    I'm not saying that he "will" be in the next Spider-Man movie, I'm just wondering if the clone saga would be an awesome plot for the next installment, just to make-up for the very badly-made Spider-Man 3..

    Nah the clone saga would be too long and the stories too complicated for a 1 2-3 hour movie.

    Well, I just thought that since they're making marvel movies that has a mix of the mainstream universe and the ultimate universe, they could make a very good movie, If they could properly execute it, like the script, the plot, the directing, the acting, etc..

    And they could just get rid of the Gwen Stacy clone, I mean, she is still alive in the movie..

    It would be a good way to write out Tobey Maguire if he's sick of playing Spidey.

    i think he was sick of it after the first movie if you remember after the first movie he complained alot about back problems and they were even talking about bring in another actor to replace him but i'm guessing  he saw the paycheck and decided to do the other 2 movies and after the crictical flop of the third movie i'm guessing it will be very hard for them to get any of the actors to return considering most were only signed to a 3 picture deal

    Spidey 3 didn't flop, its just us fans like to complain about every single little wrong detail. It's made 800 mil worldwide... which is 3rd all time in comic book movies... but behind Spidey 1 and 2.

    Money's money though, I wouldn't turn down a role like Spidey even if they decided to make a movie about OMD... well maybe.. but I did read an interview by him that he said he didn't want to be known for just one role (spidey), but with how much Spidey 1 made he had to return.

    x2...

    I never really thought Tobey Maquire was a good Spidey anyway... he's got huge doughy eyes that just don't "fit".

    I wish they would have Spidey crack more jokes on the villains in the movies... and not cry so much.

    as for the topic, nahhh. I just don't see a clone saga working on the big screen.
