What's True and What's Not About Spiderman 4


There have been many rumors about what's going to happen with the new Spider Man. Many were concerned that Kristen Dunst would not be apart of the new movie, if there were going to be wedding bells in the new coming film, or who the new villain of the movie was going to be. Well we have answers to some of these questions!

It has been confirmed by Todd Black, the producer for the film, that Kristen Dunst will in fact be co-starring in the film as Mary Jane Watson. However, don't expect wedding bells for Mary Jane and Peter - Black told the newspaper that he was unaware of such a subplot. At the close of "Spider-Man 3," the two had an emotional - but ambiguous - reunion after the film's events drove the lovers apart.

Additionally, Black hinted at the film's villain, shooting down online rumors that pegged comic book character Morbius the Living Vampire as the latest member of Spidey's rogue gallery. Instead, the producer told the Post that the villain had a significant connection to the Big Apple.

"We're just coming up with who the villain is now," he said. "We'll be shooting in New York again. Trust me, people will appreciate who we pick, because it'll be a big part of New York."

Who do you think the potential villain could be?

Samuel L Jackson Furious Talk over Marvel Movies: Iron Man 2 & Avengers


Some headlines are touting that Samuel L Jackson may be out as Nick Fury on Iron Man 2. Hogwash. Let me tell you why.

If you've seen Iron Man and who hasn't, Nick Fury made a cameo appearance after the ending credits ...If you were smart enough to stay seated through them. Nick Fury meets Tony Stark at the bar and the light bulb goes off over every fanboys head. The thought? Marvel is going to make an Avengers movie!

Who is Nick Fury to Marvel's future plans in an Avengers team-up film? Without him you have no Avengers: Hulk, Iron Man, Thor and Captain America. When Marvel thought of Nick Fury for the big screen, they abandoned the aging white military man and went with a younger, bald black man with attitude out the wazoo. They practically designed the character after Sam Jackson, and that is a fact.


Well PCM readers, now it appears with the cost of assembling such super heroes on screen in terms actors salaries ...Jackson wants a cut. After all, Fury is a big cross-over character. He's preying on the fact Marvel re-cast this iconic chracter in Jackson's image, from physical appearance to his manner. And it is clear Sam Jackson wants a cut before Marvel has to shell out money to whomever plays Captain America and Thor.


As an aside folks ...Frankly I say they don't even go with Cap or Thor and insert Spidey as he was in later graphic novel versions of the Avengers. But even if Toby McGuire signs on, you still have another salary to negotiate for whomever plays Thor or Captain America. Either way it makes total sense for Sam Jackson to get his pay day arranged early.

To insure this, Sam Jackson recently talked dismilly about his role in the next Iron Man 2 installment. When asked who would wear Nick Fury's eye patch he answered, "Maybe nobody will wear it. Maybe they'll decide Nick Fury won't be part of it." Now Samuel

In addition to all this, Marvel confirms they are active negotiations. No doubt this is a negotiating tactic on Sam's part. If that is not enough for you, just a week ago Jackson was quoted: "I saw Jon Favreau at the Scream Awards and we had a conversation. He said, 'I hope things are working out for you because we're writing stuff for you.' "

Jackson is not going anywhere. I assure you. If he is, Fury is NOT. Fury is an integral part of the Iron Man 2 story and the future of an Avengers film.


Oh... In case you forgot, we posted this Semi-Avenger's team-up CGI master-piece posted on YouTube just a couple weeks back... Stay tuned to PCM for more...
