Is Raimi REALLY considering Morbius as next Spidey Villain!

Here’s a new rumor to fill your movie gossip minds… apparently, in a recent issue of Empire magazine, Sam Raimi was interviewed about ‘Spider-Man 4’ and the following comment was made by mister Raimi:

“I like it in the Marvel comics when Spider-Man fights Morbius,† said Raimi. “He’s really cool. A vampire! I like that combination of superhero plus supernatural.†

So, while this is not a guarantee of any sort, it seems Raimi has an idea of what he’d like to do for the next film if he gets his way. This, of course, means that The Lizard may (or may not) be out of the picture. While he’s an interesting character, the idea of focusing on (at least solely) The Lizard would be less than extraordinary. I like where Raimi’s mind is going. I’m ready for a darker Spider-Man story… a “well-done” darker story, not the attempt that ‘Spider-Man 3’ was. Sure, the vampire comic book thing is beginning to be a frequent source of material, but come on… this would be cool. What do you think? Is this a step in the right direction? Is it a bad idea, or just what the fans want? Let us know by leaving your comments.
