The Lizrd's inclusion also opens up a bunch more story angles and opportunities--his relationship factors in big to both Peter and even Eddie, and gives the two another possible conflict. But, like u said, how or if this manifests itself has yet to be seen.

In the comics, Peter doesn't call himself the Human-Spider when he goes to the wrestling contest. He just calls himself Spider-man. I don't know where Man-Spider came from.
WHAT THE HELL!?! Eddie Brock was in Spiderman!?!

Eddie Brock
Richard C. Everbeck - (Also known as R.C. Everbeck) Word is that it is a very brief run-in that Peter has with Eddie. Spider-man comic fans know that Eddie one day becomes Venom, one of Spider-man's deadliest foes!
Richard co-starred in the Cannes Short Film Award winng "Thornes of Fate" as well

scratch that.....I cant belive it, they filmed the scene, but never played it in the initial theatrical release. at least this mean's Eddie was set on his path to become Venom

Our interview with Spider-man's Eddie Brock
<Editor's Note> - Although filmed, the scene described below was not in the initial theatrical run of Spider-man. Sometimes that happens. We are leaving it online to give insight into the art of film making, and the personal observations of Mr. Everbeck.
Richard C. Everbeck, also known as RC Everbeck, was kind enough to chat with TheSpidermanMovie.com about is role as Peter Parker's nemesis, Daily Bugle photographer Eddie Brock.
Peter P: You've come a long way from your first film role, kissing up to Julia Roberts as a tie salesman to shoving America's favorite teenage hero around...
Richard: When I first came on the set I told Sam (Raimi) that Spider-man was my favorite comic book hero. Sam asked if I minded shoving Peter Parker. I didn't mind at all! After all, it was Eddie doing the shoving, not me!
Peter P: So, were you nervous being on the set of a blockbuster like Spider-man?
Richard: I've been in big movies before, so it was more extreme excitement. I extensively studied the character of Eddie Brock and knew that that he would eventually become Venom. Sam and I talked about Eddie. He told me that "This Could Be Huge".
Peter P: Venom is, by far, the most requested Spidey villain for Spidey II!
Richard: You're preaching to the choir!
Peter P: I don't think we're giving anything away by saying that Eddie doesn't like Peter Parker. What happens?
Richard: Eddie just got reamed by J. Jonah Jameson (actor J.K. Simmons) over some low quality pictures he had taken for the newspaper. As I'm storming out of the office, in comes this kid with an old camera, and these incredible close-ups of Spider-man. The "kid" is Peter Parker. He looks at this "newbie", his pictures and his amateur Brownie camera, in disgust. I think his father had given it to him, so it means a lot to him.
Peter P: What was it like working with Sam Raimi as your director?
Richard: I have been really lucky. In my first major film, Pretty Woman, Garry Marshall was the director and he really let me "go for it". It was a very brief scene, but it was more than just standing in the background. Sam is like that. A very generous director. He trusts his actors, he gave his actors creative latitude as long as it made sense for the character within the confines of a scene. He sees the importantance of giving an actor the chance to "react" with the other performers while still maintaining control over the scene.
Peter P: Where will we be seeing you next?
Richard: I have the role of Billy in "Billy the Kid". I also have a role as a bull rider in another film. Gunslinger. Bull Rider. Tie Salesman. Hero Shover. That's Me.
Peter P: So I guess your available, if they ask sequel-time. What are your thoughts about the sequel?
Richard: Well don't want to get too excited. I look at "Back to the Future". In the original movie, there is a character named Jennifer Parker, played by Claudia Wells. In the second film, Jennifer was played by Elisabeth Shue. I'd hate to be "Elisabeth Shued"!
Peter P: Hmmm... We have had 5 Batmans.
Richard: My point exactly.
Peter P: So how long have you had the acting bug?
Richard: In the second grade I got the role of Charlie in "Charlie Crow". In the old family videos you can see me proudly announcing that I was going to Hollywood. I guess I was born with it.
Peter P: So what's your Dream Role?
Richard: I'd love to play Han Solo in Star Wars 7, 8 and 9!
Peter P: I have several points of contention with Star Wars, but I'll save them for whenever I can nail George Lucas for a few minutes of his time...
Richard: Harrison Ford is probably my favorite actor. He has an "everyman -who-rises-to-the-occasion" quality about him. You look at him on screen and think "I could do that", or at least I'd like to think I would. That's what I like about Spider-man as well. I could always relate to Peter Parker.
Peter P: Hey, you managed to make this whole interview come full circle by bringing Spider-man back into the conversation.
Richard: Thanks for the chance to talk to you. Good luck with the website!
Peter P: I'll see if we can replace your first Eddie Brock appearance, along with the first Venom, for your research.
Richard: Thanks

Oh, Lord, is he ever yummy. How could they cut that scene? And Unknown is right--it is DEFINATELY not on the dvd anywhere. I'd remember a face like that. That guy is downright delectable, and he really looks the part. I hope they use him when and if they ever introduce Brock properly.
It apears that Spiderman 3 will be the last film in the series. there is an interview in this months Cinescape. We all know that Raimi said he would keep up with spiderman as long as the fans enjoyed the movies, and as long as he stayed Interested. raimi said in Cinescape that during the writing process of Spidey 3, he and his brother came up a concept that would leave an opening for another sequal after spidey 3. when the producer got wind of this, he said that she told him that spiderman 3 will be it for the series. Now i know, this doesnt mean that much, but if Raimi is going to publicaly say this, then it has some validity. I dont care much, i mean Spiderman 2 was a clone of Spiderman 1 and i dont think a third would be much different, but if it is going to be the last, i would really like to see some more interesting villians other than another green goblin, and a lizard.
