Spider-Man 2 explores the Peter's character as he faces new challenges and struggles with "the gift and the curse," desperately trying to balance his dual identities as the web-slinging superhero Spider-Man and his life as a college student. Tormented by his secrets, Peter finds that his relationships with all those he holds dear are in danger of unraveling. His life-long yearning for M.J. (Dunst) becomes even stronger as he fights the impulse to reveal his secret life and declare his love. His friendship with Harry Osborn (Franco) is complicated by the young Osborn's bitterness over his father's death and his growing vendetta against Spider-Man. Even Peter's beloved Aunt May (Harris), who has fallen on hard times after the death of Uncle Ben, begins to have doubts about her nephew. Peter's life is about to become even more complicated as he encounters a formidable new foe -- Dr. Otto Octavius (Molina). Peter must use all the powers at his disposal to try to stop this diabolical madman in his octagonal tracks.

February 4, 2010: Logan Lerman in talks to play Peter Parker in Spidey reboot!:

January 26, 2010: Stan Lee talks Spider-Man reboot & Iron Man 2:
Who better to weigh in on the SPIDER-MAN reboot than one of his creators, Stan Lee?
In this interview with Access Hollywood, they ask Lee what he thinks about the upcoming high school reboot. From Lee's perspective, it's a great idea. He also comments about...
January 21, 2010: CAST THIS: Mary Jane:
Another Spider-Man column? That's two in a row, Tassi! Yeah, I know, but the SPIDER-MAN reboot continues to be the story of the year (well, twenty days in), and at this point last week, all we knew was that Sony was scrapping the franchise and starting over....
January 12, 2010: CAST THIS: Spider-Man!:

November 17, 2009: Stiles and Spidey?:
Damn! The internet is crazy with SPIDER-MAN 4 rumors!
After we reported that Rachel McAdams had no f*cking clue about the Black Cat issue, now the long lost Julia Stiles is being thrown into the speculation game.
The fellows over at UGO Movie Blog...
November 17, 2009: McAdams no Cat:
Last week there was a bit of buzz surrounding the possibility that Rachel McAdams would be playing Black Cat in Sam Raimi's next SPIDER-MAN venture. The character fits in with Raimi's universe, McAdams looks the part, it had all the makings of a good...
November 17, 2009: Spidey has a baby???:
If that skinnier-than-myself Venom hadn't completely nuked the fridge on the SPIDER-MAN franchise, this will surely do the trick for me, providing it is indeed what it looks to be.
The folks from Spoiler TV put their hands on the first casting call for...
November 12, 2009: Cast This: Black Cat:
I've decided that we haven't done nearly enough hottie editions of Cast This yet ( Betty and Veronica being our only ladies so far), so I think it’s time for another one, even if we’re only casting a rumor.
This week we heard from a little...
November 9, 2009: Black cat for Spidey?:
Will the sexy Felicia Hardy make an appearance as Black Cat in SPIDER-MAN 4?

October 28, 2009: Spidey 4 Villain is..?:
Not really surprising news, but not an official confirmation either; just your run-of-the-mill persistent rumor. Enough to make me look forward to Spidey 4 a little bit more, though. I know part 3 was a major let-down, but the second kicked all...
October 22, 2009: Baker back in Spidey 4:
Potentially big news for SPIDER-MAN 4, depending on whether or not you believe actors will flat out lie to keep a film’s secret. At a recent showing of TRICK 'R TREAT with writer Michael Dougherty, Dylan Baker confirmed that yes, he would reprise his...
October 13, 2009: Raimi talks Spidey 4:
Villain speculation on SPIDER-MAN 4 is only surpassed by villain speculation on BATMAN 3 (DARK KNIGHT 2?), but it's still a hot topic for debate nonetheless. But with a lot of Peter Parker's remaining foes a bit on the cartoonish side, what bad guy will fit...
September 14, 2009: More Bruce in Spidey:
Access Hollywood is usually just a few steps shy of a Paris Hilton cooking show when it comes to credible news, but any report on Bruce Campbell is worth looking into, and that one, IF true, is big potatoes.
Out promoting his part...
June 22, 2009: Uncle Ben killer back?:
So it looks like this whole SPIDER-MAN 4 thing is really happening. It feels like ages ago since the third film was released, and while casting news and plot details for the fourth have been scarce, we're slowly finding things out as the days pass. The...
June 3, 2009: Spider-Man 4 poster:

May 13, 2009: Spidey 4 script talk:
It's been a while since we've heard any news or outlandish rumor (Zac Efron is playing Mysterio! Robert Pattinson is playing Kraven! Jake Gyllenhaal is playing Ben Riley!) regarding the upcoming SPIDER-MAN 4. We know that director Sam Raimi is hard at work...
April 1, 2009: Spidey 4 script coming:
It feels like ages ago since SPIDER-MAN 3 was released to almost universal disdain from fanboys world over. After Batman came along and surpassed Spidey as the most zeitgeisty superhero franchise, we all kind of forgot about our eight-legged friend and a...
October 31, 2008: New Spidey 4 writer:
SPIDER-MAN 4 seems to be heating up at Sony. The studio had previously hired James Vanderbilt (ZODIAC) to write the script for the fourth film but apparently didn't like what they read. After Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire signed to return it seems like Sony...

