According to Perez Hilton, John Malkovich has been tapped for the role as a villain in the upcoming “Spiderman 4″ movie. The only problem is, “Spiderman 4″ isn’t being made.

It was announced at 2:13 PM today by Nikki Finke that the studio is scrapping plans for the release of the movie, at all. Hilton, not being known for his steadfast reporting, told us this at 5:22 PM:

Spiderman 4 will feature the villainous Vulture to be played by the one and only, John Malkovich. The character is elderly, winged and evil. A perfect fit for the veteran actor!
