Spider-Man 4 in May 2011

Spider-Man

Spider-Man producer Laura Ziskin told theater owners on Thursday that Spider-Man 4 is tentatively being scheduled for a May 2011 release. She also confirmed that screenwriter James Vanderbilt has yet to turn in a final screenplay, but she insisted that Sony Pictures is very hopeful that they will be on track for 2011.

Director Sam Raimi has yet to commit to the project, and told press earlier this month that he is “excited to read” the screenplay, and is “hoping it’s as great as our discussions were about it and hoping it feels right”. No stars are signed on to the project, however Sony has publicly insisted that they want to bring Tobey Maguire back for the fourth film. I still wonder if the script and money will be enough to bring the original team back to the fold. JK Simmons has said that the studio has recently checked in with his agents to say they want him back for a sequel, and he’s ready to return if Raimi is still involved.

  • Garrett Russell
    PLEEEAAAAASSEEEEEE let them all come back for a 4th movie.
  • Aqualeo
    They can only save this franchise if they ALL come back
  • Eric
    PPPPLLLEEEEASSSSEEEE tell me Bruce Campbell will be the villian even though I know he won't from a Q&A
  • NINJARTIST
    Either get everyone back, or hold off and do a reboot- No recasting.

    ...And could we finally let Dylan Baker be Lizard, please?
  • gah
    I was hoping for a fresh start. Spidey needs some new blood.
  • Christopher Marc
    focus on making a good script stop trying to set a release date....that kind of thinking ruined Spidey3
  • orange cinema
    garret ninja & aqualeo, i am with you guys 100%!!!! i'm praying for a return from everyone: they can redeem themselves FOR SM3 & SHOW THE WORLD THEY ARE THE BEST COMIC TO FILM FRANCHISE (along w nolan & co.) ON THE F-ING PLANET!
  • So what? Spidey is taking on Captain America? Marvel cannibalism? smart.
  • Brandon
    Spider-Man 3 was a disaster. I'm not watching 4 unless there is very positive word-of-mouth, or if Raimi quits. Simple as that.
  • seanovan
    seriously, wtf is tobey gonna hold out for, a role as quazzimoto?
  • 790
    Sounds like Raimi's waiting to read the script, if its good he's on .... (I'm guessing the script was modified to include a larger 2 part film, and its taking a while to complete.)
    Then its up to Tobey. Wow, he will get a huge wad when all is said and done.
    Wouldn't be surprised if he gets exec prod cred. (Boost his career in that area.)

    You read these stories of Maguire and Bale reaching epoc statis, and then there's Norton with the sore ass.
    I don't think Norton thinks longterm enough. (IMO)
  • Nice. Always ready for more Spider-Man.
  • Whiskey
    C'mon Marvel... Just yank their license already.
    Gawd!
  • Bob
    seriously though i forgive raimi for spider-man 3, but he needs to get the original cast together for at least one more movie and then recast if they plan on making a fifth spider-man
  • trazadone
    Spider-Man 3 was awful and I'm sick of the cast. I would only be interested in this is it has a new director and cast attached.
  • sasha
    raimi better buck up and not make the mistake of letting the suits steer him away from a script he's already approved. like he did with the third movie. if he doesn't do that i think it'll be a good movie. if not...
  • M&Co
    I feel like the whole world is under a spell with these films. They're all monumentally overrated. Personally I think the core problem with the series is that the character of Peter Parker is an anachronism. He's not a modern day everyman, he's a dork from the 50's. This was demonstrated with painful excess in the derailment that was Part 3, but it's been evident the whole way through the series.

    He hasn't really changed or grown either, despite the fact that so much crazy shit has gone down in his life he's still the same character. No shades, no darkness, just a kid that you really want to kick in the pants. This might be true to the comic character, but what I'm saying is that he needs to be updated for this medium and this era. If they can do that, bring on part 4.
  • Twilight&&EdwardCulleL
    awesome! more spiderman! im a huge fan!! tho i was upset that they killed off harry :( i thought them fighting some more woulda been good. and VENOM! ahh YESS VENOM MUST COME BACK! i heard carnage was coming as a symbiote of venom. and lizard guy, lol. well i think the spiderman movies are awesome and i would watch more sequels to come.

    and i think KRISTEN DUNST was GREAT at being MARY JANE. i also think RAIMI is a great director. and the spiderman movies r great!

    bring it on Spider Man 4!!
  • jasper
    I would love to see another spidey movie, and think it will happen, with Raimi and the oridinal crew returning. It will be interesting to see the outlay for the 4th film, purley because I would of thought it would give some clue as to how far they are realy going to take the series - probible the best way of knowing this would be by the villans that are chosen for the 4th film.

