Has Malkovich Pseudo-Confirmed Vulture/SPIDER-M4N??

Merrick here...
BadTaste is talking about a recent interview with John Malkovich in Italy (HERE). In said interview, Malkovich didn't deny his association with SPIDER-MAN 4 - and said he was currently waiting to receive the script. THIS article at ComingSoon provides a more exact translation of the conversation:

"When conductor Simona Ventura asked him about his role of Vulture in the movie, he not only didn't deny his involvement, but confirmed that he's waiting for the final script to be sent to him, and that the movie has been delayed. He also hopes that shooting will begin as soon as possible."

Presuming all of these interpretations are accurate, this information would seem to verify Movieline's early December revelation of Malkovich's (HERE) involvement with the project - which, unless I've missed something, hasn't been officially acknowledged to date.
