Spiderman 4 may be coming in 2010.

Val Kilmer is in The Thaw.

Following the news that Spiderman 4 and 5 may be filmed back to back, there are rumors of a potential release date for the first of the two. IESB through Cinematical spoke to Peter Cuneo, Vice President of Marvel.

As far as Spider-Man 4, it's really up to Sony and it up to them, most likely scenario is 2010 or 2011 but we can't speak for them and I think that we don't know. They have given us their re-up payment for that film so you know they're going to make it within a reasonable timeframe. Sony may be looking at some issues with the cast and so on, I think they have to make some decisions.

Hopefully this means there will be some more movement soon. Surely Sony wouldn't pay to re new their rights and then sit on it for ages. They will have to decide soon though if the old team are back, or if there is to be a new Spiderman.

Val Kilmer has a new role. Bloody Disgusting say he is has signed on for The Thaw, a horror about a parasite that is set loose when a woolly mammoth is thawed. Am I the only one with Iceman jokes in their head right now?
