Bruce Campbell to Return in 'Spider-man 4'?

By: Eddie Jenkins

B-movie actor Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi work together well. Whether it is on the set of an Evil Dead film or Spider-man things just seem to click between the two of them. If Raimi has his way when the fourth installment in the web-slinger’s franchise starts production next year Campbell will return to match wits with Peter Parker.

“I would love to have Bruce in Spider-man 4,” Raimi told MTV News in an interview. ”I haven’t talked to him about it yet, but he’s such a source of humor for me. I love working with the guy. He’s a great and really dedicated actor, as much as we kid each other all the time. I haven’t spoken to him yet, but I hope that he would (be in the film).”

Campbell has made cameos in all three Spidey movies thus far. He has portrayed a wrestling announcer in Spider-man, a doorman that prevented Parker from seeing Mary Jane’s play in Spider-man 2 and a restaurant manager who assists Parker’s ill-fated marriage proposal to MJ in Spider-man 3.

Campbell has played both antagonist and matchmaker, so where can he go in the next installment?

“I don’t know what (his role) would be yet,” Raimi said.

I, like most people, am hoping that Campbell gets a bigger role in either Spider-man 4 or 5. And like most people I am hoping for him to play the dastardly devious special effects wizard Quentin Beck a.k.a. Mysterio.

Bruce Campbell's My Name Is Bruce Trailer!

by Alex Billington

This is a very long-time in the making - the last official trailer for Bruce Campbell's self-titled horror movie epic - My Name Is Bruce! The film is currently touring the US right now (see the schedule here) and will most likely be coming to your own local town soon, so don't miss it. If you need any incentive to go see it - this trailer is it! My Name Is Bruce stars Bruce Campbell as himself - a self-obsessed B-movie star who is coaxed by a group of fanboys to fight a real undead monster in a small rural town in Oregon. This looks absolutely ridiculously fun, much more so than Man with the Screaming Brain, and I can't wait to see it!

My Name Is Bruce is direct by "The Chin" himself, Bruce Campbell, who has directed a few odd indie films previously, most notably Man with the Screaming Brain. The script was written by "Smallville" and "Battlestar Galactica" writer Mark Verheiden. The film was produced by Dark Horse Entertainment and is theoretically being distributed by Lionsgate, although there is no actual release date. Instead, Bruce Campbell is touring around the US himself showing the film himself - see the full schedule here.
