'SpiderMan 3' Release

By Chris Carez
Ever since the final scenes of Spider-Man 2 fans have been wondering as to whom the villain would be in the next film. So far, there is not much information about the movie as it is still a year away. The only official announcement of who any of the villains are (yes there will be more than one this time) is that Thomas Hayden Church is playing Sandman. The ending of Spider-Man 2 gave the impression that Harry Osborn, played by James Franco, will be taking his father’s place as the Green Goblin. It is likely that Harry will follow in his father’s footsteps and become the Green Goblin. The rumors have not ended there.

During an interview promoting Elizabethtown, actress Kirsten Dunst was asked about Spider-Man 3. She slipped and revealed another possible villain. She claimed that Topher Grace, who joined the cast earlier last year, would be playing Eddie Brock/Venom. Fans have since discussed this topic on all sorts of message boards all over the internet. It would be nice to see Venom on the big screen, but many feel it is too early to introduce the popular villain. Many more complain that Grace just does not have the build to play Brock. Fans that are more particular do not think it is possible to introduce Venom in one movie. The topic is heatedly discussed and arguments frequently break out. Newer rumors have claimed Grace is playing a different character, though it is still just a rumor. These rumors will continue until Sony decides to make an official announcement. If Grace is in fact playing Brock/Venom, then hopefully it will be done properly and do this great villain justice. Spider-Man 3 is scheduled to be released on May 4, 2007.
