First of all, don't you think it's silly to get fans all excited when nothing has really been decided at this point except that the people in your office would like to make another movie? And why wouldn't you, with such a meaty cash-cow on your hands? But I must say, without a script, director, or cast, I'm a little upset that you'd put fans through this.
I'd like to be optimistic about all of this, since I'm a big fan of the character and thought the first two movies were fantastic (lets disregard the third one having been made, for Venom's sake), but I'm feeling about as confident as star Tobey Maguire is sure about returning for a fourth feature. Without both him and Raimi, this film will be a mistake. And mark my words, there will be backlash if you try to make it without them.
Yes, you'll still make money, but isn't there some part of you that wants to make a quality film? And in a film franchise like the one that has been created for Marvel's most relatable hero, consistency is everything. Just look at what happened to the X-Men franchise under a change in leadership.
That all being said, I'd like to hope that this announcement is serving as some kind of rallying call for the creative minds behind these movies and get them in the spandex again for one final hurrah!
Just please, leave the strange dance sequences and Gwen Stacy behind...we will all appreciate you for it.
