Then again, we might get lucky cause Paramount and New Line worked together to make Friday the 13th remake. And Paramount and 20th Century Fox made Titanic. So hopefully somthing like that will happen.

@ michael
That would be nice and a long shot cause Marvel doesnt own the rights to those heroes. For somthing like that to happen is if no-one goes to see another Spider-man, X-men, F4 etc and hope Marvel buys the rights from Columbia, 20th century Fox etc.

i think it is time for a daredevil cameo in the spiderman movie 4 & 5. if that can’t be done then marvel should start making superhero team-up movies like spiderman & daredevil or spiderman & fantastic four.

He only hated Venom because he lacked humanity or looked too extreme in the comics. I think that can be very simple to take care of.

Yeah, Mj whined in all three, but not to the point where the film should have been called “Spiderman 3: Adventures in Mj’s Acting Career”.

Well if Raimi did a piss poor job, then the movie would have to be longer. Or Raimi would have to cut more scenes Of Sandman or even harry for that matter cause i highly doubt the studio will grant more money to the film. Plus i recall MJ whining in all 3 films.

If you ask me “Spiderman 3″ had four villians b/c MJ’s whining was more meanacing that Venom and Sandman and Harry put together. The studio and Raimi are to blame for Venom. Yes, the studio forced him to use the character, but Raimi did a piss poor job of handling the character.

BTW, another reason i wouldnt count New goblin as a villain was because he was pretty much like Darth Vader in a way cause we hardly see harry be evil throughout the filmm not to mention how he learns the truth of what really happend to his father and him helping spidey. So i wouldnt count him 100% villain.

@ Matt keith
Actually the only thing i didnt like about Spider-man 3 was Peter’sdancing on the sidewalk. I think people over exaggerated about the whole 3-villain issue. To me, it was two villains which would be Sandman & Venom. I wouldnt count New Goblin cause he was made up for the script and only reason why Venom was in there in the first place was because fans wanted him. Fans just didnt like how it turned out so they only got themselves to blame aswell as the studio. If people like to think its 3 villains thats fine but Batman Begins, TDK, and even Superman 2 had 3 villains and they were great. Actually Superman 2 had 4 villains if you count Lex Luthor. Bottom like im makin is Spider-man 3 wasnt that bad that people want it to sound like cause ive seen worse ones. Instead of blaming Raimi, maybe blame the studio and other fans who wanted Venom in the film cause Obviously Raimi never intended to use Venom till the studio pushed for it.

Raimi leaving the series would be one of the best things that could happen. I loved the first two films, but “Spiderman 3″ showed that hes exhausted and needs to let another director handle the franchise. We got three films from him already and its times for a new vision on the franshise.

@ Ricky
Ive read that Sma Raimi is contracted to direct Spider-man 5 and i also read that they plan to atleast make Spider-man 6 aslong as 4&5 turn out good but Raimi nor Tobey are contracted for Spider-man 6. So far lately it sounds like Spider-man 5 will be Raimi’s last cause he does plan to remake his Evil Dead remake himself.

That might happen Matt if Sam Raimi doesn’t return for SM5 AND 6 according to the spokesperson for Sony pictures that the original SM4 writer James Vanderbilt was hired by Sony to pinned 5 and six and which could mean that we may see Venom in the way he was meant to be seen more faithful to the comics.

The only way we will see Venom in another Spiderman film will be when Raimi steps down as director. He has stated many times that he doesn’t like the character.

Ok, i`ve been listening to some movie reviews on Youtube for Spiderman 3 lately, and to be honest, at first i loved the film so much i couldn`t even remember what the action sequences and air attackings were like, so i wanted to go see the film again and actually i watched it 4 times in the theatres to be exact, and i was really surprised so many people were overfiling such a false hinge to it compared to the first 2 but then i saw all it`s struken errors, although i don`t think shoving 3 villains forced there to be weird dance commotions and emotionally ripped crying scenes showing the characters` force of contraction from the systems inside of themselves.
Now as for Venom, i think they should make him jetstream to the big screen again by Eddie Brock`s body getting found buried in the sand where the ally in S3 took place somewhere at the end of S4 which eventually he teams up with Carnge in s5 after he explains the alien costume tossed him somewhere before he got affected by the explosion when he didn`t see it. That would be a random realistic-fiction way(in Spiderman`s world) to bring him bak but it sure is the best way. Now to do them justice, they shood only give them the powers and abilities such as being faster and stronger thaan Spiderman and shooting poison from drips of their suit( not to mention, Venom`s tongue should hang out) as well as stretching tentacles from their suit. And they should only give Venom the ability to turn invisible in moments wen neccesary. If that`s all they do i can`t see how people will think “they can`t translate to the big screen”. They should be able to give them those abilities somehow, they just need to work very hard and quickly but not rush through the script and screen tests without thinking. Let me just clarify i`m saying SM5, not sm4, they`ve already signed on to do s4 and s5 so i can`t cancel the confirmations. Also i wouldn`t mind these next 2 movies being just a little dark and violent, as long as it`s not darker than it`s action and adventuorous. Anything can be dark, i guess it depends on how mature the character(s) is or are or the colors of the character(s). I just want a superhero that can be for teens and adults for once. PlEASE make these next 2 scary and intense and not too weak and kid-friendly also please don`t be afraid to make the attacks on Spiderman seem too powerful.

Spider-Man 4. Hmmm… 2 options. 1st, Kraven’s 1st appearance and Kraven’s Last Hunt as the basis for the script.

Option 2, repeat the scene in the comics where a ‘he’s not really dead’ scene of Norman Osborne standing over his son’s grave telling him “You always were a disapointment.”

I completely agree with John. K, setting Venom up at the final shot in this next one with Carnage coming in the middle of the movie would`ve been the perfect way to handle not introducing them in the same movie and Venom fighting Spidey alone before already scrummaging getting him to team up with another villain that`s in there. I`m just not sure how they can reveal the villian(s) until they finish shooting because they want to keep it as a surprise and not tell it out to people too soon, right
