‘Spider-Man 4′ and ‘Venom’ are Coming
Both a Spider-Man sequel and a spin off based on Venom are in the pipeline.
Filmsy.com reports on Spider-Man 4:
Sam Raimi said that writer James Vanderbilt is about to finish the script to the next sequel. Raimi has gone on to say that he is excited to read the script and he hopes that it is good enough that he will want to be involved again.
Sony is hoping to release Spider-Man 4 in 2011, as for Venom Empire.com says:
Jacob Estes (Mean Creek) has already been commissioned to write a script, although The Hollywood Reporter says that Sony may decide to pass on that script and is looking at new writers. With no script in place, there’s no news on which version of Venom the movie would follow. It could be Eddie Brock (played by Topher Grace in Spider-Man 3, though Grace has not been approached to reprise his role), which would require some back-pedalling given the end of of Spidey 3, or it could be one of the later characters who are overtaken by the alien symbiote. If Sony was feeling particularly daring, it could even be a woman, based on the comic book lore.
Interesting stuff, but it looks like Venom won’t come until after Spider-Man 4. So now, all we can do is wait, and speculate.
