Spiderman 3 is out today, but who's on for Spidey 4?

Unfortunately, I was getting off of an airplane from Pittsburgh last night, so I couldn't stand in line for Spidey 3. So disappointed. But I'm going to try and see it this weekend, from the previews it looks awesome!

So, of course, Bodog has a couple of odds on the possible next installment of the comic book series.

One asks whether Tobey Maguire will sign on to star in Spiderman 4, which he's still on the fence about. I mean, after 3 movies, someone who's done some serious acting roles would probably get a little tired of the comic book stuff. The odds are tight, with Yes at -110 and No at -130

The other one is about who may be the next director, if Sam Raimi doesn't sign on to direct Spiderman 4. Check out Bodog for the complete list, but here are a few of my faves I would like to see direct it:

Tim Burton (6/1): Dude, Batman and Spidey should totally get together for some DC/Marvel crossover action! (And I just outed myself as a nerd. Great.)
Bryan Singer (8/1): He pulled off X-Men, and could probably pull off Spiderman 4 with not much of a problem, though there'd probably be a shirt in the style of the movie.
James Cameron (9/1): Seriously? Like, the last good movie he did was "The Abyss" back in 1989. He'd write the script and it would suck. A lot.
Peter Jackson (9/1): Actually, he'd do really well. I mean, the guy who played Gollum would have to be the bad guy, whoever they picked. And the CGI would be top notch.
Steven Spielberg (11/1): Anyone see "War of the Worlds"? Hated it!
Quentin Tarantino (15/1): Now this would be awesome. Limbs would be cut off, bloody shootings all over the place, and lots of cursing. Just the way mom used to make it.
