Spiderman, Rebooted

[Thrifty]

This disdain of Spiderman 3 is just something I'll never understand.  It wasn't good, but neither were 1 and 2.

Yes, but 1 and 2 didn't have street dancing scenes, Spider-Man hitting women, and Topher Grace as Venom.

Goddamned Topher Grace! Damnit!

Yeah but 1 had a bad guy in a dumb Power Rangers mask who got killed by his own flying skateboard.

[CrowTeeRobot]

That's actually how he was killed in the comic. Also, yeah, the mask was stupid, but it was better than a skin tight rubber green and purple goblin suit.

Let's say it was a lateral move.

I love the Green Goblin and could care less about his gear. I'm just bummed they messed up the Stacy storyline w/ GG's death. That royally sucked.

Edit: I used Round Table "Stacey" instead of Stacy. Whoops!

There's rumours that after Spidey 4, they'll reboot the whole thing.  Gwen could feature more prominently in the next couple, especially as people are a little tired of the Peter/MJ thing.  I doubt if she'll be murdered by the Green Goblin again though.

I haven't read/heard anything related to a reboot after the next installment. Isn't Sam signed on through 5, and possibly 6? I'd be surprised if he would be a part of that if it happens, and the more I think about it, a reboot will possibly only happen if Marvel gets a hold of the rights. I don't have any idea what the likelihood of that is.

And I'd be shocked if Gwen wasn't murdered by the GG if the reboot does so happen. It's so epically defining and nonetheless, pretty moving stuff.

I hope they don't have Black Cat in this one. She would just be in there for T&A (the same reason she is in the comic) and there is absolutely no reason why a female villain (or even partial villain)with no superpowers would be able to stand a chance in a world with superpowered characters like Spiderman and his various rogues gallery. Heck, even in the new Batman movies a female character like Catwoman would be a stain on the concrete, there's no way one would last in a movie where the main character can lift cars over his head.

[ScottotD]

What's she's there for depends on the writer, super-strength doesn't make you a good thief.

Well, you're the first, DG. 

To be honest, I'm indifferent about her inclusion. I'd much rather see the exploration of a Peter/Gwen budding relationship, but I'm game for anything to cause mucho strife in the Peter/MJ relationship nowadays. And much like Scott said above, it depends on the writer, and I'm giving him an earnest chance.

The Lizard does so look to be in stone, and that's an excellent thing! Good things are happening sans the debunking of the McAdams rumor.

Nikki Finke is reporting Anne Hathaway has been approached for a role.  I believe they're going for the recently naturalized to the U.S. by way of England demographic.

Actually, I heard that Dylan Baker was saying he wasn't going to be in the fourth one because it was just going to be a cameo again

[TeamRAD]

DG...Baker, himself, confirmed he'll be in 4 as of late October.

[Russell]

Speaking of, supposedly Black Cat is supposed to be in Spiderman 4? Why?! I mean seriously, is Black Cat any different than DC comic's Catwoman? I'm already scared.

If they do go for Black Cat, I think Anne Hathaway would be pretty great.
