At the premiere for "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" on Saturday, Bruce Campbell told "Access Hollywood" that "Spider-Man 4" will start shooting in January 2010 and that he'll have a "Major part".

Access Hollywood" said:

The actor, who has a long relationship with director Sam Raimi due to his lead role in the "Evil Dead" trilogy, made memorable cameos in the first three "Spider-Man" films.

However, he may have a bigger role this time around. Bruce told "Access" that in the next installment in the superhero franchise, he’s been told he has a major part – but didn’t yet know anything about his character.



Expect ol' web-head to be swingin' around in May 6, 2011

He coined the term "Spider-Man" in the first movie, He actually beat Spider-man in the second movie,and he helped Spidey propose to MJ (but failed) in the third movie. Could he probably be what all of us hoped he would be in the fourth movie? If it is whom we wish it to be, could this mean that Sam Raimi has FINALLY added the Sinister Six in the picture? Only time will tell.
Oh, and if you don't know whom I am talking about, I am talking about Mysterio for a possible role.

ROCK ON!

Yeah three villains did great in the third movie. Let's have the sinister six in the fourth. Hey in the fifth they should have 12 villains.

Hurray for Bruce! Bring on Mysterio! I can just see him delivering a line like, "Whatdoyamean I'm the face of evil...I don't even have a face!" lol

Rockingrich, just one minor correction. The relationship between the Raimis and Campbell goes back to their childhood.

Bruce is the main reason I watch "Burn Notice" on TV, religiously! I am just a huge Bruce fan!

Thank you Bruce for all the wonderful fun you have given me with The Adventures of Brisco County Jr., The Evil Dead, Bubba Ho Tep and now Burn Notice! Bring on Mysterio and give Bruce his just dues of being one of the headliners in Spiderman 4.

Oh, and Bruce was simply wonderful on Hercules as a thinly disguised Greek version of Robin Hood called Autolycus, King of Thieves! That was such a great character!

I would rather have Electro in it than Mysterio, I like both characters, but I like Electro a little better. I guess its Lizard and Mysterio for Spidey 4, not bad.

Just keep Kraven OUT of a Spidey film, he makes Hammerhead look like an interesting character.

A storyline with Kraven and Spider-Man playing cat and mouse with Lizard for almost 2 hours would be way too boring and would be a franchise killer.

ROCKING @ We know lol, hey fingers crossed it is though, or even BRUCE playing the guy who eventually becomes MYSTERIO will just be as sweet! (Nearly lol).

Fingers crossed! ; D

LEEE777 - 9/13/2009, 9:22 AM
Dellamorte @ MYSTERIO is a second rate villain, he would be the same if he was in SPIDEY 4! After all, if LIZARDS in it, it'll mainly be a LIZARD movie, who says MYSTERIO would even have a BIG role???

You never know.

flames809 - 9/13/2009, 9:26 AM
he cant be mysterio if he was three different people in all the spiderman movies hes has to be the villain that can be anyone one he wants it would make better sense

I agree with Flames809. I would think he could be Dmitri Smerdyakov The Chameleon though. It could also give an excuse to bring in Kraven the Hunter since Dmitri is half brother to him. The story could be that The Chameleon was in New York scouting for prey for Kraven. He meets Peter in Spiderman and is keeping a close eye on him in II and III.

Mysterio without a doubt. But he shouldn't be a main villain in Spidey 4. A news report about a man named Quentin Beck being fired from his Hollywood job, and it shows a little clip of Beck.

Can anyone say Mysterio? I hope Mysterio is at the start of the movie, get the action levels ramped up. Have Spidey beat Mysterio at the start of the movie as a quick villain (and set him up for a Spidey Six to be a member of the Sinister Six), then introduce the main plot with the Lizard transformed and Kraven hunting the Lizard. It will then be an interesting, self contained, more easily understood plot with two villains who are related to each other

BRUCE CAMPBELL IS THE MAN!

@SpideyFan1982
Electro would be a stupid villain for Spidey 4, nothing to do with Lizard whatsoever and we would end up with a "Sandman & Venom" situation again where the villains have nothing to do with each other! But I would love to see Electro in Spidey 5 as a villain
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 9/13/2009, 12:02 PM
Dancing @ Yeah we don't need ELECTRO, leave him for SPIDEY 5 or 6!

LIZARD needs to be done, its about time they used him an the actor too for sticking with it!

OZY @ He's about!! : D

KERO @ Lol!

TYLER @ luv the picture dude! ; )

Lizard and Kraven for Spidey 4. News story about Beck being fired, and news story about Max Dillon being in an electrical accident.

Electro and Scorpion for Spidey 5.

Here's hoping for a Mysterio fight to kick off the start of the movie!!! Shocker would be cool but Mysterio would be a great character if they're planning on The Sinister Six!!! :D
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 9/13/2009, 12:50 PM
Still, i really hope that the main villain is either Electro or Scorpion!!! I have always found Kraven and Lizard to be two of Spider-Man's most boring villains! What's so great about a freakin hunter with no powers and a man-lizard!?! Just imagine the fight scenes between Spidey and Electro or Scorpion!!!

he has to be chameleon it would make better sense he cant not be mysterio

yea, i can see him as mysterio without a doubt. he was the doorman for mj's play in spider-man 2 and wouldn't let peter in because he was late, and he said something to peter about keeping the illusion for the audience. i can't remember exactly what it was, but i just thought it was kind of funny cause he was alluding to some kind of illusion.

I don't know why this is a big deal, he said that about Spider-man 2 about how his character defeats Spidey. I doubt he'll have anything major like a villain. I'll bet it's going to be more of the same, just a little more screen time.
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 9/13/2009, 1:33 PM
He wouldnt be The Chameleon - he always impersonates someone different not the same person! They could easily ignore the past appearences (because they were just cameos) but if not they could alter Quentin Beck's backstory a little and say that he's an actor as well!

@joshw24 I totally agree. I think that if Raimi takes liberties the way Chris Nolan has with Batman, the storyline can be amazing. Turn Beck into a failed actor/special effects coordinator. You could even tie-in a hostage MJ because she got him fired.

I want to see if Raimi can take this character and make it something new. Bruce Campbell could help him do that. And really, I still want Black Cat in Spider Man 4.

My hope is this:

Mysterio, Lizard, Kraven, Black Cat. At the end, Kraven gets away and escapes to a destroyed Oscorp where a revived Norman Osborn is.

Spiderman 5 brings in Electro and maybe a few more.

Spiderman 6: Sinister 6--Electro, Kraven, Green Goblin, Mysterio, and some others.

Yes?
InTylerWeTrust
InTylerWeTrust - 9/13/2009, 1:51 PM
This is my hope:

Spiderman 4: Lizard and Kraven, Kraven is sent off to max security prison, Lizard escapes into sewers, news stories about Max Dillon electrical accident, and Beck being fired

Spiderman 5: Electro and Scorpion main villains, sub-plot about Spidey thinking he is seeing Uncle Ben's killer, Electro and Scorpion are sent to max security prison, last scene with Mysterio in a dark room, and the killer comes out of the shadows, and morphs into Chameleon, Mysterio drops a folder with the title "Operation S6" onto a table

Spiderman 6: Sinister 6- Electro, Scorpion, and Kraven busted out, those 3 meet with Mysterio and Chameleon in the room at the end of Spidey 5, and Roderick Kingsley (Hobgoblin) arrives, proposing a team of sorts.
