'Spider-Man 4' Pencils in May 2011
Filed under: Action, RumorMonger, Fandom, Newsstand, Comic/Superhero/Geek, Remakes and Sequels
We've been waiting for some more official Spider-Man news for awhile now, ever since we told you there was a chance they might shoot both Spider-Man 4 and 5 at the same time. Good news is producer Laura Ziskin has chimed in, telling theater owners in California and Nevada that they expect Spider-Man 4 to hit theaters in May 2011. According to Ziskin (from an article in the Los Angeles Times), the script still isn't finished, yet they hope a fourth installment will be ready in three years.
However, when (and if) Spidey returns in May 2011, he'll have to square off against another Marvel flick in The First Avenger: Captain America (May 6), as well as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II. All I'm sayin' is it should be an interesting month. Still no word on what (if any) involvement Sam Raimi, Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst will have in the making of future Spider-Man films. Three years is a long time to wait, so whaddya think: Is the long break a good thing for the franchise or will people forget and not care by the time Pete Parker swings back into theaters?

The break will be good... SM3 was a bit weak, so the success of the other Marvel movies will help with anticipation to a new Spidey flic. I just wish that they would be able to do a cross-over reference (like in Hulk and Ironman). Not sure if they can/will since Columbia owns the rights to Spidey in the movies v. the new Marvel Studios.

I think its a good idea that audiences have to wait awhile for the next Spider-Man to come out because studios can be impatient and want the next movie to be created immeadiately because the latest one was successful, like a production line. ThIs would force the cast and crew of the film to start shooting without a completed script. This could most likely cause a film to suffer a little bit, like Pirates 3 for example. With three years, Sam Raimi and his crew would be able to complete a full script and do a great job without worrying about a hectic deadline. I love the Lizard and I hope Black Cat is in the series somewhere, but I hope Raimi doesn't get overambitious and creates a repeat of Spider-Man 3 {no offense to fans of that particular movie or Pirates 3 either}

3 Years is WAY too long to take to make a movie. After all, look how audiences completely forgot about each of the Star Wars sequels!
Dude. Seriously?!?

Oh come on, Mike. You saw how Spider-Man 3 turned out and that movie was rushed. We waited 3 years for another Batman movie to come out so why can't we wait 3 years for another Spider-Man? Hopefully in the time between now and the time they finally start shooting they'll have come up with something that's not half as uncomfortable to watch as Spider-Man 3 was.
