Spider scoop confirmed

Thanks to our friends in the southern hemisphere, we've been given confirmation regarding yesterday's SPIDER-MAN 2 scoop. The Melbourne Telegraph did indeed publish three new photos from SPIDER-MAN 2 as well as report that the stars have signed for three SPIDER-MAN movies and that the Man-Wolf makes an appearance in the film.

If the Man-Wolf character really shows up in SM2 the Telegraph will have been the first publication to break the news. While it's already been established that the human character of John Jameson (son of Daily Bugle publisher J. Jonah Jameson) is in the flick, nothing so far has indicated that the comic book fate for the young hunky astronaut would be given screen time in the upcoming sequel. We're still skeptical about Man-Wolf being squeezed in the story somehow; according to the latest intelligence, not even a cameo by The Lizard will be seen in SPIDER-MAN 2 -- and that's even with the human side of the character being played by Dylan Baker. Everything we've heard leads us to believe that it's just Doc Ock as the only Spider-Man villain given any screen time. As the days go by and the release date for the film starts to draw closer, if the Man-Wolf report is indeed true more confirmation should come to pass.

[About two dozen Aussies took time out from their summer to tell us the news and we thank every one of them.]
