Can you imagine Tobey Maguire and John Malkovich fighting it out high above New York City? Well, a report from Movieline says that Malkovich is in talks to star as the villain in Spider-Man 4. Joining him may be Anne Hathaway. Malkovich would play the Vulture. He's just your run of the mill old mad scientist, except he builds a flying, vulture-like suit. So then he can fly, use his sharp wings to attack, and one would assume this comes with some super strength as well.

As for Hathaway, Movieline says she would play Felicia Hardy. But that doesn't mean she would become Black Cat. There appears to be plays to turn Hardy into the Vulturess. Sounds like there could be some daddy issues with the Vulture.

Nothing is official at this point, but it makes NO sense to take the Felicia character and not transform her into Black Cat. She's one of the key comic book characters. What is not broken, should not be fixed.

What are your thoughts on Malkovich as the villain? Do you imagine he'll be better than Willem Dafoe?
