In the “first post-’Spidey 3′ interview,” MTV talks to Sam Raimi about the possibilities of helming a fourth Spider-Man flick. “Sony Pictures is going to be making many more ‘Spider-Man’ pictures,” Raimi says in the interview. “I just don’t know what [my] future holds yet.”

But if he were to make a fourth Spider-man film, here’s what he would want:

…if this tangled web does still involve the filmmaker, Raimi has been busy brainstorming about the villains he’d like to get into the next flick. “I would love to see Electro, Vulture, maybe the Sinister Six as a team,” he said.

Those three possibilities wouldn’t necessarily cancel each other out. Since both were founding members of the Six, the Soviet supervillain and high-flying supergenius could appear in the next flick, be teamed with a returning Doctor Octopus and Sandman and form a supergroup to also introduce Mysterio and Kraven the Hunter.

Whether that story line works out or not, Raimi hopes to finally reward Dylan Baker’s patience with a villainous payoff similar to what Franco enjoyed in “3.” “I love Dylan Baker as a person, and I really like the character he is developing,” the filmmaker said of Dr. Curt Connors, Parker’s one-armed, screen-time-challenged professor in the first three flicks.

“The Lizard is probably one of my favorite characters,” he said of the baddie Connors eventually became in the comics. (He joined the Sinister Six when they became the Sinister Twelve, by the way.) “But ['Spider-Man 4'] will probably have to start with the central journey of the main character to arrive at the proper villain.”
