The internet is all a buzz with nerd rage as a casting call seems to be implying that Peter Parker and Mary Jane will be having an adorable little redhead in Spiderman 4!!
Screen Rant shares the potentially distressing casting call:
2 or 3 year old boy to play 2 year old, Caucasian with RED HAIR, an adorable toddler with an engaging personality, on set experience preferred. IDENTICAL TWINS ONLY
Ok, so a superkid worked so well with the fans on Superman Returns, so why not right? Its the next logical step. Peter and MJ get married, and have a baby. That’s the movie we want to see huh?
Well screw that shit. I really hope that the other side of that speculative coin is that the wee redheaded lad will be plot placement for Cletus Kasady, the man who will one day become Carnage. But would they plant a character THAT early on?? But they are looking for a toddler, so unless we are skipping ahead to Peter and MJ in marital bliss having already spawned their spiderkid, this could be anyone’s guess.
In other casting news for Spiderman, it would seem the delictable Rachel McAdams has shot down the rumour that she is being considered for the role of Black Cat. Entertainment Weekly has the denial from McAdams own perfectly formed lips:
“That’s a total rumor, I have to say,” the actress, who will next be seen in the Dec. 25 action-adventure tentpole Sherlock Holmes, tells EW. “I was hanging out in Toronto the other day and someone came up to me and said, ‘I just heard you’re doing Spider-Man 4.‘ And I said, ‘Really? No one told me!’ It’s not true.” A rep for Sony Pictures concurs: “It’s an Internet rumor, as so many things are these days.”
So now that Spidey4 is moving ahead we get to ride that roller coaster of doubt wondering if Raimi has another hit to get over the brief hiccup known as Spiderman 3.
