Spider Man 4 rumors

The rumor is that Spider Man 4 is on break because Rami and Marvel can not agree on the main villain. Sam wants the Vulture which does lend itself to his dark creepy directing style. Damage control claims that production is shut down because of Christmas. I wanted the Lizard because I mean isn't that what they have been setting up for 3 movies now? Come on! Sigh. I guess what it the problem is popularity. The Vulture NEVER had a strong following. Personally I like the Curt Conners(the Lizard) because Peter is friends so Spider Man always holds back for fear of really hurting the good guy within. Also again, it suits Sam's style. Running through the sewers and dark alleyways. After the Venom mess I am loosing hope. Why not leave it to the fans to vote on?
