Comment RSSSpiderman 4, Spiderman 5 – Raimi & Maguire In Talks
7.09.08 # Sequel # 8 Comments
Wondering about Spiderman 4? Thinking of skipping the next one and going straight to Spiderman 5? Rumours have been spinning around the web for a while that Sony are looking to continue their Spiderman franchise with not one but two new sequels, filmed back-to-back. …It now looks like that is the case.
There have also been questions over whether Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire would return – the assumption being that Spiderman 3 marked the end of an era, and Raimi would only stay on to produce from here on. …Not so it seems.
Talks have begun between Sony, Raimi, and Maguire. Sony are seeking a deal that would bring the original cast and creative team back to make Spiderman 4 and 5, in preparation for a May 2011 release for the fourth movie in the franchise.
Shooting the two films back-to-back would help with the continued issues Sony have faced in being able to bring back all the cast and crew at the same time and would also help cut the cost of making such high budget features.
Sony has yet to mention if talks are taking place with other principal actors such as Kirsten Dunst but Sony have stated that MJ will still be an important part of the franchise and they are currently not looking to recast the character.
There is also no news yet on who the next villain will be although Deadline Hollywood states that as soon as the principal cast for Spidey 4 is announced we will instantly know who our next villain will be… could it be The Lizard as alluded to in Spidey 3?

The main problem with Spiderman 3 was the script. With a new writer, and the same team, I have faith.
i agree with Sheridan that most of my annoyance at Spidey 3 was due to the scripting, i found that most of the scenes i was looking forward to were rushed and the ones i wasn’t especially interested in were filmed in depth. i.e the evil side of Spidey himself being hurried really pissed me off. I’d love to know which villains are going to be appearing in Spidey 4 (& 5) and i would love if Mr Vaggs claims about the lizard turn out to be correct.
I want them to be good, but I won’t hold my breath.
I wont be going opening night again but i loved the first 2 so why not, i’d give spider man 4 a try.
eh.
Wouldn’t it be great to see a Spiderman cast completely populated by character actors? Paul Giamatti as The Lizard? Toby Maguire replaced by Toby Jones? Directed by Darren Aronofsky?
I’d watch that. Why I’m not a studio head is a complete mystery.
Spiderman 3 was just as good as the rest. The script was good, but the CG was a disappointment. If you watch it more than once though, you can appreciate how all 3 villains were needed to complete the story. The movie was about making choices and 2 villains chose different paths while the 3rd was left to be seen. Overall the movie gets 5 stars simply for being a spiderman movie.
The first two films was great, but the third was a disappointment for me, with how the did venom and all.
I seriosly did not like how the they did venom,small, no huge tongue, and the actor for it was a small guy as well.
Infact in my point of veiw, the sandman was the highlight of the film because they did a amazing job on this charator.
but i do hear that there are planning to make a solo venom movie and gonna make it right witch im hoping they do.
now with spiderman four and five. I hope they go deeper into the story line in the comics, like with the lizard would be awsome and carnage amazing if the do him right unlike venom.
