Rumor upon rumor has been circulating the web about Spider-Man 4 lately, mainly about the film’s villains. Last week, two sources confirmed that the Black Cat is indeed in the script and rumors circulated that Rachel McAdams and Romola Garai were auditioning for the role.

McAdams has now stated to Entertainment Weekly that the rumors are simply untrue.

“That’s a total rumor, I have to say,” the actress, who will next be seen in the Dec. 25 action-adventure tentpole Sherlock Holmes, tells EW. “I was hanging out in Toronto the other day and someone came up to me and said, ‘I just heard you’re doing Spider-Man 4.‘ And I said, ‘Really? No one told me!’ It’s not true.” A rep for Sony Pictures concurs: “It’s an Internet rumor, as so many things are these days.”

Some around the web believe that they are lying, and they might be, but right now it is a bit too early to tell.

We will keep you posted with any updates on Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 4 villains and news as they become available.
