Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire Back For Spider-Man 4! and 5?

If Spider-Man 3 was as great as Spider-Man 2 then I probably would be jumping for joy right about now. But sequels can always redeem a series and it looks like we won't just be getting a fourth film but a fifth film also, both shot back to back. And yes, Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire will return!

Sony have signed both Raimi and Maguire for Spider-Man 4, Deadline Hollywood Daily reports. Sony also want Spider-Man 4 and Spider-Man 5 shot at the same time using James Vanderbilt's script that is said to span two films.

The character of Mary Jane is said to be included in both films but Kirsten Dunst is yet to be signed on. As for the villian in Spider-Man 4, the site says that once we find out who the villain is we'll know who is playing it. Sounds like we will finally be seeing The Lizard aka Dr. Curt Connors (Dylan Baker).

And as for that Venom Spin-off the site also reports that Topher Grace, who played the character in Spider-Man 3, is still the front-runner because "the likeable actor could be a sympathetic evildoer" Is that what we want? Venom as a sympathetic evildoer? Come on!

So does a Spider-Man 4 and a Spider-Man 5 get you all excited? Or are you in who cares mode?
