It's being reported over at SuperheroHype.com that a face from the original Spider-Man movie may well be making a reappearance in the upcoming fourth instalment of the franchise.

The story is that Michael Papajohn - who played the man who killed Uncle Ben - is down to reprise his role in the fourth movie. The actor, who was talking at Wizard World in Philadelphia, had previously been in the first and third films (and the killing of Uncle Ben was, of course, re-examined in Spider-Man 3).

To quote the story at SuperheroHype, Papajohn "then proceeded to say if he told us what his role entailed, he'd have to kill us".
