Turns out those rumors about more Spidey flicks are true, and both Tobey Maguire and Sam Raimi are back on board for the fourth and fifth entries to the franchise which will be shot back-to-back next fall.  No word yet whether Kirsten Dunst will return as MJ, or if Marvel’s got other love interests in mind for the Web-Head.  Likely possibilities for villains in the two films include the Lizard and the Freak (the character was introduced earlier this year in comics as the villain for a future Spidey flick, most likely Spider-Man 5).  Am I the only one still holding out for Electro?  You’ll know more when we do!
