Then why even bother putting Spidey in the black suit to begin with if they have no plans to do a fourth movie and no plans to have Venom in a movie.

Because Venom's going to be in Spider-man 3.

Both Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2 rank among the highest-grossing films of all time. The total worldwide box office of the two films alone is over $1.6 billion. So it would be hard to believe that a Hollywood studio would pass up the chance to make even more money.

J.K. Simmons, who plays Peter Parker's boss Johan Jameson, says that talk of a fourth movie has already begun.

"Yeah, it got mentioned. In fact, the last couple of days I shot was at the very end of the schedule — we were doing some night-action scenes in New York — and [director] Sam [Raimi] was talking about it," Simmons told TV Guide. "It's not a done deal because everybody's deals, including Sam Raimi's and all the actors', were for three pictures. But he's certainly open to doing more."

Kirsten Dunst, who plays Mary Jane Watson in the series, was only contracted to do three Spider-Man movies. Dunst told ABC last year that she would only return for a fourth film if everyone returned.

"Unless they pay me exorbitant amounts of money," she said, laughing. "I mean, if everyone came back, then probably. I doubt (they'd all come back), but I don't know, maybe everyone would. I would ... I would if everyone came back and if there was a story to tell.""That's why I did the first one."

And if series helmer Sam Raimi has always said he'd be up for more.

"I never know if they're going to want me for another one," Raimi told Costco Connection. "But if the studio did make a part four, and if they'd ask me, I'd be thrilled to do it."

And if Raimi doesn't return, Cameron Crowe (Almost Famous) has publicly commented on his desire to direct the fourth film: "It's hard work to find people who will wave the flag with you. However — Spider-Man 4? I'm available!"

Meanwhile, Hasbro sent out a press release in January that included talk of a fourth film.

Will We Get to See a Spider-Man 4?
Source: USA Today
July 21, 2006


USA Today caught up with Tobey Maguire, producer Laura Ziskin and executive producer Avi Arad to see what their thoughts are about Spidey movies beyond Spider-Man 3. Here's a clip:

We've done an amazing job at keeping things fresh," Maguire tells USA TODAY. But, he adds, "it's hard to imagine continuously coming up with stories that deserve to be told. I'm not sure if there are more stories for this character that are interesting enough to be excited about doing more."

You can read the full article at the link above.

Sony Pictures, the distributor for the films, isn't saying either way. And superhero franchises, such as the Hulk, have been pronounced dead, only to resurface under a new director or production company.

But Spider-Man producers concede they haven't looked beyond this installment of the series, which they always viewed as a trilogy.

"We don't have a book we're adapting, like a Lord of the Rings," says Spider-Man producer Laura Ziskin. "It's open-ended. But this could be the last. We've never started on the next movie while we were working on the current one."

More than a dozen big-studio movies will be featured at the nation's largest comic-book convention this weekend, but none come shouldering more excitement or expectations than Spider-Man. It's due in theaters May 4.

Producers — and perhaps, they say, a star from the movie — will unveil some hastily gathered footage from the film Saturday as a goodwill gesture to the convention, which has been a taproot of the franchise's loyal following.

"This is a going-home kind of thing," producer Avi Arad says. "We brought the first one here and the fans have supported us and (director) Sam Raimi from the start. We wanted to say thank you."

Filmmakers are closely guarding plot points to the film, though it will feature a new villain, Sandman, played by Thomas Haden Church.

And Ziskin promises one foe will be Spidey himself.

"He'll have to battle villains within," she says. "I love what we've done with this character."

So does Maguire.

"This one, to me, has more interesting twists and turns" than the first two, he says. "It's been a fun ride."



Discuss

From reading this, it tells me even more that Spider-Man 3 will have a conclusion, which I am happy to say. This will be a trilogy, and that is all.

We now know that Spider-Man is the forth villain. I am happy it is him. I like how he is gonna fight his inner demons.

oh thanks cause i never saw that pic of tobey before

 

[antariksh]

I for one don't want a spider-man 4!!!

A franchise works if it has at maximum 3 movies.

X-men is over.
I want Spider-man to be over now. I think they will end the franchise with a BANG which is good thing.



Bring on new comic book movies!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Cmill216]

no way... that's a manip

Where's the original pics?

 

[JokerNick]

i hope it's true!!

I can't make threads right now, can you start a thread on that....

 

[JokerNick]

Where's the original pics?

I've seen that pic of peter before, but it was of him on the set I beleive....

 

[Cmill216]

I can't make threads right now, can you start a thread on that....

A.) We have a Comic Con thread
B.) We have a stickied Venom thread

 

[Cmill216]

Dude, I don't think that's a manip. I've never seen a picture of Tobey turned to that angle on the set.

 

[Hiruu]

I think there's one more story left in this saga. I can't imagine all the plot lines bieng concluded in this film, so perhaps they'll culminate with the marriage and restart the storyline after a 4-5 year hiatus.

 

[JokerNick]

A.) We have a Comic Con thread
B.) We have a stickied Venom thread

true, but it would get peoples attention who don't go to those thread, I normally don't, but it would get people interested in it.......

 

[JokerNick]

Dude, I don't think that's a manip. I've never seen a picture of Tobey turned to that angle on the set.

well i do manips for a living.... I know when I see one.....

 

[Spider-Ranger]

Wow... it looks damn real

 

[daveswb]

Wow, this is funny. Of course there is going to be a 4th. The actors start saying stuff like this because a) they want more money to do 4, or b)they really don't want to do 4, and hope no one comes in behind them and does a better job. They want to be remembered as the hero. Most likely it's a.

There is so much setting us up for 4. Again there is the hasbro deal. Also there was an official announcment they planned to do 6 all together from the begninng. They are making more money on these movies than anyone, so why they heck would they stop at 3? And all the rumors we have heard about 3 have left it open ended for 4. So I'm sorry for those that want the perfect trilogy, there will be a 4.

 

[Cmill216]

well i do manips for a living.... I know when I see one.....

Well, that's nice.

But until someone can prove otherwise, it's real to me.
