Spider-Man has been left hanging - the fourth film in the hit franchise has been stalled over a reported script issue.
An unnamed Sony studios source has confirmed production on Spider-Man 4, which was set to start next month (Feb10), has been put back.
Movie executives are refusing to alter the May, 2011 release date - but experts insist that will change.
A source tells Daily Variety, "I think making May is a real question. We will not start until we have it right. The feeling is we are not going to rush it to make the date."
Ironically, production on the Spider-Man musical was also stalled late last year (09) over alleged production and staging issues.
