I can’t help but think that Mr Raimi is sitting there laughing right now, as he sips a beer or a nice glass of wine (as I am, Casillero del Diablo Carménère 2003), I can’t help thinking that he’s surfing the web and laughing. Why? Well we’re all mad on these supposed spoilers and plot revelations, yet I think he might be engineering them.
Cinema Blend has news that Theresa Russell is in the cast as the character Felicia Hardy. You a Spidey comic fan? That mean anything to you? Let me elucidate…(See, that wine is good…I don’t think I’ve ever written that word before!)
According to Comic Book Resources, Russell’s character will carry the name Felicia Hardy, and all the weight that goes with that. To those who know Spidey lore, Hardy fell in love with Spider-Man and made an agreement with the Kingpin that gave her super powers (under the name Black Cat) so she could hold her own with Spider-Man. The two were romantically involved until Peter Parker chose to leave the Black Cat for Mary Jane Watson.
So are we going to see Black Cat onscreen? Mmmm…perhaps Raimi is just pitching in named characters here and there to set up future stories and lend credence to the whole Spidey universe without actually using them. Personally I think that’s really plausible, considering the latest Harry rumour\spoiler too. Before I go into that one let me also suggest that I don’t think Raimi is stupid enough to follow the Batman track of piling in relevant characters galore.
Now, the latest possible spoiler for Harry…
IESB have a reportedly real live accurate quote from a crew member revealing what Harry will do in the next movie…Beware, potential spoilers, so turn away now if you don’t want to know.
(CAUTION Spoilers ahead)
Rob, all the assumptions that Harry Osborn is the third villain the Hobgoblin are all wrong. Spiderman finds himself out numbered in this one. When everything seems to be at its worst for our hero, he finds himself an unlikely ally, Harry Osborn. Peter Parker’s best friend will come to his aide.
Okay so let’s look at this. Harry will come to Spidey’s rescue? Did he finally realize his father was a kook? Apparently so. Here’s more…
We will see Harry battling his inner demons to make the choice between his father’s legacy and his best friend. I will fill you in more later but gotta go, crew call in 10 minutes, Sam doesn’t like it when anyones late! Holla, Peace
Mmmm…sounds possible, but really I’ve heard so much about this movie Chicken Little could be appearing in it. I don’t know, there are reports around that Franco has also been in makeup galore, so is he or isn’t he?
