JK Simmons will be back for Spider-Man 4...and possibly Tobey Maguire

[Brian Damage]

Speaking to “Spider-Man” cast member J.K Simmons (who plays the boisterous newspaper CEO J. Jonah Jameson in the films) on the set of his new film "I Love You, Man" IESB learnt that Tobey Maguire may indeed still return – he was only ever signed for the three films - as the boy in the red spandex after all.

“I spoke to Tobey in, I guess it was February…sort of awards season time and, y’know, he’s certainly amenable to doing some more and hopefully we’ll be able to get everybody back and make another good one”, Simmons tells.

It’s not certain with Sam Raimi would return to direct the next “Spider-Man” film. If he doesn’t, would Simmons still be interested?

‘’Well, I can only speak for myself, but, if Sam were not the director but was, still had a hand in it then I would certainly have a reasonable amount of faith in it. You know? Obviously if he’s the director I’m there a 100%. If he’s not involved at all, which I think is VERY unlikely, then it would be a situation that I would have to think about. But if he’s involved, hopefully directing or at least as a producer then I’m pretty confident that it would be something that I want to do. Plus they pay money. ‘’
