Exclusive: Spider-Man 4 Villain Revealed?

By Josh Tyler: 2007-03-22 19:12:03
Exclusive: Spider-Man 4 Villain Revealed? Spider-Man 3 is still a couple of months away, but it’s starting to look like Sony is already hard at work on plotting Spider-Man 4. In fact, they may already be talking about who will be the film’s big villain. According to one of our more reliable sources, the guy that’s getting the most consideration is a newer Spider-Man enemy named Morlun.

Till now most of Spidey’s enemies in the films have been more well traveled, classic faces from his extensive rogues gallery, but Morlun is relatively new to Peter Parker’s universe. Co-created by ‘Babylon 5’ godfather J. Michael Straczynski, Morlun first appeared in “Amazing Spider-Man” comics in 2001. Here’s how Marvel describes him: “Morlun is a vampiric being who has walked the earth for centuries. He feeds on the totems-- the core power sources of the universe. While he can feed on lesser sources such as humans and super humans, he requires a pure source to fully satiate his hunger.”

If this is really the direction they’re thinking of going for the fourth movie, it’s a serious departure from the previous three films. Battling Morlun sounds like they’d be skating on the edge of getting Spidey involved with magic, something that Raimi’s films have shied away from.

But then we don’t know if Raimi will be back, do we? Our inside source has the scoop on that as well. Apparently it’s not as much of a foregone conclusion that Spider-Man 3 will be the last movie for Raimi, Maguire, and Dunst as some think. Despite statements to the contrary, word is that the cast and crew is still undecided about whether or not to return. Unfortunately, of the big three the one that’s now most open to returning is Kirsten, who seems to be waiting around to see what Sam Raimi does. Apparently it’s not just about whether or not Raimi wants to come back, Sony isn’t sure whether or not they actually want him.

If Raimi is out, taking the franchise on a sharp left turn and using a radically different villain like Morlun might make sense. As long as you’re changing out the cast and crew, why not fiddle with the tone of the series as well?

For now, please remember to take all of the above only as unsupported rumor and conjecture. Our source has proven reliable in the past, but nothing is certain until Sony says it is.

  • what about micheal morvious (vampire) which could be a good one plus you can still add the sandman back in the film to help spidy as what he did to his uncle repay spidy
  • sorry, not one ov my favor. villins
  • HI

    U GUYS SHOULD PUT RHINO AS THE SUPER VILLIAN OR SO IT CAN BE BETTER PUT Iron Man
  • Change my mind, only want Carnag, Lizrad, return of Venom. Venom only got like 15 minutes so it wouldn`t make sense for him not cuming back
  • Underworld 1&2, Van Helsing and even Blood and Chocolate are not marvel you noob but what would be cool if spidy faught the vampire guy with a camio of blade (played by wesly snipes) sorry for the spelling errors im typing in a herry but anyways another good villen would be the lizerd but with the intro of carneg but have him in a new film thats what the screwed up on in spidy 3 venom should of had his own film and topher grace wanting more face time that fucker. sorry about the swearing but i think we all agree.
  • Oh yeah, and on the Spiderman movie network it said Jim Carrey might play Carnage, which I do NOT want! It also said either the guy that plays Indiana Jones or the guy that plays Iron Man might play Carnage, and I DON`t WANT EITHER OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!! And for Electro, I`m not sure yet.
  • Oh, and Chad, Sam Raimi wants Kraven to be one of the next competitors? If Kraven wins his golden-award into the fourth film, I`ll be done having Spiderman as my homeboy! If your gonna be a villain, you need a better skill than the hero. Kraven is too wimpy and lame. Also I think the perfect actor to play Carnage would be the star of " The Bourne Ultimitum." Now like I was saying:
    SPIDERMAN 4 BETTER BE A HEAL OF A GREAT MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Because of the success they made with the descent action in Spiderman 3, Spiderman 4 should be another fenominal hit, and since it`s going to come the latest as it is going to come later than Spiderman 3, Spiderman 4 should be the best as it should be even better than Spiderman 3. There should be more than Carnage and Lizard. Their team isn`t as powerful as the team of the three villains from Spiderman 3, so it wouldn`t make Spiderman 4 as good as Spiderman 3. I think they should add Electro because he is like the best villain there is. And because of the way things are going between Spiderman and Sandman, they should team up at the end against Carnage, Lizard, and Electro.
  • Ok, We know the top three villains Raimi wants are:

