Though Gary Ross is already knee-deep in writing "Spider-Man 4", he is also in negotiations to both write and direct a spin-off movie about one of the web-slinger's most infamous foes, "Venom".
Following the story line from several Marvel Comics mini-series runs from the 1990s, "Venom" will be featured as an anti-hero who will stand as a protector of the innocent.
Topher Grace, who played Peter Parker's rival Eddie Brock in "Spider-Man 3" in which "Venom" had a rather brief appearance, is already signed to star in Robert Rodriguez's "Predators", so many are speculating that he will not be reprising the role.
Though Disney now owns Marvel Entertainment, Columbia Pictures owns the movie rights to "Spider-Man" and "Ghost Rider", including all the characters associated with both comic book series. Likewise, 20th Century Fox owns the rights to all the "X-Men" heroes and villains, plus everything "Daredevil" and "Fantastic Four" related.
While Sam Ramai is set to start shooting "Spider-Man 4" in 2010, writer Jamie Vanderbilt is already busy developing the stories for "Spider-Man 5" and "Spider-Man 6".
