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

It wasn't Rami who said anything about the villain.

Rami didn't know who the villain was...if he does know- it is a recent development 'cause he should have just received the script.

It was producer Todd Black who told the New York Post that: "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" (June 6th, 2009).

And even then, they were allegedly "just coming up with who the villain" was going to be.

The whole "big part of New York" isn't really a bankable clue at all. It could be Lizard (the sewers), Scorpion (rooftop battles), Vulture (mid air sky battles), Hydro-Man (takes over the Hudson or something), Silvermane, Hammerhead, Kingpin (crimeboss runs city), or basically ANY OTHER VILLAIN in the mythos. Every villain has a New York background, save Kraven and Chameleon who are Russian, and few others.

This is as dumb a clue as when Thomas Haden Church said that he was a "horse of many colors" describing his character before it was revealed as The Sandman...everyone thought he was going to be The Chameleon...these clues are dumb...

We know what they want us to know. This guys role will not be any larger than it has been. He'll be in flashback form (has to cause he's dead) and it will not reveal him to be a villain.

hahahaha....ha...............ha.

Atleast I'm not the one assuming that this is going to be a terrible mistake.

i am reading your posts for 2 years now. not once. not f... once did you say anything negative about any movie. not even in the misc. section.
you are not 90% positive about movies. you are 100%. you like everything.

they are writting this movie since 2008. ok? ok?
its not like a new writter is writting hes own story and is then showing the script to the studio and Raimi.

they already know who the villain is. Raimi knows it and the studio knows this.

 

[Eggyman]

I wouldn't read too much into this. Not one bit. It'll be some silly flashback showing Pete feeling guilty about it or something. No villain's gonna turn into him or make Spidey see sh**. It'll be another flashback resulting in Pete once again crying his lil arse off.

 

[snakeinthegear]

Why does Uncle Ben hae to be another foical point? I mean even the batman movies, in recent memory TDK gave his "my parents were killed in front of me" schtick a rest.
Flashbacks?? It's lazy and contributed to the mess that was SM3.
Why can't we just have an extravagant spider-man adventure, without bogging them down with poibtless derrivatives?
I really hope there's not much to this.

 

[FaT_tONle]

I have a hard time believing that Raimi did not know what villain they were going with months ago. I think he certainly pitched some ideas to Sony and they agreed on something shortly after signing him. I am not saying they are definitively set on one story, but I am pretty sure they have has something on paper for a while now. Just my two cents.

welll, were just gonna have to wait and see.

I agree. He may not be writing the script, but I'm 99% sure that he's put down what and who he wants to feature in said script.

 

[Immortalfire]

Can we also bring back the teacher? I KID YOU NOT!

I'm all for that.

 

[Reikowolf]

Seems like someone knows enough about the script's completion to begin casting.

I am not sure why everyone thinks this is big news, it will most likely be another flashback.

That being said, speculation could be that this movie would be about making amends as Spidey has a lot to answer for from SM3.

It would be interesting if they introduced Jessica Carradine *The Burgler's daughter in the comics*

But that's as plausible as a retcon at this point.

I strongly believe this will just be a more elaborated flashback.

 

[chaseter]

I guess the best thing that could happen was the symbiote playing tricks on Peter's mind and that would retcon their retcon.

Good point. Let's move forward.

I liked SM3 but the one thing I did hate was Flint Marko being the shooter. There was NO need for that at all. I hope they reverse that awful writing decision in SM4 or simply move forward and deliver a great, self contained story.

I trust Raimi completely. SM4 is going to be great.

 

[HughJackFan420]

what if Papajohn's character never died? what if he's Cletus Cassidy?

 

[Venom'sDad]

I don't think a serial killer would be a burglar/carjacker.

 

[Dragon]

I don't think a serial killer would be a burglar/carjacker.

Sure they would. Many serial killers start off in petty crime before "graduating" to murder.

 

[SpeterMan3]

Papajohn's character's name is Dennis Carradine, if I remember correctly. Captain Stacy said it in Spider-Man 3.

 

[Venom'sDad]

I don't think serial killers start off like that... they are usually up standing.

 

[Wally West]

what if Papajohn's character never died? what if he's Cletus Cassidy?

If that were the case they'd recast for the role. They're not giving an actor of Papajohn's caliber a role that big.

And They aren't gonna mess with the origin further at this point. He's in this for a nightmare or halicination scene and that's it.

 

[co2]

If he is involved, I hope it is as a flashback.
Because the other option would mean we are talking about a villain like Chamelon or Mysterio jacking with Peter's head...and I want neither of those villains.

Well, dark_b, for as long as I've known you, this isn't well.....a surprise to me. I don't think you check over my posts often. I am negative about things. You see, I don't like to assume things are going to be terrible. Hear what i said about an Alien remake? I was negative about that. Predator? Negative. I have others as well. Heck, I was a bit curious at first about Michael wearing a hood in the new Halloween film, but once I saw the picture, I thought it was awesome. It's impossible to like everything (in movies), btw. I'm sure you won't believe me though.

Too bad

I don't think Ted Bundy stole cars, or robbed wrestling arenas.
