Bruce Campbell Says 'Spidey 4' Has More Bruce

Who knows whether or not Bruce Campbell is just having fun with the press, but the greatest chin in show business told Access Hollywood that he'll be back in Spider-Man 4. OK, so that part's not news; Campbell has had cameos in each of the previous three movies in the series and his working relationship with Sam Raimi goes back 30 years. But Access Hollywood asked Campbell on the red carpet for Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs to give a status report on Spidey 4, and the actor said he would have a bigger role in the film, but confessed not knowing what his character would be. Campbell did say that filming would begin in January but was not forthcoming with details about who the villain or villains would be. So I wonder if Campbell would be one of the villains? Just a thought, not a hunch. Sony currently has Spider-Man 4 hitting theaters on May 6, 2011, but we don't know for sure if the script is even ready. Earlier this summer, Gary Ross was brought in to clean up earlier versions of the screenplay by James Vanderbilt (Zodiac) and David Lindsay-Abaire. Therefore, I would think shooting depends on how long Ross takes to craft the screenplay, although six months should be more than enough since he has plenty of material to draw from. Personally, I would love to see more of Campbell in a Spider-Man movie. Hell, I'd take him over Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane. Again, he could just be humoring himself, but I hope there's something to it rather than just another two minutes on screen. Bruce is good enough to have a big role in a blockbuster, don't you think? I mean, they gave one to Topher Grace.
