Bummer news. Tony Black, producer on the Spider-Man franchise, has confirmed via the NY Post that Kirsten Dunst will reprise her role as Mary Jane. Dunst appeared rather fed up with the franchise during the third film’s promotion phase which gave me high hopes that they would have the chance to bring in an actress [...]

There’s no script, no lead actress, nothing at all, but “Spider-Man 4″ does have a release date and now its very first poster.

Oh great, just what “Spider-Man 4″ needs, more song and dance numbers like that crapfest Jazz club scene in SM3. Lindsay-Abaire, [...]

Lo and behold, Sony has held on to their cash cow franchise for at least another two generations. After much speculation that Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst would not be returning it turns out that Maguire has signed on to continue in the role of Peter Parker. Not only has Maguire agreed to return but [...]
