Don't know if its true or not, but I've heard it from several places.
As for Spider-Man III, I'm afraid that its going to end up like Superman III and Batman Forever: it will do well at the boxoffice, but it won't be that good of a film, and won't be remembered well. Personally, I've gotten tired of the Spider-Man movie series, and the endless Peter Parker's life sucks, and giving Harry Osborne more and more reasons to hate Spider-Man with no resolution in sight. Also, it seems like, especially in Spider-man 2, that the villians are minor characters to the drama, and very little action, which every comic book movie needs. I think that they wasted Doctor Octopus, and its too bad, because he was a great villian, and Alfred Molina did a great job in it.

I thought Superman III was a box office failure opposite Return of the Jedi.
If the movies have Spider-Man ending up with Gwen Stacy - a character who DIED in the friggin' comics - that would really suck.
