While he has been mentioning that he will probably leave after Spider-Man 3, director Sam Raimi is now talking about sticking around for six Spider-man films in all.
“I’ve heard Amy Pascal [chairman of Sony’s motion picture group] say she wants to make six Spider-Man pictures,” Raimi said in an interview at the Saturn Awards in Los Angeles. “So I think she’s a woman of her word. And if she says there’ll be six, there’ll be six. … If they were to ask me, and if I felt as passionate as I feel now about the character and had this great hunger and desire to tell the story, which I really do now, you couldn’t keep me away from it.”, he told SCI FI Wire.

Actor Ron Perlman has shed some light on Hellboy 2.
“The Hellboy 2 script was turned in this month, but they do everything in their power to keep me as much in the dark as possible,” Perlman says. He added that he’ll need to get back into his Hellboy shape. “I’m going to definitely take off all the weight I’ve put on in between,” he said. “I went back to being a character actor. I’ll be thinner.” As for the next film’s plot, Perlman said: “I know that they were looking to get more into the folklore of the character, you know, and less into the pyrotechnics. … I guess I’ll read it when I’m invited to. … I couldn’t even dream beyond what already has been a reality. I mean, you know, everything that’s transpired with regard to the depiction, Guillermo’s distillation of turning a two-dimensional guy into a three-dimensional guy was far beyond anything I could have dreamed possible. So I’ll just defer to him. Happily.”

Orlando Bloom has spoken a bit about the plots of the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean sequels.
“…obviously at the end of the first movie you see him in the clutches of Elizabeth. But the course of true love never runs smooth, … does it? So a few things come up, and he goes off on another journey to save Elizabeth and the lives of everybody else.” He adds, “But I think he’s going to assume more of the pirate’s role, and by the end of the third movie there’s a few dark twists to the character of Will Turner, and I think people are going to wonder what his motives are and what he’s all about.”
