There’s been a lot of speculation over what director will take over Sony’s Spiderman reboot now that the studio has severed ties with Sam Raimi. While Marc Webb (500 Days of Summer) is rumored to be topping the list, other names in the supposed mix include Wes Anderson (Fantastic Mr. Fox), David Fincher (Se7en), Nimrod Antal (Predators), and self-proclaimed King-of-the-World James Cameron (Avatar).

Cameron, however, is the first to go on record as not being interested in the Spidey franchise. He tells MTV:

It’s a little bit sloppy seconds, let’s face it. I haven’t gotten a phone call. I don’t expect to — certainly [not] after this interview. But if you’re thinking about it, it’s sloppy seconds. I’m not interested.

Cameron’s Avatar won a Golden Globe award last night for Best Motion Picture – Drama. The 55-year-old Oscar-winner also took home a Globe for Best Director.

In related news, Sam Raimi may be moving on to helm the World of Warcraft film. I’ll keep you posted.
