Then again, it worked well for parts 1 and 2, so they might want to stick to the formula.

Whichever way they go, I really want to see Dr. Connors turn into the Lizard. You never see a character featured in a film series for three pictures and never utilized to their full potential. I hope we get that story. And having Black Cat in their sounds great too!

Tragic Villians only work for those that are actually tragic. So he could slide, as spidey 3 sent the formula eskew so to speak.

Think of it like this..
Formula
Formula Sequel
Break the mold absent mindedly
return to formula to save franchise.

The japanese do this often as well. Let's use Ultraman as an example, 20 years of the same, break the mold with nexus, follow up series is complete classic again. Then we have Kamen rider doing that too, 30 years of formula, break the mold with hibiki, follow up with utter classic influenced Kabuto. Sentai had done this as well with Gekiranger, but then returned to classic inspired Go-On as the follow up series. It's a formula thing, you try to break the formula for something new to see if the audiences want that, backlash ensues, you go back to formula to save the franchise and make money again with everyone happy. Repeat process later after 2 formula films, break the mold in a new way again, if it works, create new formula, if it doesn't return to old formula.