May 23, 2008: Spidey 4 in 2010?:
The folks at the IESB recently got some scoopage about SPIDER-MAN 4 from Marvel Vice Chairman Peter Cuneo. He's of the belief that considering Sony has renewed their rights to the character, they'd likely wanna move on the sequel as soon as possible with a...
May 7, 2008: 2008 MTV Movie noms:
MTV recently announced the nominees for their 2008 Movie Awards and, as always, they're a little confusing, especially the addition of a "Best Summer Movie So Far" category and how BOOK OF SECRETS managed to land a "Best Movie" nod - even by MTV...
April 11, 2008: Unused Spidey 2 script:
Well see, now this is great. A while back, celebrated author Michael Chabon (WONDER BOYS) wrote a script for SPIDER-MAN 2, which didn’t get used. But now, in an act of extreme benevolence, the quirky literary journal McSweeney’s has put Chabon’s entire script...
December 19, 2007: Bunnies do Spidey 3:
Those lovable bunnies are back once again compressing Hollywood blockbusters into thirty seconds of animated hilarity. This time, they've thrown their furry hands on distilling SPIDER-MAN 3 into its hare essentials (I'm here all week, folks!). If you ever...
October 31, 2007: Spidey 4 writer!:

October 16, 2007: Raimi on Spidey 4:
To be perfectly honest, Sam Raimi didn't really talk about SPIDER-MAN 4 but we're committed to documenting even farts Raimi may have inadvertently shaped into SPIDER-MAN 4 information. Anyhoo, the folks at Collider are reporting that he recently mentioned...

July 31, 2007: Raimi talks Spidey 4:
Cinematic Spider-Man godfather Sam Raimi has so far been frustratingly vague regarding his directorial involvement in the upcoming SPIDER-MAN 4 and in a recent chat with "Empire Online", he continues this vexing trend. Says the EVIL DEAD originator :...

May 6, 2007: Spidey 4 villains?:
So I saw SPIDER-MAN 3 today (along with the rest of North America) and between the incessant sniffling that was going on beside me and the stuff on screen, I was not entirely impressed. Oh well, at least I have SURF’S UP to look forward to. But it’s...

If we held a contest to see which movie trilogy had the most news stories here on JoBlo.com, who do you think would win? LORD OF THE RINGS? PIRATES OF THE CARRIBEAN? STAR WARS? THE MATRIX? THE SANTA CLAUSE? I’m not quite sure, but the SPIDER-MAN trilogy wouldn’t...
April 11, 2007: Additional Spidey:
With all the hype that's surrounding the upcoming release of SPIDER-MAN 3, I'm going to try and kick it old school and dish out a little something on SPIDER-MAN 2, without which SPIDER-MAN 3 wouldn't be possible. Next week, to coincide with the hysteria that...
April 4, 2007: Spider-Man Day?:
Part of me really laments the fact that my son, now 5, isn't old enough to see the SPIDER-MAN movies in the theater. He's a huge Spidey fan from the toys and cartoons but the movies, especially now with Venom, I think would be a little too much for him. Instead...
April 3, 2007: Spidey 3 quads:
Apologies if the title lead you to believe this was a story about Spidey's ripped, devastatingly strong quadriceps. There's no doubt that Spidey's quads are well-defined, solid stumps of oak but we're here to discuss quad posters , you see. Quad posters, as you...

May 29, 2006: Spidey 3 set pics:
A friend of mine has maintained a theory on SPIDER-MAN 3 that the pictures of Thomas Haden Church in Sandman garb and the reports that Topher Grace is Eddie Brock were merely some sort of intentionally misleading marketing stunt. Church is Brock and Grace is...

