Premiere Of Senator Entertainments The Informers - ArrivalsMichael Papajohn, the former minor league baseball player turned actor who plays the blonde-headed sleazeball crook that offs Uncle Ben in “Spider-Man,” may be back for the upcoming “Spider-Man 4,” reports Super Hero Hype.

The following is an excerpt of SHH’s encounter and attempt to follow up with the actor about his possible role in the film:

“I [Wolf] was over at the weekly comic book show Frank & Son over in Industry, CA, and while I was walking around with my uncle we suddenly ran into Michael Papajohn. I wouldn’t have noticed him except for the pictures he had all over his signing desk. He’s a real funny guy – trying to sell us autographs and telling us about how the Lakers beat him out of the main table. Anyways, I asked him about Spider Man 4 because of the rumor I read that he was going to be in it. He said ‘I can’t talk about it, but who says I died in the first one?’ My uncle asked him again and he quipped ‘if I tell you I’ll have to shoot you.’ Jokingly, of course. That’s all I got.”