    The reason for this, is (without going too mega geek) that so far thay have stayed pitty much within the guidelines of the oridginal storey that marval dipicted for years and years in its comics. From so many stories, its hard to condense them into a few films, but the main plots are following the oridginal pattern. The scene is set for Conners to become LIZZARD, and for CARNAGE to make an appearance, reprising venoms role from the 3rd film. If you follow the oridinal plot, Norman Osbourne makes several come backs over the years, eveyone thinking he is dead only to to re-apper in some guise or another to get back at spidey and his family - but cant see this happening here as he's been buried and they surley wouldnt carry on with the whole goblin theme. If MORLUN, THE QUEEN or MEPHISTO (in particular) come in to the plot at any point - expect there to be at least a 5th film - wont put the spoilers on it for any one who doesent know how things all end, but if none of these names pop up in 4 - not sure were they will go from that without draggin things on for ever and ever - just like this posting lol :)
  • I think Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst should be in the next
    three Spider-Man sequels
  • Mark
    Anyone saying that they should completely re-cast for a fourth film is crazy. It would look and feel so so very wrong. Spiderman 3 wasn't THAT awful and Raimi is a legend has given us the three best superhero movies in so very long! Tobey McGuire is perfect as Pete and the 50's geek character he plays in a modern world works better than the 40's/50's feel that Tim Burton brought to Batman in 1989. A fourth film is neede if not for anything else than to tie up loose ends...MJ, Dr. Conners, Sandman?
    Please please one more from the team, if one person drops out (especially Raimi or McGuire) then don't do it or you'll end up with Batman Forever!!!!!!
    P.S Drink in Bunkers Hill in Nottingham!!
  • Chris
    I would like to see the lizard in movie #4. Carnage i think would just be a repeat of venom. They are basicly the same thing. I would like to see either chamelion, kingpin, scorpion, hydroman, shocker, electro, and kraven. kraven i think is most likely to be paired with the lizard with an introduction of kingpin.
  • i already know carnage and the lizard is in it so that will be cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!im a huge spiderman fan i got every comic

  • d3nz
    is spiderman 4 the costume of white colour ?!....
  • Ghost Rider
    YOU HAV GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!!!!!!! I want Spiderman 4 to hit the theatres in 2009, NOT 2011!!!!!!!!!!!! I just can`t can`t bear to wait that long!!!! This is such disappointing news. It`s kind of odd for a movie to be seen on the big screen 4 years later. It`s supposed to be 2-3 years. This is the saddest news I`ve heard yet. I can`t SURVIVE to wait until 2011!!!!
  • Ashley
    I seriously think Jim Carrey will be the perfect Carnage. You can not judge him as being too silly or a horrible actor. He is a phenominal actor. Take for instance...Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind. You need to take the man seriously. He is full of talent and he can pull it off. It's kind of like how everyone didn't take Heath Ledger as the Joker seriously, then he blew everyone's mind. So, think about it.
  • spoilerkid
    um ok this is the info i got so far kraven,carnage,lizard are villians in 4 nd peter nd mj are married kraven fights spiderman kraven loses he somewat kills himself lizard and carnage nd spiderman fight lizard kills carnage spidey kills lizard nd dr.connors last words r thank you nd peter goes to aunt may apartment nd he finds her on the floor he piks her up nd takes her to the hospital nd mj gets to the hospital nd the doktors tell peter aunt may only has one day to live they go to her nd she tells peter''how does it feel to swing from building to building''peter is shoked nd they talk aunt may knos hes spidey they go bak to the house nd aunt may is dying nd they take her to bed they talk nd peter is crying nd she dies nd mj is pre gnant nd they bury aunt may nd the film ends with the birth of may parker..........credits role u see shoker putting on his gauntlets nd saying time to put on a team.....nd it ends thats wat i learned from my resources......dont kno if its true

