Who loves chowing down on lots of crunchy nuts? Tobey Maguire does - in preparation for films anyway. Despite illness, the actor appeared at WonderCon on Saturday in his only convention appearance to promote "Spider-Man 2" and gave an extended Q&A with the audience and Comics Continuum has the transcript. He went into details about his training regime, answered standard fan questions, and revealed a few interesting things:

Question: And talk between you and Sam about part three?

Maguire: Yeah. I think we're doing it. I've actually seen a graph of the timeline of when we're supposedly have to have everything -- the script being written at this time, pre-production, production and release date. They already have it all planned out. And Sam has given me a version of what he is thinking for the third movie. And I can tell you guys the whole storyline now. (laughs). Who's the villain? I won't say anything. When I read the comics books, Doc Ock was always my favorite villain for the movies. I also like Sandman. I'd think he'd be a really cool villain.

Question: Can you clear up the rumors about you doing the second film?

Maguire: Basically, coming out of Seabiscuit, and not because of Seabiscuit, I've been experience some discomfort in my back. And this is something that's been on and off for a few years. And I saw the storyboards and animatics of the stunts I was going to have to do for Spider-Man 2. And I was a little concerned because it was much more complicated and difficult-looking than the first movie. So I just brought it to their attention, "Hey, I have a little back discomfort and I'm a little nervous about it. I'm not sure about it."

And they, of course, did not want to hurt me and also wanted to make their movie. So I went down and worked with the stunt guys and got on the wires and did some of the stunts, just to feel it out and see how I felt. It was fine. I did two or three days of that down at the soundstages, and after that, it was all good. Something happened. Somebody got some kind of weird story and the media just started going crazy with it. It was unbelievable. But it was always all good. I guess there was a chance that if I couldn't do the stunts on those test days or if I didn't feel comfortable with it, I don't know what we would have done from that point. Luckily, we never had to get there.

Fox's presentation at the con revealed that "Fantastic Four" will begin production the first week of August, most likely in Vancouver with casting to be announced this month. Meanwhile "Elektra" is being targeted for a Feb. 18th 2005 release.
