In an exclusive interview with the New York Post(that bastion of legit news, oh wait..), producer Todd Black let slip a few details. Most notably being that Kirsten Dunst is definitely on board. There had been some speculation that the extremely hot actress was tiring of the part and wanted to move on, with director Sam Raimin not knowing if she'd sign.
But what's also intriguing is Black's hinting as to whom the villain will be this go 'round:
"We're just coming up with who the villain's going to be now. We'll be shooting in New York again. Trust me, people will appreciate who we pick, because it'll be a big part of New York."
Wha? Speculation has it that it will be the Kingpin, since the rotund mob boss has ties everywhere from Manhattan to Hell's Kitchen. I have my doubts on this, though. First of all, I think there is some question as to whether or not the character can be used since he was last seen in the Daredevil film which is under a different studio. Also, they've seen fit to introduce yet another previously who would work just as well, and that's the Lizard. My personal opinion is that it will be one of the many Goblins (Green, Hob, or Demi), all of whom have ties to New York, especially since it was the Green Goblin who killed Peter's beloved Gwen Stacy(introduced just last film) atop the George Washington Bridge.
