Thomas Haden Church/Spider-Man 3 rumors
 

So, apparently the web's abuzz with the rumor/fact(?) that Thomas Haden Church is playing "the" villain in the third Spider-Man movie. A lot of people seem to be convinced this villain is Venom, but when you look at the guy you can pretty much rule that out, right?



Not exactly buff like Eddie Brock, let alone Venom. I'm assuming the foundations for a Venom story might be laid in the coming movie, but a different villain's going to appear first. Who could it be?

Stiltman?

Carnage. :eek

But I know in the comic book that Venom came first.

But that guy kind of looks like a guy who would play Carnage. :(

Click on ''Daily Bugle'' or...

:( I want to see Venom and Carnage team up and open up a can of whoop-ass on Spiderman and I want 6 films, not just 3.

He's too old to play Venom or Carnage.

I´m guessing that the villain for the next movie is electro. Thomas Haden kinda reminds me of Sandman though. :/

Well, Raimi detests Venom, so it probably won't be him.

Sandman or Electro could go, though.

Venom is the only thing that could make the next spiderman movie watchable. :(

mysterio! :x

I don't know, I think he looks like a perfect Venom. Maybe that's just me.

I wanna see Mysterio as his next villain. Preferably, Rey.

Fuck no man if they cleaned him up a little he could be the doc that becomes lizard? I think Mysterio would rock ass. If they mak him HobbGoblin I'll kill someone. who the fuck is going to team up with Teh new GG?

EDIT: Nevermind

thats what im thinking....

or maybe boomerang... :lol

and i think they dont have rights either

how could they have the rights to spiderman and not be able to get the rights to a particular spiderman villan???

Don't mentally tax him - He's an ICP fan.

They already had that guy in the second movie, he was the teacher with the one arm... fag.

I forgot about that thanx for reminding me.
I think they should have Campbell there dressed as a frenchman and Cll him the Dastardly Chin and He can have conversations with his chin like in those old Kraft Dinner Commercials.

and mexican

He looks exactly like Venom's host. Besides, Venom's a badass, who wouldn't pay to see him?

It won't be mysterio, I can guarentee it. They put him in the Spiderman 2 game, and he was a complete puss.

no one has mentioned the vulture... is he just way too gay for the big screen?

I'm pretty sure Vulture Scorpion and Rhino were in teh Games of the Movie so theyre out. That sucks. I would pay motherfucking moneys for a movie with the Insideous 6 :( that would be the TITS!

have you ever even HEARD of comic books?

If that that guy buffed up and dyed his hair, he would be a good Eddie Brock. I'm sure if someone hits him a few times with a board, he'd make a good Venom, as well.

I remember Raimi saying something about wanted to have the Sandman in a movie, because he would look cool to do. The only problem I have with that is that Sandman is basically a thug with superpowers, and can't carry a whole movie on his own.

Double villian anyone?

That would work. Hm. I think the Green Goblin and the Sandman were on a trio in the comics. I'll try to find out if they were, and who was on it. Because if they did that, well, that would be pretty cool.

Ah, and if they wrote Spider-Man like Spider-Man (ie- wisecracks) and got a better actress to play Mary Jane Watson.

Does no one remember batman forever and batman and robin? I'm sorry, but having two villains is just asking for bad luck and people to remember the batman series going downhill at #3.

batman returns had two villains too :/ or did catwoman not count or something

Two villains could work, and I think is going to be inevitable. They just have to think it through. The Riddler and Two-Face had nothing in common, and Poison Ivy and Mr. Freeze even less. They could either pick a few guys who've actually worked together against Spider-Man in the comics, or who don't work together and just fight Spider-Man on their own. Like the Rocket Racer and Big Wheel.

I think the second villain will be that Harry Osbourne kid. Hobgoblin?

in the comics hobgoblin was someone else, just a crook who robbed the green goblin's caches. harry was just the green goblin II. :P

and he's gotta be a villian in the next one, they spent too much time building that up in spiderman2 not to run with it in 3.

I could go with Harry becoming the Hobgoblin. Mostly just because I want to see Hobbie in a movie.

um, sinister six anyone?

I was a little tipsy when I posted that. Not drunk, but apparently intoxicated enough to not remember her. Anyway, it was alright with 2, but when they had the riddler and two face it blew ass >:

From all the shit the IMDB dorks ar throwing around it sounds like Venom and Man-Wolf :(

I hope they write a good story that has villain that will fit and not say just make some cookie cutter plot and crowbar two villains into it.

I've seen too many movies based on liscenced properties do that shit.

There has NEVER been real information on the IMDb boards.

Did you know that when Sandman made his first appearance as an FF villian his name was "Paste Pot Pete"?

I'm NOT making that up.

Didn't Paste Pot Pete become the Trapster?

a brief google search indicates that max is getting senile :(

Finally, AICN reports that multiple spies at Sony have confirmed that Thomas Hayden Church will indeed be playing the villain The Sandman. There's apparently a ton of Sandman conceptual art all over the Spidey-offices. The character was a prison escapee hiding out at an atomic testing facility when a explosion goes off. His molecules fuse with sand, giving him essentially shape shifting ability along with various other skills.

Trapster was Paste Pot Pete, Sandman has always been Sandman, except when he mixed with Hyrdoman and became Mudman.

black tarantula would have been cool. He beated spider-man up. but let him live.

you have the rights to mock about everything about me but dont mock my nationality please. >:

Black Tarantula is cool, but not popular enough for the kiddies to recognize, I think. They'll go with someone who the general public can identify. I'm betting on Hobgoblin as being the main villain and maybe some Venom references thrown in.

You can pretty safely ignore anything arrowx ever says and not worry about missing anything. I think maybe 1 out of his 3000 posts was even remotely funny or insightful.

I'm not trying to be racist or nothing, It sounds like tho.

side affect of being a complete idiot i guess.
