Found this. Speculation but no spoilers as such.

One of the commenters at the bottom says no to MCGuire and Raimi after the mess of Spider-man 3.

I'd still like to see McGuire back as Peter just for continuity. But perhaps it is time for someone new to helm it.

Personally I didn't mind Spidey 3, ok there was too much crammed in, but it felt visually consistent with the first too films. My biggest problem was Venom, I have never liked the character and really didn't think the whole alien symbiote thing fitted in Raimi's vision of Spiderman. Raimi has said he never liked Venom, I think its obvious he felt forced into including him, so did his damnedest to screw him over.

As for Spidey 4 and 5, I would like to see The Lizard. Ok, as characters go he's as far fetched as Venom, but this is a world where getting bitten by a spider leaRAB a dude into having powers. This isn't Nolan's Batman after all. For me I'd like to see Connor's story completed.
 
Spider-Man 3 was, IMO, a terrible film. I mean genuinely bad. But so long as Raimi (and McGuire) can get things back to the quality of SM 1 and 2, I'm more than happy with this. But SM 3 really has dented my enthusiasm for this franchise.
 
Maguire looked a bit too old in the last film I reckon so they may have to get out the CGI airbrush for the next one.
I agree, Spiderman 3 was dire. Should have kept it to Goblin and Sandman and left Venom for 4.
 
The Venom story was good enough, in my opinion. Even if Raimi didn't want to include Brock and the symbiote into the story, he still did a decent enough job, in my opinion. The Venom story is more or less accurate to the one I grew up with, and although I agree it was all crammed in, that doesn't make it a terrible movie - just not a brilliant one.

Spider-Man got out of hand when people started coming in and out of warp zones and parallel dimensions, in my opinion. I don't want the franchis to become as gritty and realistic as The Dark Knight, but they are now on the verge of what I consider the ridiculous, when compared with the futuristic possibilities presented by the first two movies.
 
A few jarring moments aside (like the awful dancing bit), that's pretty much is the crux of the problem. It was two potentially good films mashed together to make one muddled, over long and crushingly disappointing one.
 
You think? Jumping the shark tenRAB to imply a franchise is out of ideas, and so resorts to the stupid. The dancing bit aside, I think the problem was far too many (perfectky good) ideas all fighting for inadequate space.
 
If they do the Lizzard, they have a very facinating story there, they haven't told. Peter/Dr Connors, who appear to have a frosty relationship because Peter isn't concentrating on school work half the time. I just hope it's not clustered like Spider Man 3...that was my only main problem with it. Too many villians, none with substance. All a bit rushed and some of the storylines were unecessary (Sandman killing Uncle Ben).

With today's effects, the Lizzard can be realised! I just hope he doesn't come off as weedy, liek Venom did! :S
 
The Lizard is a risky one to pull off at any time. I think they need to update Jabba from the special edition in '97, and that was only eleven years ago. Jurassic Park now looks a but crap now. Men In Black looks like a cheap video game cut-scene.

Eventually, you come to a point where CGI looks aged. I watch T2 on Blu Ray the other day, and the thing that blew me away wasn't the mercury-made T-1000, but the stuntman being thrown out of the truck and landing on his neck on the road.

If they do the Lizard, he will be one-hundred percent CGI, and that'll age before Maguire starts wearing wigs.
 
I would like them to tackle someone else before the Lizard, though, but who? I can't think of any that would be any good. Shocker, Rhino, The Vulture, Hydro Man is just Sandman. Maybe he should kill The Punisher.
