So what’s the deal here, really? Well according to Wikipedia, it is going to be a re-boot of the Spider-Man franchise. I’m not sure what to think about this, especially because they want it to take place when Peter Parker is still in high school. Originally, Spider-Man 4 was to include the Lizard, and the Vulture as at least 2 of Spider-Man’s villainous foes, but now it is unclear who will be featured now that the original script has been thrown in file 13. Sam Raimi claimed that he backed out of the project due to time constraints, not sure that he would be able to deliver the film for a May 2011 release date. There is no hint yet at who will be portraying Spider-Man, Mary Jane Watson, or any other characters, but one thing is clear, get ready for a whole new Spider-Man experience (good or bad). Maybe this means that Sam Raimi could team up with Bruce Campbell again for a new Evil Dead movie????? How awesome would that be?!…….. On a related note, there is also some buzz floating around that there will be a Venom spin-off movie slated for 2012 as well. Venom is reportedly going to be portrayed as an anti-hero instead of outright villain, which makes no sense to me at all (because he loves to destroy just about everything). There seems to be a script written already, but it is apparently being re-written to adhere to the new idea of Venom being an anti-hero. This should be an interesting take, especially because Stan Lee has agreed to even star in a cameo role. I guess we shall see what this brings to the table for an altered Marvel universe.
