"Spider-Man 4" starts filming March 2010 in New York City and Michigan, the next installment in Columbia's Marvel Comics' movie franchise, to be directed by Sam "Darkman" Raimi.

The first 3 films earned $2,496,346,518 worldwide, on budgets of $100 million each.

Actor Tobey Maguire will return as 'Peter Parker', a goofy teenager bitten by a radioactive spider, giving him super-powers AND super-problems.

Fans are still undecided as to which "Spider-Man" comic book villains they would like to see on the big screen, with 'The Lizard' and 'Electro' among the most popular.

According to reports the character of 'Felicia Hardy', created by writer Marv Wolfman and illustrator Keith Pollard, debuting in "The Amazing Spider-Man" #194 (July 1979), as a 'cat burglar', crime fighter and adventurer, will instead play 'The Vulturess', with actress Anne Hathaway being considered for the role.

Both the Lizard and Electro were created in the 1960's, for Marvel's "Amazing Spider-Man" comic books, by writer Stan Lee and illustrator Steve Ditko.

'The Lizard', aka 'Curt Connors' was a surgeon who enlisted in the service to help wounded GIs, but his arm was injured and had to be amputated. Connors then became obsessed with uncovering the secrets of 'reptilian regeneration' from his home in the Everglades, extracting a serum taken from the DNA of a lizard.

Successfully regrowing the missing limb of a rabbit, Connors quickly ingested the serum , regrowing his arm, but also transforming into a reptilian monster.

'Electro', aka 'Maxwell Dillon' had ambitions of being an electrical engineer, taking a job as a lineman for an electric company.

While repairing a power line still connected to its spool, Dillon was struck by lightning. But instead of being killed, the freak accident caused a 'mutagenic change' in his nervous system, allowing him to 'control' vast amounts of electricity.

After creating a costume to conceal his identity, Dillon turned to a life of crime as 'Electro'.

Producer Laura Ziskin is aiming for a May 2011 release for "Spider-Man 4", nine years after the first film's spectacular debut...
