Tobey Maguire and director Sam Raimi will not be returning for "Spiderman 4" which is delayed now for 2012.  It said that James Vanderbilt is writing the screenplay and it will focus on Peter Parker in high school. I'm very upset that this is happening to tell you the truth for the fact that Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire are not part of this project. Raimi is the brains and the torch of light of the "Spiderman" movies. He is an awesome director if you have not seen "Army of Darkness." The studio decided to reboot the franchise than replace Maguire. I don't know how to really react to this. I mean they did a wise decision on not replacing him though. With the departure of Raimi, he was feeling the pressure from the studio to meet the deadline for the summer 2012 release date. Another factor in this controversy was the casting of the villian, The Vulture. It is said that John Malkovich is cast as the villain, which Raimi and the studio were disagreeing about it.

This is where movies like the "Spiderman" franchise where it gets lost or out of whack because of the quick pressures of the studio. There seems to be no time to produce a well written and directed movie that fans will adore. I mean I didn't care for "Spiderman 3", but was decent. I don't know what's going on in the comic book franchise as things like this continue to happen. It's beginning to become a big mess that is taking the enjoyment of watching our beloved superheroes on the big screen.
