Premiere Magazine had interview with Sam Raimi, director of all three Spider-Man and Evil Dead films, which hinted that he might want to do a fourth film. According to the interview, Raimi said he'd have to make sure he was still, "fascinated with the character" before he did it. And he said: "At this moment I'm fascinated with him."
Raimi was then asked if he would do another Spider-Man movie without Tobey Maguire. He replied, "I'd rather not... I couldn't imagine it."
This kind of helps confirm my prediction for the ending of "Spider-Man 3". Many thought Venom would be introduced and then saved for the 4th film, but the contracts for all the actors only extend to two sequels after the first movie. Furthermore Raimi acted like he may be ready to move on after "Spider-Man 3" unless he feels otherwise. So it makes sense he'd give a partial sense of closure to the sequel coming out this spring. In any case, if the third movie doesn't suck, I'd love him to make another. He's done well so far and there's still so much that can be done with the character. Plus I'm getting kind of tired of all these trilogies. Movie franchises these days have to be trilogies for some reason. If you have to have sequels to a movie lets have one franchise that breaks the trend a bit and goes beyond three movies. Maybe its a bad idea, maybe not. We'll never know until someone tries.
If "Spider-Man 4" is made it means Tri-Star/Sony Pictures will have to spend more money and time to re-negociate the actors' contracts and prehaps even Sam Raimi's. Hope they're up to it if they want a fourth film!
