Ugh. Why Dunst? She needs to be killed off in the first few minutes of the movie.

Actually the best part of that article was this:

The May date had previously been occupied by another superhero pic, Marvel Studios' planned launch of \"The First Avenger: Captain America,\" before it moved to July 22, 2011.

Marvel will also launch \"Thor\" that summer, on June 17.

I'll be downloading Spiderman. I'll be at opening day for Captain America and Thor.

I don't know why everyone thinks that they aren't capable of making an awesome Spider-Man 4. Raimi knows that 3 was shit, and they can't shoehorn Venom into two movies in a row.......can they?!

I'd actually like them to bring back Venom and "undo" the wrong.

Something like:

He survived the explosion but it completely destroyed what was left of Brock's sanity. He becomes the Venom we all know and grew to love and the entire film focuses on his ability to torture Spider-Man both in his day to day life and his superhero one. No 2-3 Villains. Just Venom.

Kingpin could be good. Maybe toss a little Black Cat in there? I always thought that was a halfway decent little storyline.

I'm all for a Venom-centric type movie, don't get me wrong. But it was super painfully obvious that in 3, Venom was just shoved in at the last-minute.

Venom was a great character. Then his initial story was over, and he managed to stick around in spite of having nothing going for him.

Like Wally's Professor Zoom, fantastic villain until Rouge Wars ended. Then he just became another crazy wackjob, instead of a tragic sympathetic figure.

Don't forget...Raimi took a stand against Bronze and Modern Age villains. It's often been speculated that he threw the movie to protest the usage of Venom.

He obviously knows how to direct Spidey well. The last one smacks of studio intervention. Let's hope that lesson has been learned.

I would like to see the Lizard since Rami insists on making his villains reformable.

Or the Bruce Cambell as Mysterio idea that has been thrown around.

My vote goes to Kraven. Probably mixing up the Ultimate and 616 versions to get the reality tv aspect in there -- though not the corny werewolf bit.

Bruce Campbell as Mysterio is probably the single most awesome thing they could do with Spider-Man.

Cause the Sinister Six was always a joke. With the exception of Doc Ock, who's already been done.

I was just joking. I wouldn't want to see the Vulture in the movie.

I still can't believe they've not used Lizard yet, since it always feels like they're setting him up in the movies. I don't know that he'd make a good main villain, though. I'd love to see 4 be as good as 2 was.

I wish they'd have done just Sandman in 3, I think he had enough of a story to fill the role GG and Ock did previously. I agree that it felt like someone force-fed Venom and Peter Parker with Disco Fever Action into the movie.

Also also, fuck yes Thor.

Cool, I can't wait, but...why is the numbering all screwed up? 2 was great and I remembering hearing abouat a 3 and then...there was this kind of blank spot in my memory.

Seriously, I mean, a live action version of Sandman? It would be off the hook! Maybe wrap up the story with the Osbornes after the great teaser at the end of 2. Just...you know, they'd have to make Spidey/Peter less whiny and cripes, no musical numbers, you know?

Still, I don't know. I'm iffy about another live action Spider-Man movie.

Nothing, in my opinion, will top Spectacular Spider-Man. It's the best rendition of Spidey in 20 years in ANY medium.

You know, we could all whine about how shitty number 3 was, and that doesn't change anything about how 4 will be done. I'm not too excited about the franchise anymore, but I will be curious about the news that keeps coming out. If it sounds like it's another overstuffed, hokey feature, then I'll pass.

Right now all we have is Raimi and crew are still in. Obviously that means absolutely nothing except that Spidey 4 still has the potential and budget to not be a direct-to-dvd schlockfest.

Difference being that the original Star Wars trilogy more likely were good in spite of Lucas than because of him, whereas I think Sam Raimi has done a great job with Spider-man.

That said, when is he going to have time for the Warcraft movie? :(

She's cute. It's her acting that bugs me. I don't think this role is for her at all.... and yes, what Shego said.

Dunst has a girl scout face.