    Kraven
    Lizard
    Carnage

    2 is the limit for villains in the movies now, so 90% is it will be Lizard and Carnage.
  • I recon the lizard will definatly be in the 4th one, and Morlun would be best for the last film, making it all diabolical and OMG so people dont go "oh no not another spidey film"
  • i think it starts like this: spiderman swinging along the city then morlun pushes spidey in the water morlun jumps in spidey trys to drown him but morlun is too strong and he throws spidey in to 10 pipes spideys said who the heck is that? then morlun rips the spider off his chest he trys to unmask spiderman but then vultre come along and trys to kill spiderman then a punkin bomb comes then BOOM! the hobgobiln and kingpin come on the skystick later the green goblin breaks out of his coffin he looks like a zombie then goes looking for spiderman his mask and suit was on him then spiderman flees he goes in the sewer goes to his home peter fucks MJ (adults only for that part) unless u are 15 mj sucks peters cock (adult) then green goblin goes stabs aunt may then alfer mj and pet have sex mj goes to the store and spidey finds a rocket in the backyard he trys to start it up it works later j johen jameson gets a posen turns in to wolfman jamesons son get the red alien stuff the end
  • HEY MAN I THINK YOU GOT RIPPED OFF because I read this "Till now most of Spidey’s enemies in the films have been more well traveled, classic faces from his extensive rogues gallery, but Morlun is relatively new to Peter Parker’s universe." on comicbookmovie.com.... here's the link http://www.comicbookmovie.com/news/articles/3473.asp
  • the think that it has to be carnage because dr connors still has part of the symbiote
  • as much as i have enjoyed the 3 previos films, it has come to my attention that marry jane seems to always be in a spot off bother. if they make a 4th film they will need something new and refreshing. i understand that this is like the comics and cartoons but i beleive that it has been to prodictable. the ending to number 4 prodictable or not? with great power comes great responsability.
  • i am of course new to this comment box but heres my idea on villians. as we all know dr.conners will come as lizard that is a given. but to add i think they should have wolfman he was in the comics jamesons son returning from space with an effectious disease that turns him into the wolf and electro he was a very cool villian and in the cartoons as well as comics. now ive heard they may add someone to team up with spiderman so i think wolverine or johny the flame would be good. anyway thats my ideas look forward to more commenting and watching other comments.
  • personally i see lizard and kraven the hunter (not carnage, leave him until spidey 5) as the next villians of spidey 4. i think idea of the sinister six is completely absurd.
  • Ok so Lizard is a definate. Dr. Collins has been in all three so he definatley is there. Kingpin would be hard to incorprate seeing is how he died in Daredevil. And i thought there was a vampire in the Spidey cartoons...

    Anyways, Spiderman 4 I think should go like this
    Heroes- Spiderman and Mary Jane (Black Cat)

    Villans: Lizard (Underlinig villian)
    Mysterio (Main Villan)

    At like the end they should show Venom returning and the emergence of Carnage.... Therefore setting Spiderman 5

    Or just have Spiderman 4 completely about it
  • Black cat is Felica Hardy not gwen stacey, in the original comics Gwen was thought dead after the bridge encounter with Green goblin (like the first movie)
    whoever they put in they have to make it a lil darker Morlun would be good as Spidey really had to fight for his life and was scared, carnage is the obvious choice but a crossover might be better, like punisher and spidey
  • you guys all have it wrong it's going to be carnage (venom symbiotite),kraven,and the lizard! carnage being the guy with all the symbiotite on him, and the lizard using the dna, and kraven will come in just to kill the lizard and he wll end up getting his butt kicked by spider-man!!!
  • I was really looking foward to seeing Scorpion as the next villain! Morlun is a horrible idea for Spiderman!! The Lizard would be a good choice also. BRING ON SCORPION!!!!!!!
  • i think its going to be Carnage,Lizard,Mysterio and Parker's aunt would die.Venom would not be repeated.
  • I agree that Carnage will be in it but I'm sure that they will not use Hydro man until at least the fifth movie.

    p.s. Morlun would ruin the movie what is it with you people
  • i think spidey's next villain would be
    1.Carnage
    2.Venom again
    3.Hydro man
    but i think there is also a little chances of lizard,morlun,black cat mysterio.if morlun would be spidey's villain it would too boar.
  • I came up with a great plot 4 spider man 5. Imagine a whole new Sinister six with black cat as their leader. It could consist of Black cat, Jackal, Morbius, Kraven, Allister Smyth, and my personal favorite Hydro man. Now how's that for a group of powerfull villains!?
  • Pardon me but I know that there will again be three villains in this one

    1. the Lizard


    2. Carnage

    3. the Hobgoblin

    I am almost positive.
