Or maybe I should call this, Major, Major Explode in Your Pants Geek Alert, because according to the blog film ick, geek fanboy favorite Bruce Campbell (the “Evil Dead” films, among many) will be playing a fourth villain in the “Spiderman 3″ movie. Campbell, as geeks around the world know, is best buds with “Spidey” director Sam Raimi, and like Raimi’s “Classic”, Campbell has found himself in cameo roles in most of Raimi’s movies, including the two previous Spidey flicks.
Here’s what film ick said:
Peter Parker finds out about a Spider-Man movie being made and goes to the set to check it out. Avi Arad and Sam Raimi have cameos as the producer and director. Quentin Beck (Campbell, aka “Mysterio”) is the movie’s special FX guy. The fact that Peter and MJ are both in the public eye – though one can never reveal that he is – is milked for a little bit of fun too.
So there you have it. True? Not true? I’m sure Raimi will find some way to put Campbell in the movie, as he is the director and the film’s unquestionable master, so he can basically do whatever he wants.
Here’s what the villain Mysterio would look like in costume from the comic books. Hopefully Campbell won’t have to look as dorky. Then again, he pulls off dorky pretty well…