April 11, 2006: Church talks Venom:
It's gotta suck to be Thomas Hayden Church right now while he's out doing the press rounds for his work in the animated OVER THE HEDGE . Not only is he constantly bombarded with questions about

April 7, 2006: Church talks Spidey 3:
While doing the press rounds for OVER THE HEDGE, Thomas Hayden Church was, of course, grilled about his work as Flint Marko aka Sandman on SPIDER-MAN 3 . When asked about Raimi's directorial style, he mentioned "It's very choreographed because, not unlike...
March 31, 2006: S3 official plot?:
Several of you have been cool enough to inform us of this plot synopsis for SPIDER-MAN 3 which Garth first posted over at "Dark

January 30, 2006: Spidey 3 pics...:
They're grainy, they're blurry and they're completely out of context and make no sense. So pretty much exactly what you thought the first set pics from SPIDER-MAN 3 would be like. A couple of shots of Kirsten Dunst filming a scene from SPIDER-MAN 3 are online...
January 24, 2006: More Spidey 3 casting:
Well it's not the Felicia Hardy we know and love but we do get a BLACK female in SPIDER-MAN 3. Actress Theresa Russell (BLACK WIDOW) has signed on to co-star in the film as the wife of Sandman, aka Flint Marko (Thomas Haden Church). From what I remember...
January 19, 2006: Gwen Stacy! Venom! Confirmed!:
AICN first dropped the scoop last night and both Variety and Hollywood Reporter confirmed it this morning with some added nuggets; Bryce Dallas Howard has signed on to star in SPIDER-MAN 3 as Gwen Stacy. Kinda ironic that they signed a redhead to play a blonde...

October 6, 2005: Venom costume sucks?:

September 26, 2005: Spidey 3 villains are...:
I have a feeling Avi Arad isn't gonna be too happy with his SPIDER-MAN 3 star Kirsten Dunst. The actress, while out promoting ELIZABEHTOWN, trumped Marvel and Sony by revealing the two villians Thomas Haden Church and Topher Grace would be playing in the third...
September 8, 2005: Topher is Venom?:
Most of us had pretty much given up hope of seeing Venom in SPIDER-MAN 3 . Sam Raimi has
mentioned numerous times that he dislikes the character and couldn't see him fitting into where he plans on taking Spidey. I also think most of us were cool with not...
August 3, 2005: More S3 villain rumors:
First of all, I want to issue a MAJOR SPOILER ALERT for the following article. There have been no indications that this is anything but a rumor but on the one in a million chance that it's actually true then you might wanna do other stuff right about now. In...
July 27, 2005: Spidey 3 villain who?:
This rumor has been gaining some steam so I suppose we better talk about it before more rumors come along and we're left with a backlog of undiscussed SPIDER-MAN 3 rumors. The rumor apparently originated from the site development-hell.com where they...
July 6, 2005: 4 Spidey villains?:
Here's what we DO know about SPIDER-MAN 3. It stars Thomas Haden Church and Topher Grace as villains. It's set for release on May 4, 2007. And that's about it, other than the obvious Tobey-Maguire-is-returning stuff. We presume this will be the last...

SPIDER-MAN

Wednesday, as it gathered $40.5 million to beat its own
predecessor's record of $39.5 million set by SPIDER-MAN back in
2002....
June 30, 2004: INT: Sam Raimi:
It’s hard to resist comparing Sam Raimi’s story to that
of Peter Parker. Like Parker, Sam was
just regular guy working in relative anonymity, largely underappreciated by the
people around him, until one event catapulted him into the limelight.

film went through the roof. We've had to listen to the rumors of Tobey being
replaced with...
June 29, 2004: INT: Kirsten Dunst:
Kirsten Dunst is rapidly making comic book fans forget the
name Lois Lane. As the spunky redhead
Mary Jane Watson, Peter Parker’s longtime crush and favorite target of
Spider-Man’s foes, she’s propelled herself to the top of the superhero babe
list....
June 28, 2004: INT: Tobey Maguire:
This Wednesday, Tobey Maguire returns to the role that made
him a superstar as he once again web-slings across the Manhattan skyline in S PIDER-MAN
2 . Two years ago his

June 25, 2004: INT: Alfred Molina:
One of the most
exciting aspects of S PIDER-MAN
2 is the
introduction of a new villain, Dr. Octopus, played by Alfred Molina.
Up until now, the technology simply wasn’t there to create a film
version of the classic Spidey nemesis that...
June 24, 2004: Spidey's red carpet:
Everyone seemed to be a feisty mood on the red carpet this past Wednesday for
the LA premiere of
SPIDER-MAN 2 (and by feisty, I mean gay). There's a suspicious lack of
hotties in tiny dresses for one of the biggest movies of the year. Sarah
Michelle...
June 24, 2004: INT: James Franco:
With a $200 million budget and an A-list cast,
one would naturally assume SPIDER-MAN
2 to be the most talked about film these days .
Not so – with all of the controversy surrounding Michael
Moore’s FAHRENHEIT 9/11 , the highly
anticipated...
June 21, 2004: Spidey 2 pics & poster:

I'm not going to waste too much of your time other than to say

that its premiere on Yahoo Movies would lead to a crappy little streaming video
feed,...
December 11, 2003: Spidey trailer news:
