So, it appears that the rumors are true. My roomate tells me that imdb 'www.imdb.com has updated the list of actors for the upcoming Spiderman III.
First off, I have to complain that introducing the Sandman as a villian is a little weak. I was never a fan of the Sandman, and wondering why the Spiderman franchise would include him. I was hoping for the Dr. Connor/Lizard story arc, but begars can't be choosers I suppose.
The shocking thing that imdb had released was the name of the actor that is playing Venom. Did you read that? Venom. Now, last year I speculated that Venom would be introduced into the next movie to start the Venom saga and the story of the black suit. Now, it seems that there will be a Venom. But, with the good comes the bad...
Venom is being played by Topher Grace. (That 70's Show)
Mmm, no. I can't really see that. I would assume that Grace would be playing Eddie Brock, the man that becomes consumed with killing the spiderman and bonding with the venom suit. Introducing it was a question last year, but I believe that it would be the same way that Ultimate Spiderman introduced Brock...as a family friend.
Either way, it seems that the best villian of the bunch will be making his screen debute. While it is true that the movie won't be released until 2007, that won't stop me from trying to dig up all I can on this movie....Sandman aside.
