Cinematical got a rather interesting scoop from a source who says that Spiderman 4 and 5 may end up being filmed at the same time.

Apparently, in the last few weeks, James Vanderbilt (Zodiac) has turned in a working draft of Spider-Man 4 to the studio. However, according to our source, “his story arc has encompassed two films, making Spider-Man 5 shootable at the same time. The studio saw dollar signs and is in the process of reworking his deal to snatch up the story arc.” Don’t expect anything immediately, though, since we’ve been told both sides are still trying to negotiate the deal.

This is quite exciting if true. No word on whether the fabulous three will return, Tobey, Kirsten and director Sam Raimi. Having completed the trilogy they may want to move on, however at this point in time I can’t image anyone else playing Spiderman.

What are your thoughts on this?
