Comic book fans, you’re going to want to clear these dates on your calendar

Variety reports that the fourth SPIDER-MAN movie, imaginatively titled “SPIDER-MAN 4,” will arrive in theaters on May 6, 2011. Director Sam Raimi is returning once again, along with stars Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst.
And that’s not all: Two other Marvel Comics movies will be arriving around the same time. THE FIRST AVENGER: CAPTAIN AMERICA (which was originally slated for May 6) will be moved to July 22, 2011, and THOR will hit theaters on May 20, 2011. The rumor mill says both CAPTAIN AMERICA and THOR will be heavily connected to the IRON MAN films (they’re all members of The Avengers, see), but there’s no word on whether SPIDER-MAN 4 will be connected as well.

Spider-Man will not be connected to the Avengers films or the other solo flicks. For the mere reason that Marvel holds the film rights to the Avengers/Iron Man stuff (distributed by Paramount for the announced titles, then with Disney once those are done), while the Spider-Man films are made and owned by Sony/Columbia.

You’re right, Brian — unless Disney decides to cut some big money detail to bring it all together.
