McAdams does not have the, errr, assets to play Black Cat. If she's hired it'll be as disappointing as Sienna Miller in the role of Baroness.

As for the choice of villain(ess), eh I guess it fits but I was rather hoping for a little less romance-baw from this one.

yes, god forbid they get a good actress that isn't built like a comic book 12-year old fantasy woman, some people don't treat every movie as softcore porn[/QUOTE]

Pretty much this. I am looking forward to seeing Black Cat in the movie, as the love interest/angle she had with Parker was great and would work well in a movie.

And Quonas...did you read the post or article? They are still casting for the male villian role, so it is not just the cat.

If Bruce Campbell gets cast as Mysterio.... I will have tears of joy.

Charlie, you realize you're preaching to the guy disgusted at all the revelations of teenage sex in the high school thread, right?

I'm not asking for Rob Liefield balloons here. And there are certainly svelte superheroines. Black Cat, however, isn't one of them and McAdams doesn't have that look. It would also be good to hire a more healthy actress for Black Cat because, quite frankly, the worship of the toothpick-size female is a bad thing.

Yeah I see they're casting another villain, but you know that guy's going to end up on the wrong side of a Spidey-Black Cat team-up. I'm sure it'll all be fine, I'm just saying I'd rather not have to sit through more Parker romance angst.

yea, if they're going to have Miss Crazy-Slut Hardy in the movie, they really need to hire an actress with some really nice curves.

And, can we get Spiderman to cry in this one? I would really like to show the emotional side of Spiderman.

I prefer Rachel Weisz personally. She would have made a good replacement Katie Holmes and Maggie Gyllenhaal.

Raimi could get ordered to capitalize on the vampire craze and get stuck using Morpheus or Morlun.

I don't know, haven't read it... but the synopsis sounded stupid. And hand stingers? Isn't Wolverine in enough books?

I hated The Other.

The early JMS stuff wasn't bad. People always forget about the "Correlation != Causality" part that Dr Strange tells Peter.

I never actually read The Other. But the I liked the whole animal totem thing, seeing as it is true that most of Spider-man's villains are animal or insect/arachnid based.

The rumor mill so far has Venom returning, Carnage, Lizard, Vulture, Vultress, Kraven, Mysterio, and Shocker.

Some have had "almost confirmed" actors attributed as well.

Malkovich as "The Vulture"
Hathaway as "The Vulturess"


Looks good :)

Really? I have... crazy faith in Raimi but... The Vulture is 5 kinds of dumb and taking the Black Cat and turning her into the Vulturess?

I sure hope he knows what he's doing. It's sounding more Batman Forever than I would like...
But I will trust him until I see it. Raimi usually knows what he's doing.

Except for the Spider-man franchise, in which apparently he plays second fiddle to executives and not creative types. As good as Spider-man 2 was, he really fucked the pooch on Spider-man 3, and Spider-man 4 isn't looking so great either.

Eh, I think he wanted SP3 to suck so the executives would see that they need to let him control things.

Even some of his directorial choices were just terrible, leaving aside issues such as shoe-horning in villains and adding another potential love interest. He's allowed a misfire, and this was definitely it.

I won't be seeing it. I haven't seen 3. I stopped watching 2. One was pretty decent.
