I think the suitable response would be WTF?! Despite the fact that Spider-Man 4 has yet to shoot, despite the fact that Sony only have a commitment out of Sam Raimi, Tobey Maguire & co. for number 4, it seems they’re forging ahead with Spider-Man 5 AND 6!

Given the sorry state that Spider-Man 3 has left the franchise in, I thought it was ambitious to go for a fourth installment, but a fifth? A SIXTH? According to Variety:

As Sony Pictures Entertainment preps a fourth installment of “Spider-Man” to begin production early next year, the studio has quietly engaged screenwriter James Vanderbilt to pen “Spider-Man 5″ and “Spider-Man 6.”

Vanderbilt was the first writer on “Spider-Man 4.” Director Sam Raimi brought on “Rabbit Hole” playwright David Lindsay-Abaire to rewrite him, and Gary Ross is now rewriting that script. The studio is enthusiastic about where it stands as the picture begins prepping for an early 2010 production start for a May 2011 release.
