Spider-Man 3 - UK-Exclusive DVD on Page 37
 
Quote:
Thomas Haden Church, who was most recently nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in "Sideways," has been cast as Spider-Man's new archenemy in the next chapter of the "Spider-Man" adventure, it was announced by director Sam Raimi and producers Laura Ziskin and Marvel Studios' Avi Arad.

Spider-Man 3, which is scheduled for release on May 4, 2007, will reunite the successful team that was responsible for the first two blockbuster films. The franchise has grossed more than $1.5 billion in worldwide ticket sales and the new film will again reteam director Raimi, producers Ziskin and Arad, and actors Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker/Spider-Man and Kirsten Dunst as M.J..

Production on Spider-Man 3 is scheduled to begin early next year.

"In addition to the on-going relationship between Peter Parker and M.J., these films are driven by the great actors who have brought our villains to life," said Raimi. "Thomas Haden Church will be a fantastic and challenging new nemesis and we all look forward to working with him."

The identity of the new villain is being kept secret and while speculation is rampant about which character is being called into action, the studio will not comment on the casting beyond confirming Church.
Well, he's too old for Venom(Thank god), I'd assume that if Lizard is going to be in it they'd recast Dylan Baker.....I think it's probably either Vulture, Sandman or The Scorpion.

Voltron 03-22-2005 03:14 PM
This guy isn't too old to play Eddie Brock. I'm still keeping faith. Besides, Sandman, Vulture, and Scorpion would be terrible for a movie. One's a common crook, the second is a flying geezer, and the third is a moron.

BartAllen 03-22-2005 03:17 PM
at this point. it could be any of the spidey villians. but i think.. at this point no matter who they choose its going to be a little goofy. other then doc ock and green goblin.. and possibly kraven the hunter. the rest of spidys rogues are sort of goofy.

Voltron 03-22-2005 03:20 PM
If it's the Hobgoblin I'm shooting myself.

Bart, I agree with you for the most part. However, I think that Venom and the Lizard could carry a movie. Them and Alistair Smithe..

Kid Icarus 03-22-2005 03:23 PM
It should be Hobgoblin. I mean, damn, two movies with the set up for that story line? Isn't that enough?

I'd like to see Mysterio though, but that'd pry blow the special effects budget through the roof.

cqb101 03-22-2005 05:57 PM
Bah, I really, REALLY hope it isn't Venom. First of all, yes, he is too old to play Brock. Brock is suppose to be a couple of years older than Peter. Church is in his mid 40's. Secondly, they need to resolve the Goblin storyline before they move onto other villains. Finally, one movie is not enough to set up Venom and show him for who he really is and treat the character the way he SHOULD be treated.

If I was in charge(I wish!) I would have two villains in this one, Green Goblin(Harry) and the Lizard. Both characters have been introduced, and anyone who's seen Spidey 2 knows the Goblin is inevitable. During the movie introduce Brock and his hatred for Petter, and end the movie with John Jameson coming back from space( a la the animated series), and then use the next three movies(doubtful, but here's hoping) for Venom and even Carange(And up it to an R rating,too).

Oh, and Bruce Campbell should play Mysterio. He'd pull the character off perfectly.

This is the last movie.

Yep, and that's why they shouldn't use Venom. Not enough time to expnad on his character and with him in there the Goblin storyline won't get resolved.

That'd be great if Bruce played Mysterio. He'd do a great job. I think Harry will become Green Goblin II. There was like four Green Goblins in the comics. James Franco would do a geart job as a villain. He must have vengeance for Norman.

I'm sure they'll just have a villain that starts off all nice, acts almost like a mentor to Peter Parker then goes crazy and tries to kill him, kidnapping MJ in the process. It's two out of two so far.

Look, just because Church is in his 40's doesn't mean he can't play Venom. It would be mostly CGI, anyway, so it's not like he'd have to worry all that much about fantastic stunts. Besides, the movies have so far been only loosely based off the comics, so making Eddie Brock in his 30's (while Parker is in his 20's in the movies) isn't going to rock the very foundations of society.

And considering that 1/4 of New York knows who he is now, that should be two hard to pull off.

Shadow Leonardo 03-22-2005 10:15 PM
It most definetely will be the second Green Goblin. If it was Venom I hope they use Venom's Neversoft Spidey game voice then it would be a good laugh. :lol:

Brodie 03-23-2005 08:50 PM
If it isn't Venom, I won't be watching it. No ****ing lie.

Barkworm 03-23-2005 11:32 PM
I still think Venom would ruin the third movie. Maybe in the fourth one.

Spitfire 03-23-2005 11:40 PM
I hope he plays Venom I hear hes kinda big so he could fit the role. I dont want to see any other villian. Save the best for last. They already did Goblin and Octopus. The Lizard could be in it but Dr.Connors is already being played by someone else so Church cant be The Lizard. The Vulture is just lame and couldnt carry a movie so I hope he isnt the one either. I would like to see Kraven maybe too but hes no major villian either. I think, and Im sure most fans agree, that Venom should be the villian. Sides the tech and computer graphics exist now to do such a creature
And Backworm there isnt going to be a 4th movie. And if there is no one doing the first 3 will be in it or have anything to do with it

I agree all the way. I don't think we're ready for Venom just yet. Also, since Sony is planning on 3 more films, albeit that the same actors might not be cast, I think we can wait for the villain in at least the fourth or even fifth installment.

I'd rather they continue with Lizard and Harry as the Goblin. It just makes more sense.

As for Thomas Haden Church as the new bad guy, Scorpion might work. Remember that Jonah hired him to take down Spidey in the first place. A deeper focus on Jameson, and J.K. Simmons' portrayal of him (which was fabulous), would be a great thing to the franchise.

Also, on a sidenote, if they ever cast a man to play Sandman, they should highly consider Henry Rollins.

Barkworm 03-24-2005 12:19 AM
HAHAHA, you're right, he really looks like Sandman.

Spitfire 03-24-2005 01:15 AM
Wait 3 more movies? Oh no.....it's going to turn into Batman so by the time we do get Venom the movie series will suck :(

ThirdMarioBro 03-24-2005 02:18 AM
I want Venom. I want Venom now. That is all I will say. :D

Demented Utrom 03-24-2005 03:07 AM
I want Venom and carnage in this movie.It would be rated 14A if carnage was in it.