  • spoilerkid
    jim carrey will suk as carnage cmon that guy has stupid ass roles like lloyd nd ace ventura......ace ventura as a fuken serial killer wtf i aint saying jim carrey isnt a good aktor but seriously
  • Ashley
    Once again, you guys need to take the man seriously. He is talented, not just Ace Ventura and shi-- like that. Rent ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF A SPOTLESS MIND RIGHT NOW. You'll see that he's a man to take seriously. Also, if you remember the comics....Carnage was pretty dayum crazy without the suit. Jim Carrey crazy? Yeah, he'll be amazing.
  • spoilerkid
    yea ive seen all his movies ima big fan of him but yea i dont think it will fit him though like wen he played the riddler for batman it was terrible i dont think jim carrey is fit to be an antagonist u kno
  • Ashley
    You can't judge him by one movie whether he'll do a great performence or not.
  • spoilerkid
    im not judging him well yea hell be great for the part but not as much u kno i aint trying to argue well besides jim carrey tell me who ok ashley im interested on ure thoughts ok
  • Peter Glass
    I think the music from and inspired by Spider-Man 4 should be done by Duffy The Wombats The Red Hot Chilli Peppers Ronan Keating and Oasis the music from and inspired by Spider-Man 5 and 6 should be done by Rick Astley R.E.M The Rembrandts Oasis The Foo Fighters Elton John J-Kwon Eminem Limp Bizkit Kid Rock Madonna Justin Timberlake Xzibit Snoop Dogg Timbaland Ludacris Li'l Jon and Usher There's no hate speech at all
  • Radio
    Jim Carrey does not fit as Carnage.
  • Badda_Bing
    SOMEBODY PLEASE BACK ME UP HERE...... IN SPIDERMAN 1 , JJJ (THE BOSS OF THE DAILY BUGLE), MENTIONS EDDIE BROCK!!!! I CANT FIND MY COPY OF SPIDERMAN!!! AND NOBODY BELIVES ME! BUT IM SURE OF IT!!

    COULD SOMEBODY PLEASE CHECK IT OUT TOO???

    Jim Carrey for Carnage?? Never! he's not right for the part!

    And spiderman 4 should be darker! like the Dark Knight! dont worry about making it ALL AGES! PG13 minimum! but it needs to be darker (Like Hulk too) Spiderman 3 was pathetic! For a huge Spiderman fan & Venom fan, it sucked!! AND the big fight at the end was incredibly lame! with the crowd standing 100m from a 300ft sandman!! come on man!

    SPIDERMAN 4 MUST BE DARKER & FOR MORE MATURE AUDIENCES!!!
    PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS!!!!

    Oh and i know American ppl like to be patriotic, BUT in Spiderman3, when he is swiging to the final fight... AND the huge AMerican flag appears and goes slow motion... i felt like throwing up & leaving the cinema!!! it was the lamest thing about the whole movie! (Im not mocking the American flag)
  • spoilerkid
    ure wrong wy wuld spiderman be darker its a family film nd it wuld be copying nd jim carrey can be carnage wers another aktor that culd akt as a crazy psycopath besides i alredy kno the plot for sm4 ive seen it with my very own eyes oh yea nd jj does mention eddie brok in the first spiderman......
  • Radio
    Even if they ask Jim Carrey to take the job seriously, I can`t picture Jim Carrey having the demonic character of Cletus. Somehow he just doesn`t look like that kind of person you know.

    Matt Damon is the guy I think would do great as the new villain. You guys know the movie, The Bourne Ultimatim? That guy.
  • Radio
    Oh, and Spiderman 4 should be rated no higher or lower than pg-13. But yeah, it should be more dark, like there should be some more killing and some blood.
  • Badda_Bing
    Spoiler Kid... Why should spiderman be a family film?? Have you ever read a spiderman comic! They just make it for kiddies to sell more tickets!! I just got The Incredible Hulk on dvd a few days ago, and it was darkish, which made it awesome!!! Dark Knight was dark too & killed made tonnes of money! MAKE SPIDERMAN DARKER PLSSS :-) :-)

    I cant agree with Jim Carrey being Carnage! AND nor can i see Matt Damon! Haha!!

    So what is the plot for SM 4 Spoiler Kid?? Lizard?
  • Radio
    Then who should play Carnage? Matt is the best guy I know. I was never fully 100 percent sure if he would fit perfectly as Kassidy, but I don`t know any guy better than him.
  • spoilerkid
