I like Spider-Man but I haven't read him for awhile so I really wouldn't know who the big villian is  in his book.

They'll probably include 2 villains again like they did with Spiderman 3, well, that had 3 but you get the point.
 
So I think they should scrap the Vulture idea (: I never liked him anyway.
and bring in Felicia (Black Cat)  and maybe, Hobgoblin? or Mysterio?

stoopid company. their paying Sam for his genius, then telling him  he cant use it. 
not the biggest fan of  Raimi,  but one thing i noticed about the big name directors is that (usually) we get the best out of them when there aren't a bunch of suits trying to dictate their choices. 
but on the plus side, i hate Tobey's Spiderman, so im not completely bummed about this.

Said before (a few times most likely) and I'll jolly well say it again... most of spidey's villains are lame. I'm sure Mysterio and Shocker and Electro and Rhino have their fans (can't think of any others to be honest) but few would translate that well onto the big screen in my "sat at the computer screen pretending to work" opinion. 
However, they did make Doc Ock pretty damn cool; a good mix of power, menace and pathos. Venom was the exact opposite; good comic character, awful film villain. And as for Sandman...  
Meh. The whole dancing emo peter parker in spiderman 3 pretty much killed the franchise for me. Of course, there was also Mary Jane whining, the incredibly lame bit where the butler confesses that he knew the wounds of Norman Osborne were self inflicted, the overdone soap-opera acting of the end sequence where all of New York watches whiny Jane stuck in a car, then Spidey leaps in with the american flag fluttering behind him (not dissing on patriotism considering that in Britain really has very little to be proud of nowadays) 
I'm sure spiderman has some great film mileage if the writers and everyone else involved delves deep and tries their damndest to make something special. But every time I read about spiderman 4 news I just roll my eyes and go "bugger, not again"

Well they can't do a good job with main villains like Venom so I don't see why it would make a difference which one they used in 4. On the other hand The Vulture would be awful.
 
I say they spend the first twenty minutes with no story, just Spiderman stopping Rhino as as runs away through the city, sending cars flying as he goes. Spiderman outsmarts him, cut to intro. Then the rest of the film should focus on Spidey trying to help cure the Dr Curt Connors from turning into Lizard.

RHINO AND LIZARD!!!!

If they wanted to bank on an important Spider-man villain from the comics, then they shouldn't have just killed off Norman Osborn in the first movie. Likewise with Venom....

Not really a big Spider-Man reader, haven't picked up the book in a loooong time and never bought the title regularly.  I have enjoyed the movies though.  Thought they were all very well done.  I'd have a tough time second-guessing Sam Raimi, but it seems to me the the Kraven, The Hunter storyline from several years ago is very strong and would be well suited to a film.

look the Vulture is a good charater but to Redemption for spider man 3 it's not a good call, mean who see spider man get his ass kick by 70 year old man and his hot daughter ............okay I would, but just for the hot daughter. 

Spidey 4:  Lizard is born. Battle ensues. Property damage and lives in danger. JJJ hires Mac Gargan to expose/humiliate Spidey and take down Lizard. Gargan, as Scorpion, becomes the new threat, allowing Lizard to go about his business. Spidey beats Scorpion and gives Connors an ultimatum. Connors approaches a humiliated Gargan with a little gift -- the leftover symbiote he had in Spider-Man 3.
 
Spidey 5: The new Venom and Lizard prove a match for Spidey at every turn. By way of the symbiote, the tagteam know Peter's identity and they prey on it. Spidey finds the best way to beat them is to temporarily offer himself to the symbiote to strip Gargan of his power and give him enough strength to outmatch them. Spidey wins and ditches the symbiote.
 
BUT OH, NO! The symbiote finds its way into Aunt May's bloodstream, creating CARNAGE!
 
Heh. Thanks for reading. Joke's on you.

They should let the director make these decisions otherwise he won't really be trying to make his best work. If Raimi thinks he could make Vulture interesting they should let him. If they want another villain they can go with another director. I mean who would have thought Scarecrow would be interesting in Batman Begins?

I think it depends on who they do Vulture. I think that the Vulture from the Spider-Man: Web of Shadows game would translate well into movie form.

" BEST - NEWS - EVER.  Don't freaking make this movie! Just reboot it so we can have Spider-man fighting alongside the Avengers, or at least making a cameo! Or maybe he can run into Hulk like he did in the comics?   "

Spider-Man 1 and 2 were decent. If Sony would just keep out of it and let Raimi do his thing, this one shouldn't be the mistake of Spider-Man 3. "

thing is. Spider-man is one of the top 3 comic characters (Along with Superman and Batman) and marvel's top boy. People don't go to see Scorpion, Elektro, the Lizard, Mysterio, Vulture, etc. They go to see Spider-man. Any villain would do, I for one hate most of Spider-man's villains (and the hero himself too) and still loved what they did to Octopus, who says that Raimi can;t do the same to the vulture?

OH MY GOD SONY! LET RAIMI DO HIS THING! HE KNOWS THE CHARACTER!
 
HE WANTS LIZARD!
 
WE WANT LIZARD!
 
JUST BUTT OUT!

He´s lame.

I think Sony was going to give him full reign till the boards lit up after the Vulturess leak. I think Sony is trying to save there ass. I think if they do Felicia she needs to be Black Cat and be  a contrast to Mary Jane. The Vulture would be good with Electro. I don't think the Vulture needs to be the main villain. Sam threw a fit last time when Sony wanted to bring Venom in with the horrible SM3. Just fire Sam and bring in a new one if he threatens to do it again.

GREAT, same thing happened to spider-man 3. Sam Raimi did not want venom in his movie and the studio MADE him put him in, and the result? Well spider-man 3 was the result. I thought the whole thing to Sam Raimi coming back was because they told him that they wont interfere with it and give him full creative control so spider man 3 doesnt happen again. Damn Sony they are starting to sound like FOX. I really hope marvel gets there properties back from FOX and Sony some day but I doubt it will happen.

" @Kid_Zombie:  Even if the Vulturess makes an appearance? That would make SM3 look good. "

I'm okay with anyone... 
But Moribus!
I belive that Lizard is a logical choice due to being a cameo in 2 and 3. Vulture is also intitleed  because he was the original choice as the side villain instead of Venom (and seeing how they did Venom and choosing a terrible actor (Topher "girly" Grace), they should have put Vulture in it). Mysterio would be awesome played by Bruce Campbell. Make Electro and Shocker stronger, and it would be interesting. Kraven is a really good choice if you put in Lizard, Plus, they could put in Chameleon  as Kraven's half-brother sidekick. Black cat has to be put as a good guy, and Kingpin belongs to Fox. 

Please, just let this madness end. The movies are going down the toilet. If they do the 'Vultress' crap. I can tell you that I wont see this movie.

I would like to see the Vulture or the Lizard as the main villain.

Yeah the spiderman web of shadows vulture was prty cool

Ha ha ha hae hae aha  hae HATERRRSSS... 
 
The Movie will be Awesome its SPider-Man... Common SON

     like the robotic one would be cool just not some little guy in it

Spider-Man 1 and 2 were awesome movies and Raimi is a badass director. SM3 wasn't great but it wasn't the goddamn antichrist of movies like people are making it out to be. I personally want to see a SM4.....even with all these Vulturess rumours. I really don't think (and hope) that's not going to happen.
