They are saying he said he was confirmed for the role and he's now just waiting for a new script supposedly lol.

I'm assuming there are typos galore in here lol. I think they meant "didn't deny"

I use a site to do my translations for me, since I don't know italian lol. Here's what that topic on BadTaste said:
"In the past days it is itself very talked about the problems between the producer and the Sony for how much pertains the script of the film, that will undergo some actual delays in wait that Alvin Sargent a new version extend of it.
Between the not to be ignored demands of Raimi us says pits also the presence of Malkovich in the role of the villain Vulture, and the words of the actor seem to confirm that at least on this point the producer should have the trim (seemed that the Sony preferred Black Cat). Here thing writes us alexspooky:
I wanted segnalarvi that little minutes does have arrived to cross on italian broadcasting corporation 2 the program "those that the soccer" where, in connection from Florence, there was the actor John Malkovich. Not these not, to precise question of the conduttrice I pertain its future role of Vulture in Spider-Man 4, did only deny, but absolutely confirmed to be in wait of to receive the definitive script, and that the film and' been (like sappiamo) delayed and of, textual words, "hope to begin the more 'soon the renewals. ".
As soon as it will be available a filmed ve we will signal it."

Malkovich is a great actor, I'm interested to see him take on this role.

Yeah, he's waiting for a script, which is MW said. The only part they got wrong was that he's confirmed for the role, but one could take that as confirming that he was asked to be in the role...because before it was just a rumor. Now he's saying that he's been asked, and is waiting for the script. In all likely hood, he'll take the role.

Chad it has NOT been confirmed. He hasn't confirmed sh*t, and we are looking above. If the translation tells something different, then please, by all means, let us know. But the above quote doesn't confirm much of anything. Basically he is waiting for a SCRIPT, and the rest is common knowledge. The movie was supposed to start shooting soon, although it's been delayed, and he's been rumored to play Vulture, which he neither confirmed or denied. Let me say that again: he didn't confirm it. So for now, all we can take away from this is that he has his hopes up, and it is STILL just a rumor. He didn't confirm anything that we didn't already know about the film and nothing has been announced in his favor.

I do like John, it's...well... he no longer cares about the acting bit anymore. Plus, Vulture is an old man that has wings. Ben Kingsly would be much better choice than John.

And what are you guys talking about, I checked the source and translated it, it's exactly what MW put on here in english basically. It says he confirmed it, and waiting on a script. Where are you guys looking that says otherwise?

Hmm did Sam get his Vulture finally? If John really is The Vulture, I won't bitch about it since he's one of my favorite actors, and has a uniqueness that he brings to a film. He makes a good villian or hero as we have seen in his previous work.

John Malkovich is great, just hope they won't put 3 villains this time, they should focus on one.

MW needs an editor about as bad as they need legitimate sources.

Seems like MovieWeb needs a proof reader. Cos have seen some 'red underlines' here. An actual examples' above. Anyways, flying enemy is cool (cos Sam Raimi that I've noticed likes desert stuffs, e.g. sandman, vulture...) only what if Spiderman4 wrapped a wing and then Vulture will be like a prey for real, that's fast!

In the latest comics Vulture doesn't even wear Green; he has a badass black suit.

The Narrator: The Better Man
Like I said it can work if they gave him a mutating power and he was similar to Angel in X-men. Otherwise it will look cheesy as f*ck. At least he has the power to bring some justice to the performance.

Exactly, yeah sorry, I just glanced at it real quick in dismay. MovieWeb should not be quoting and translating foreign websites as "Movie News" and coming up with misleading titles with any form of the word "confirmation" in them.

The guy doesn't even know himself. I hate how MovieWeb is quick to post ALL RUMORS regarding this damn movie. Just give us something tangible when it becomes official. These redundant rumors are misleading.

if Malkovich acts wacky and slick enough he might be able to pull it off
and I hope they can develop his backstory cleverly

I like the idea, from the little I know of Vulture, Malkovich would do good. However, I was kinda hoping for some cooler villains. lol.
