Bruce Campbell dropped a hint that he would have a bigger role in Spider-Man 4, and finally Sam Raimi was asked to confirm it. And he does!
When MTV News had a chance to talk to Raimi, of course we needed to know if Campbell was speaking the truth. After sneaking into cameos in the first three “Spider-Man” flicks, has the “Evil Dead” star really nabbed a major part in the fourth installment?
As soon as I asked Raimi this question, he burst into laughter, as you can hear if you click on the video in this post. “I promised him we would write something because I really love putting him in the pictures,” he then said. “I promised him a good, meaty role.”
While I am in the camp that would LOVE to see Bruce Campbell in a bigger role.
Maybe they will have him star as a minor character who will admit to being unable to keep a job and confessing to past jobs of a wrestling announcer, stubborn usher and faking an accent to be a snooty Maitre d’. And flesh out the role getting past the reoccuring plot of Peter being unable to hold a job.
Whatever it is, I can’t wait to see him better off, but I don’t think “meatier role” will be the speculated role of Mysterio. But I can hope.
