Rachel McAdams is not doing Spider-Man 4

Today we will deal with one of the recent casting rumors floating around. Understandably, this one got a lot of air under its wings because of the massive fan base. I’m talking about the fourth installment of Spider-Man. Sam Raimi has managed to make the cinematic version almost as big as the original comic version. And that ain’t no small achievement. Many have tried and failed before. We have come to love the characters, and the romance between Spidey (Tobey Maguire) and Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst) makes you warm and fuzzy inside. Well sort of…

Anyway, Last week’s online talk of Rachel McAdams auditioning for the role of The Black Cat in the fourth “Spider-Man” drew a lot of chatter. Now Dark Horizons reports that McAdams comment to this was “That’s a total rumor, I have to say. I was hanging out in Toronto the other day and someone came up to me and said, ‘I just heard you’re doing Spider-Man 4.‘ And I said, ‘Really? No one told me!’ It’s not true.”

And to add to that a Sony Pictures spokesperson said “It’s an Internet rumor, as so many things are these days“, effectively killing the story right there. Is that the end though? For now the McAdams talk is over, the actress and a spokesman have officially denied it and unless there’s actual hard proof of her involvement then there’s no story.

So there you have it. The McAdams-as-The Black-Cat-rumor is squashed.
