Tobey Maguire Isn't Intense, He Just Looks That Way

Tobey.jpgThe cast of "Spider-Man 3" walked the red carpet in Japan on Monday at the world premiere of the hopefully final installment of one of the best superhero film franchises. But talk is swirling about a possible "Spider-Man 4," and both Maguire and Kirsten Dunst seem apprehensive.

According to Variety: "Maguire has been coy about whether this is his final "Spider-Man" movie. 'I feel like this film is kind of a natural conclusion to a lot of stuff that's happened in the first two movies,' Maguire said. 'It kind of feels like a natural trilogy,' the 31-year-old actor said, adding that he's open to donning the Spider-Man suit again 'if a story presents itself, if we come up with something we feel deserves to be told.' I'm not going to make them just because they've been successful.'"

Dunst told Entertainment Weekly that she would only return if Maguire and director Sam Raimi did as well. ''It's disrespectful to the whole team, I think, to do that. And audiences aren't stupid," she said. "It'd be a big flop without me, Tobey, or Sam. That would really not be the smartest move. But they know that already. [Sony chief] Amy Pascal would never do that.''

Raimi is reportedly interested in filming "The Hobbit," depending on whether Peter Jackson settles his feud with New Line. Despite saying ''Peter Jackson might be the best filmmaker on the planet right now," which makes him delusional in my book, Raimi could be capable of pulling off "The Hobbit." But do we want a "Spider-Man 4"? Sony's President of Production Matt Tolmach seems to think so, according to EW.

''Listen, we're making Spider-Man 4," he said. Our hope, dream, and intention is to do it with Sam. But I don't have a crystal ball.''
