While one poorly created Spiderman movie seems to be enough to ward people off of the anticipation of a fourth film, I haven’t forgotten how much I loved the first two.
So when I heard this news, I was actually more encouraged that they may learn from the mistakes of part 3 and move on in a positive way for part four. Dunst will be Mary Jane, but they will not focus on a wedding for the two yet. And Morbius, a rumoured villain for the next chapter will NOT be considered.
Kirsten Dunst has been confirmed to return as Peter Parker’s sweetheart in the upcoming Spider-Man 4. However, rumours of wedding bliss for the couple in movie, slated for release on May 6, 2011, have been denied – or at least producer Todd Black maintains that he is unaware of such a plot event.
The film’s producer have also shot down the possibility of Morbius, the Living Vampire as one of the villains in the upcoming film, but have hinted that the main villain “[has] a significant connection to the Big Apple.”
Considering that Spiderman makes New York City his home, pretty much most of his significant rogues have some connection to the Big Apple. There is some speculation in the article that the Kingpin would make sense, but he was always a Daredevil villain first and foremost, and considering Fox still has the Daredevil rights (which include supporting cast like Electra, Bullseye and Kingpin) it is very unlikely that they would be steering toward such a faceoff.
I also like the confirmation that Morbius is not in the film. With so much Vampire-mania going on right now, it would make sense that they would consider him for a front row seat on the bandwagon, but I never cared for Morbius and I think he would make a poor addition to the film cannon.
Spiderman’s villians in the movies thus far have been biological or scientifically enhanced and that paralells his own origins. Even the alien symbiote was scientific in theory and not supernatural. I would prefer they continue with this trend and not cross over into mystical or paranormal characters.
So that being said, who would fit the bill? Connors (The Lizard) was already introduced so that is only a matter of time, and I wouldn’t mind seeing an updated movie version of Vulture. I would also love to see Bruce Campbell take on Mysterio and upgrade himself from cameo whore to actual star, and get some massive actor (not wrestler) to play Scorpion or Rhino.
Just not all in the same film.
