage is a particularly shallow character, and a character like Lizard, Mysterio, Kraven, etc. can bring more depth to a film than Carnage can. Carnage being used would tell me that this is another studio production, like Venom in SM3. Someone like Lizard or Mysterio will tell me this is Raimi's film.

Even though I think Carnage is awesome, I do agree that those Villians are better.

This isn't big news for me ... Yet.

This could just be a simple flashback scene for all we know.

Exactly. It could also be a case of (if Mysterio is in it) that hallucination will force Peter to relive one of the worst moments of his life. No big deal people.

I see that some SM Fans are obsessed with characters always returning and even minor ones. Why does everyone have to return? LET IT GO already! FFS!~

I tell you what: how about every character from SM1 returns? Would be damn awesome ..............NOT!

 

[GoldGoblin]

It could be when the movie begins and you see images of the things that happened from previous movies,that it is just different images of the original Uncle Ben killer that we never saw before,and thats it.

I always liked that line too. Great delivery on Papajohn's part. Pun not intended.

Oh god...

 

[dark_b]

can you imagine? that he would be alive and that the focus would be on this guy?
there would have to be some insane action to get me in the theater.

If Raimi is really planning on going back to the Uncle Ben scene to retcon away again, that is truly the worst thing for this movie. When you do something people don't like, like the SM3 Sandman/Uncle Ben retcon and plot, and tons of people are pissed about the whole thing and want you off the series but a good deal of other people just want you to start fresh and get it right next time, the worst thing you could do is TRY TO FIX IT in anyway. Just move away from it completely. Raimi is just going to dig himself further. If Papajohn is in the movie for anything other than a flashback, then I will finally believe that Rami just got lucky on SM1 and 2.

 

[SpideyTheBest]

Ugh to all of this.

And here I was hoping that Spider-Man 4 will be at least just as good as the first two or possibly great. The whole "Sandman killing Uncle Ben" was the thing I hated the most in Spider-Man 3.

I'm not feeling well. Either way, this is just stupid!

 

[UltimateJustin]

Has Raimi forgotten the first two were great based on the characters and the story of the films, and that this series does not need to constantly over-reference itself. I wonder how they are going to work "the kiss" into this one. By the time this movie comes out, the first Spiderman movie will be ten years old. Please move on.

 

[Eggyman]

It wouldn't be the first time an actor has made their lil role more than it is when questioned about it. I'm not worried.

 

[david icke]

Yeah, I thought it was possible he wasn't dead and would be back in some plot. I doubt Raimi is trying to undo the Sandman retcon, I think it'll more be along the lines of Pete being confronted by the guy, facing up to the fact he blamed the wrong guy for Ben's death, and could have maybe stopped him from dropping out that window. Strong possibility that the guy has figured out his secret ID, maybe tries to blackmail him or something.

In any case, I'll wait and see, it could be interesting and stop the plot being one of only a cops and (sympathetic)robbers scenario.

I'd have to agree 100%, Raimi is just going to dig himself further unless they move away from the origins completely. You don't even need flashbacks, look forward, not backwards.

 

[Gallagher]

First thing I thought was maybe they're going the Spectacular Spider-Man route with the character.

:facepalm

The Spider-Man franchise needs fresh new ideas, not more rehashing of the previous films. Spider-Man 2 and 3 kept coming back to and changing Uncle Bens death over and over again and it seems Spider-Man 4 will probably be going the same way.
I hope this guy is just really really over-exaggerating his role or that it ends up being Chameleon or Mysterio tormenting Peter.
