Spidey's Marvelous Deal
Maguire reportedly set to return as wall-crawler. by IGN Staff <http://movies.ign.com/email.html> http://cdn1.eyewonder.com/200125/754672/1010379/dot.gifSeptember 16, 2008 - Tobey Maguire is now reportedly set to <http://movies.ign.com/articles/908/908198p1.html> reprise his role as the title character in Spider-Man 4 and 5. The star is expected to film the back-to-back sequels over a six-month period next year. And according to <http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/film/arti cle4749016.ece> The Sunday Times, Maguire's deal also allows him to take early mornings and evenings off so that he can spend time with his toddler daughter. The paper, which claims Maguire will earn "a record $50 million" for the sequels, claims that "Sony, which declined to comment, is thought to have been wary of allowing 'family time' because it could set a precedent. Finally its chairman, Amy Pascal, herself a mother, stepped in, saying six months without family time would not be fair on any parent." The Times adds that it will be known "in the next few days" whether Kirsten Dunst will be back as Mary Jane Watson.
