It's not quite the announcement fans were waiting for, but actor Michael Papajohn, who played the criminal with a fatal need for Uncle Ben's car in Spider-Man, announced at a Philadelphia comic book convention that he will be reprising his role in Spider-Man 4. Papajohn gave no other information, saying that he could not reveal what his role entailed or he would have to kill everyone in the audience.
Fans are still anxiously waiting to find out who the villains will be in Spider-Man 4, so Papajohn's news will have to suffice in the meantime. Director Sam Raimi has said that Sony will reveal the villains when they receive the script from screenwriter David Lindsay-Abaire at the end of the summer.
