Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, and James Franco are back, reuniting with director Sam Raimi and producers Laura Ziskin and Avi Arad. Filming begins in April, and the movie will be released in 2004.

Molina recently earned a SAG nomination for his portrayal of Mexican artist Diego Rivera in Julie Taymor\'s film Frida. Featured in Columbia Pictures\' upcoming psychological thriller Identity, Molina has appeared in more than 50 film and television productions, as well as enjoying an extensive theatrical career. Born in London, he studied at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. His stage work includes two major Royal National Theatre productions Speed The Plow and Night of the Iguana. He made his Broadway debut in 1998 in the Tony Award-winning play Art opposite Victor Garber and Alan Alda. In addition to a Best Actor Tony nomination, Molina received a Drama Desk Award for his performance. Other theatrical performances of note include a starring role in the off-Broadway production of Molly Sweeney, for which Molina garnered a Theatre World Award and a Drama Desk Award nomination for Outstanding Debut Performance.

Molina made his movie debut with Raiders of The Lost Ark and had a notable role as a Soviet sailor in Letter To Brezhnev. His breakthrough movie role came in 1987 when he played the role of Kenneth Halliwell, the tragic lover of Joe Orton in Stephen Frears\' Prick Up Your Ears. In 1998, Molina won accolades for his powerful performance in Paul Thomas Anderson\'s film Boogie Nights, which won the SAG Award for outstanding performance by a cast in a theatrical motion picture. He also appeared in Anderson\'s Magnolia. Other film credits include The Imposters, Anna Karenina, Species, The Perez Family, Maverick, Enchanted April, Not Without My Daughter, Dudley-Do-Right, Texas Rangers and Chocolat.

Spiderman was one of the best “Live Action Superhero” movies to date.

Batman was good, the X-Men was better but Spiderman was the best of all of them. Of course I am basing my judgements on super hero movies and that list does include The Punisher…YUCK!
