[Movies] Malkovich In For Spider-Man 4 Posted by Chris Lansdell on 01.10.2010
Confirms he is waiting for the script...
Some Spider-Man 4 news has come down the pipes as John Malkovich has confirmed that he is waiting for the final script to be sent to him. He also confirmed that the movie has been delayed.
Malkovich was rumored to be up for the role of The Vulture a month ago, and in an interview with an Italian sports show (full transcript available here...in Italian), he didn't deny his involvement. Here is a translated excerpt from the article...
"When conductor Simona Ventura asked him about his role of Vulture in the movie, he not only didn't deny his involvement, but confirmed that he's waiting for the final script to be sent to him, and that the movie has been delayed. He also hopes that shooting will begin as soon as possible."
Malkovich was an alternate to Willem Dafoe for the Green Goblin role in the first movie, so it's not hard to see him being chosen for this role. The doubt comes from the fact that The Vulture is a much smaller villain in Spider-Man lore than the others that have been used, and Sony may not want to let him be the chief bad guy.
