Flixens: Movies, DVDs, TV, comic books and pop culture for women. The boys shouldn't have all the fun.

This rumor has been floating around forever, but it looks like it may now be true?

Word on the street is that Bruce Campbell, who's had cameos in each of the previous Spider-Man films, will play Mysterio in Spider-Man 3, according to Film Ick.

Keep in mind, this is all still rumor, but it's worth reporting.  My guess is that director Sam Raimi decided to throw the fans a bone and make their conjecture become a reality.  Fans were saying how it makes perfect sense for Mysterio, a.k.a. FX master Quentin Beck, to start out in the business as some sleazy ring announcer, then move on to theater usher, and then finally to FX prop guru.

I guess we'll have to wait and see...
