It seems that Bruce Campbell is just one of those people that everyone loves. He may not be the best actor in the world, but he so fully embraces his b-movie talents that you can’t help but like him. As a result there’s been a lot of speculation about some hints Campbell gave about what he’ll be doing in Spidey 4, while on the Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs premiere red carpet .
He’s had cameos in each of the first three movies, so it was a pretty safe bet for Access Hollywood to ask him what he’d be doing in the fourth Spider-man film, however he hinted he’d have a bigger roles than his brief appearances in the first movies, saying that he had a “major part” in the upcoming film, which is due to start shooting in January. They speculated he’d be playing one of the villains in the film, although at the moment there’s no evidence for that.
Elsewhere others have suggested that he could have been playing the same person in the first three films, and that this would lead to an expanded presence in the third movie, revealing that rather than just amusing characters, there’s been a reason why this person keeps popping up in Spider-man’s life.
The other possibility, which is actually fairly likely, is that he’s just being Bruce Campbell and knows that by hinting at a major part, he’ll start all sorts of speculation. However whether it’s a cameo or more, it’s a pretty safe bet we’ll be seeing something of Campbell in Spider-man 4.
