Spider-Man 3 is the third movie in the Spider-Man series and is planned for an American release on May 4, 2007. The movie will be directed by Sam Raimi. Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, J.K. Simmons, Dylan Baker, and James Franco are the confirmed returning cast members from the previous two Spider-Man movies.
New Actors
It has been confirmed that the actor Thomas Haden Church will be playing the main villain. Actor Topher Grace, known for his lead role in TV sitcom That 70's Show, has joined the cast, although his role is unknown at this time.
Possible Villains and Storylines
Church is rumored the most to play either Sandman or Venom.
Franco's character, Harry Osborn, is expected to be the second Green Goblin or possibly be the Hobgoblin in order to avoid the appearance of repeating villains. Harry Osborn becomes the Green Goblin in most comic book adaptions which he is featured, although he was the Hobgoblin in one Ultimate Spider-Man adaption. The first Green Goblin, played by Willem Dafoe was the villain in the first film and was also the father of Franco's character. Raimi has stated that this film will stray the most from the comic books and has hinted at the possibility that Franco may not become a supervillain at all.
The Lizard was once considered the most likely option due the actor Dylan Baker being cast as Dr. Curt Connors (who becomes the Lizard in the Spider-Man comics) in Spider-Man 2. The Lizard has probably been dropped as a supervillain considering Baker was not immediately signed to this film when other new actors were being sought out and signed. There is also speculation that another sympathetic "mad scientist" villain in the third film would seem repetitive to the movie goers who have seen the second film. However, Avi Arad, CEO of Marvel Comics, confirmed in June 2005 that Baker is signed to this film.
Sam Raimi did happen to let slip, in an interview with Wizard: The Comics Magazine, that there will be more than one villian, so Sandman, Lizard, Green Goblin, or even a Sinister Six, could all be possible. Raimi also let slip that the villain would involve massive CGI, furthering the possibility that Sandman or Venom will be involved. Though in this interview, Avi Arad as much as denied Sandman or Venom would appear in the film, he seemed to be joking.
In several independent polls asking fans to vote on who should be the film's villain, almost all the polls came back with Venom as the most popular answer. Raimi has stated that, if Venom is used, his famous alien symbiote costume would be brought to Earth though a space mission involving John Jameson, the fianceė of Mary Jane in the second film and the son of J. Jonah Jameson, Parker's boss. It should be noted that Venom's human half, Eddie Brock, was mentioned by Robbie Robertson as unable to photograph Spider-Man the first film.
Raimi has stated that Topher Grace will play "a complex role" which will contrast with the comedic, wholesome, or good-natured roles he's most known for playing. Grace's role in the movie is unclear, but despite secondary and tertiary paraphrased news releases, neither Sony nor Raimi has ever officially confirmed that Grace will play a supervillain. Grace is rumored to play either Ned Leeds, Mysterio, Electro, a friend of Peter Parker, or a potential competition for Peter Parker as a love interest to Kirsten Dunst's character, Mary Jane Watson.
Raimi admitted that the character Black Cat was removed from early drafts of Spider-Man 2 script. Raimi had expressed some interest in using her character, but he has not confirmed she will finally appear in this sequel. The actress Chloë Sevigny however has claimed that she tried out for a new role as a "blond buxom" for this film, which many fanboys assumed to be the Black Cat or possibly Gwen Stacy, Parker's first true love in the comics. There is speculation she made these claims to draw attention to herself, which other actresses have done in the past. Sony has neither officially acknowledged or denied Sevigny's claim.
