We’ve been hearing a lot of the same stuff from the "Spider-Man" principals about how they’d all been signed for three-picture deals, which is why you don’t hear much concrete buzz about a "Spider-Man 4," etc. etc. And now James Franco has chimed in…
From ComingSoon.net: "Goblins don’t have the best of luck in the Spider-Man comics and movies, so we were curious whether he knew anything about Harry Osborn (or anyone else) returning for a possible Spider-Man 4. "When we all signed on–Tobey, Kirsten, and I–we all signed on for three pictures, so when the first one did well, automatically we just did the second and the third. Now, we’ve done the third and the contracts are up. I guess it’s just a little bit more up in the air than the other ones have been. I know that everyone has a great time, and I know that Sony and Marvel could do 100 if they could."

So there you have it: Yet another clue that the original Spidey cast will go bye-bye after Part 3. Makes you kinda wonder where this series will be headed after that…
