/Film and ScreenRant both reported that Sony canceled Spider-man 4 today. After a few setbacks and schedule issues, Sony and Sam Raimi (the director) decided to part ways. Raimi will move on to other projects, and Sony wants to reboot the Spiderman franchise for a return to theaters in 2012.
Future movies won't follow the letdown that was Spider-man 3, so hopefully we'll have good Spider-man stories again. Sony said they'll reboot with Peter Parker back in high school dealing with his abilities and real-world problems. I haven't seen a lot of Spider-man in his high school years, so this is good news for me. I'm excited to see where they go with it. I loved the first four seasons of Smallville simply because they were about Clark Kent in high school and that was something that wasn't shown on television before. If the reboot works out, the sequels could continue to be about Peter's high school years. The cool thing about sequels is that they don't have a specified time between stories. The sequel could be later that year, the following year, or jump a few years.
I didn't mind Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker/Spider-man, but a new actor in the role will be refreshing. I wonder which villains will be in the reboot, and I hope Peter gets his snarky banter back.
