Spiderman...4


Although I think we should all wait to see Spiderman 3 before talking about Spiderman 4, I just couldn't resist.

Marvel Studios has confirmed that Spider-Man 3 won't be the last in the series.

"There will be many more Spider-Man films to come," Marvel Studios' Producer Kevin Feige told MTV. "We already have stacks of ideas for the next one because of the wealth of stories in the comics. We could be making Spider-Man movies for the next 20 years, based on the 50 years of Spider-Man history we have."

In July, Tobey Maguire gave comic book fanboys a conniption when he told USA Today that he didn't believe a Spider-Man 4 was in the cards.

"We've done an amazing job at keeping things fresh," Maguire told USA Today. "But, 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."

Feige can't guarantee that Maguire would return for a fourth film.

"When you're concentrating on one movie at a time, there's a beginning and a middle and an end to that process," Feige reasoned. "We've been topping each one as they go, [and if that happens again], that's the time for those discussions."

It's good to hear from a Marvel representative that the company is commited to making more Spider-Man movies (as long as there is a market for them) with or without Maguire.

And as for the market, Spider-Man 1 and Spider-Man 2 are two of the top 20 biggest grossing films of all time Worldwide (Top 10 domestically).

I would like to see a set of 3s. The next one should have different style to them.

Spiderman should have wider eyes and the costume should looks less suit-like and look like he made it.

The villians should be darker too...the Scorpion maybe.

I only say that because all of the villians so far are kind of joke-y looking. Save for Venom. They all have this wacky funny look to them. Goblin looked like a Power Ranger, Doc OC looked like a homeless man with dark glasses and Sandman does kind of look stupid with that retro 60s look to him.

I guess what I am saying is that it would be fun to see a darker tone to the Spiderman world.

What the hell are you talking about?

Besides the Goblin, (which was an incredibly dark character) Ock and the Sandman looked awesome!

Darker huh? Still what the hell are you talking about?

Can you get any darker than the first two films?

I don't think so.

In fact, I would like to see them go more Super heroey. With maybe some of Spidey's hero supporting cast thrown in. Now THAT would be cool.

Other than that, I really don't care if they make more or not. SP3 looks great.
