Sequels Spider-Man 4 and 5 Shooting At The Same Time?

[Spectacular23]

not that i know of stevens25

 

[Comic_maniac]

wow! i sure hope this is true!

 

[FaT_tONle]

They are moving pretty fast on this... its should be ready for a mid summer 2010 release. Might as well get the July 1st date while its still open unless there is another film I am unaware of due at that time.

 

[Cagefighterkip]

Has it been confirmed yet as to when Spidey 4 will be released? I haven't heard anything beyond 2010.

nothing confirmed, but rumored (and most likely) summer 2010, cuz it wont be next summer, but i cant imagine it being beyond summer 2011... three year stretch, theyll film sometime next year

 

[LegendaryCaleb]

omg...this is the greatest news ive ever heard

 

[Cagefighterkip]

They are moving pretty fast on this...

of course; spidey3 made like 800 to 900 million...

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

Don't get your hopes up about a returning cast people. You are going to end up disappointed. Tobey's salary will probably be 35 million if that was the case... Dunst would be another 15 million at least... and if they bring back one they'll bring back both unless one of them asks for way too much $.

Maybe they could offer T-Mags and Dunst some of the box office take to offshoot their salaries.

I think Disney worked something out with Depp for the Pirates sequels, iirc....

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

I know what I do NOT want:

-CARNAGE. Ugh...seriously.
-Clones. Worst. Idea. Ever.
-Returning villians. Spidey's got enough villians to have a dozen or so movies without repeats.

Man-Wolf, FTW!!!

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

Why would anyone believe that they're filming the movies back-to-back, when Avi Arad and Raimi has contantly said SONY takes these films 'ONE' movie at a time?

Well, maybe they changed their minds. Is that not a possibility? Especially in light of all the bank the last movie made.

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

Anyways;

If this is true;

Spider-Man 4- Lizard/Kraven combo.
Spider-Man 5- Electro/?

VULTURE.


When i was watching the SM3 dvd commentaries and they said Ben Kingsley was almost a lock to play Mr. Adrian Toomes, but they went with Venom instead,i got SO frigging pissed! Hopefully, Ben is still interested and they can get him for Spidey5.

 

[Catman]

Personally, I'd find that boring. Kraven doesn't do much but hunt;

They could, you know, re-imagine the character. Lizard is a lock for the 4th installment. Since Curt Connors has been in the last two movies I'd figure they would turn him into Lizard by the fourth movie. So if they decide to tell his story in two-parts they need another villain to make it more interesting. Kraven seems the most obvious BUT it could also be Vulture since he was ORIGINALLY supposed to be in the third movie. Maybe they got all his stuff and put it in the new one.

 

[L0ngsh0t]

What is the general consensus on the movies shooting back to back?

I am personally a big fan of this philosophy. Even though many busts have ensued that used this idea, that has nothing to do with the fact they where shot back to back. I loved Zodiac and if Spider-man 4/5 are close to as good in the script department i think there will be an absolutely fantastic movie to be had.

My guess for the bad guys?

Insidious/Sinister Six anyone? For a story to span two movies it probably is going to have a huge scope, and what would be bigger than the Six holding new york hostage or what?

 

[Catman]

Here's the problem with that. For starters, Ock is dead and Sandman is not really evil. Secondly...while Vulture, Electro and Kraven could be considered secondary villains I think Mysterio could carry his own movie. And, finally how does Lizard fit into all this?

easy fixes

1. Ock doesn't have to be dead, the news report in Jamesons office reads 'Doc Ock on the loose etc." so he doesn't have to be dead.
2. Kingpin tells Sandman he will cure his daughter or whatever
3. with 2 movies to tell one story i'm sure they can give every character their justice. Ock and Sandman don't even have to be in 4. Have 4 feature Mysterio and have Kraven be a secondary villain. Electro imo needs very little back story for a film so he can be taken care of easily

 

[LegendaryCaleb]

all i ask is that i see Mysterio in one of these...he can be a side villian...but please...please..pick Mysterio

The Matrix and Pirates films didn't really work out back to back. Can't comment on LOTR as I don't like any of it.

The Potter films are essentially being produced back to back, but then so were the books.

The 2 Back to the Future sequels were done back to back, and turned out ok.

So it can be done.

Also, the Iron Man film is making me seriously re-appraise my appreciation of Raimi, and certainly with Maguire and Dunst.

 

[FaT_tONle]

I don't think one movie will be enough to setup the SInister Six especially if Lizard is used in the next one... let's say Lizard, Kraven... no matter what you have to add a third guy in there somewhere IF you go that direction... since King Pin is probably not in the script (since they'd have to acquire rights from Marvel) they could go Mysterio just as a movie producer... maybe he could bring Kraven is as a popular risk taker/stuntman/hunter (ala Ultimate Spiderman) and you take it from there... then it blows up in Mysterio's face and you set him up in SM5 as one of the main villains... you carry over Kraven... setup Doc Ock... bring Vulture and Electro as weapons specialists/villanous henchman respectively... bring back Sandman and you are set. But I think you'd need two movies to fully flesh out a Sinister Six movie for SM6 and not SM5. Vulture and Electro alone is just a hapass excuse for a Spidey film if that's who they go with for SM5... if they absolutely have to use those two guys while avoiding a Sinister Six then yes I'd use them... my personal choice is Scorpion/Mysterio for SM 5... but another simple pair combo for SM6 is pretty redundant and lack luster (ala Electro/Vulture) so I'd go Sinister Six personally.

 

[TheFuture]

If these movies are back-to-back, I'm guessing Connors will transform at the end of S-M4, leading to Kraven/ Lizard for S-M5.

Who will be the villains for S-M4 then? Who knows. Wouldn't mind seeing Scorpion, Shocker or a YOUNG Vulture (unless they get Ben Kingsley, old Vulture would not have enough monay for the guys trying to market this film).

I'm sure he will be in one of these films. He's a classic.

 

[Spectacular23]

mysterio? he is a special effect guy right so he could be perfect for Spiderman4

 

[I'm Venom]

They should bring back the cast and go with Kraven & Lizard for Spider-Man 4 with a Sinister Six setup, then Peter & MJ could get married in 5 and Dr. Octopus could come back at the end, like Captain Barbossa at the end of Pirates of the Caribbean 2.

Spider-Man 4: Kraven & Lizard
Spider-Man 5: Mysterio & Vulture
Spider-Man 6: Sinister Six

 

[Cagefighterkip]

sinister 6 is a shoe in for spider-man 6... for #4 id love to see clones. i know im alone on this but still...make connors part of the dna splicing, cloning and such... and do clone saga in 4 contd in 5 in which kraven comes to town to take care of the spidey clones and then the lizard (connors would transform at the end of #4)... all leading the sin.6 in spidey6....

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

Same here,Captain

Right? Who turns down an actor with the skills and credibility of Sir Ben Kingsley in favor of...Topher Grace????

<Sigh>...Avi Arad, apparently.

Spider-Man 4: Kraven & Lizard
Spider-Man 5: Mysterio & Vulture
Spider-Man 6: Sinister Six

Where would Electro fit in to that?
