Official Spiderman 3 Updates & News thread

I read an interview in cinescape with Raimi. He said he is please with the fans response, and is actuallylooking forward to the spiderman 3 story. He was asked why, and what he has planned. He said it is to early to make any claims as to what the story will actually revolve around,because there are so many ideas floating around,but he is excited on elaborating more on peters character and mj and spidermans relationship. He was asked what the wrost part if any of being the head of such a movie is? He replied that other than exhauston, the pressure that studio reps put on him for future sequals. Number two hasnt even reached it's peak in the fans eye's and they are already approaching me for two more sequals. He was asked how many more installments he thinks he would do. He said can't answer that question,but as long as he was intersted in the character and feel that there is original material there, and the fans accept his vision he will ride out the spiderman ride as long as it lasts. He wants to avoid redundancy at all costs. As of right now he can only see two more possible routes for spiderman to go down without being repetitous.

If Shocker or Electro can't be in it I think it should bee Scorpion, If you've played the Spider-Man Movie Game Scoorpian has a suit on that he's desperate to take off, it could revolve around the people who put that suit on him!

I think that one badguy isn't enough! They should put in a least main badguy in the start that Spider-Man has too foil eg Shocker or Rhino

scorpian well never be in a movie becuz thats y they put him on the game

jawdropwhy not???

because scorpian was not a very good, or threatning villian, not to mention there are mayn other spidey villians that are far more popular and that have interesting stories and depth to there characters

ya scorpian is not as popular

I really hope it is either Venom or the Lizard, I couldn't stand it being the goblin again. Sure in a future movie it may be cool, but marketing the Goblin again so soon after the first isn't a very smart thing to do, then again with Sony ya never know. 😄 Using redundant ideas would be pretty boring but in the same series, jeez you might be asking for failure.

Everyone I've asked said they would see it like 2-3 times just for Venom. And would be EXTREMELY hesitant to even go see it 1 time if the Goblin was marketed back. I know all you die hard spiderman people shout about, about comics and such and would see it regardless of anything. However the majority of people (lots of teens) would rather see a really evil guy and some cool special effects (-cough-venom-cough). SONY cares about money, not the fans 😛

I mean they sort of set it up in the 2nd with the 'astronaut' talk, you know, put 2 and 2 together. 🙄 WHEW HAD to get that off my chest. Flame away. 🤣

If i had it my way; Lizard would be the villain of Spider-Man 3.

Harry Osborn's Green Goblin persona would be the villain of Spider-Man 4, this film should also introduce Eddie Brock. Spidey gets Symbiot suit.

Venom should be the villain of Spider-Man 5.

The Sinister 6 should be the villains of Spider-Man 6.

Carnage should be the villain of Spider-Man 7.

Morbuis and Man-Wolf should be in Spider-Man 8.

Norman Osborn could return as the Green Goblin in Spider-Man 9.

Spider-Man 10 could have Scorpion, Rhino, and the Jackal.

Spider-Man 11 could have Rodrick Kingsley's Hobgoblin.

Spider-Man 12 could have the Clone Saga.

In Spider-Man 13, Magiure could play Ben Reilly and the villain could be Kaine.

Kingpin could be the villain in Spider-Man 14.

And what about Hydro Man and Sandman for Spider-Man 15?

Previding they deside to make a series of Spidey films, and they all have the same majic as the first 2 films; i think this would be the way to go!

I don't think using Goblin again is redundant. Let's remember that it is Harry behind the mask instead of his father this time, and that his motives are completely different, thus the storyline will be completely different. The only redundancy is possibly the Green Goblin costume, which to me is not a big deal. After all, you can handle seeing spiderman in the same costume for all three movies, why not Green Goblin one more time? You sound as if we're getting one Green Goblin movie after another but think about it, the first Spiderman came out in 2002, and the next will come out in 2007. I think 5 years is not considered "marketing the Goblin again so soon." I do agree with you that SONY cares about money more than the fans, which is why they would want James Franco to play the villain. Although Venom may be a cool villain to teenage males, that's not enough.. you're forgetting the other half of the population.. FEMALES. Seriously, the only good-looking actor in the whole film is James Franco and if you want to market to the female population, you NEED a good-looking actor in the film to play a big part. Why else would they give James Franco so much screen time in the SPiderman 2 trailers and commercials when in actuality his screen time in the movie is small?

nobody wants to see the green goblin again it be kool if harry was hobogoblin instead but its not gonna happen i know i wouldn't wanna see spiderman 3 if the bad guy is green goblin again,because i didn't like the first spiderman movie that much

i heard that in an interview, the director said the he was doing everything in his power to avoid having anything to do with venom, and he certainly wont make a movie having anything to do with a char. I also heard that for certain, the villain in the next movie will be electro, which at first pissed me off, cuz i hated the char, but after seeing the "ultimate" version of him, it might not be so bad.

Norman's dead and Sandman is part of the Sinister Six...

norman died in the comics too, but was later brought back because the syrum had caused him to go into "suspended animation" instead of dying, though they thought he was dead and even sent him to the morgue....

what are u talking about there will be only spiderman till the 4rth movie, the other may come only in 2020

again another villain is destroyed by sam raimi (green goblin suit, different host for venom) i think eddie brock should be venom not John "im a gay idiot" Jamerson

Spidey got the symbiote from the secret wars...eddie got it after spidey got rid of it and was about it commit suicide. There's no way JJJ's son can be Venom! that's stupid! John Jameson is the Man-Wolf! he can't be Venom.

all in all the movies does NOT have enough science behind them to bring back people from the dead like the comic books. I wouldn't be surprised if lots of stuff never happens. like clones and even if lizard ever appears. I mean they didn't even have peter inventing his own webbing! they take so many shortcuts to get a good product, but wil end up screwing themselve in the end. if peter never uses web capsules, then how can he modify his webbing to fight certain villians for instance... another mistake by movie makers. if they're gunna make a movie about something, make it ACCURATE!

Yeah raimi said if the fans outpour premits a fourth movie and he felt up to it, the fourth would be his last installment. this doesnt mena it will be the end of the series, unless maguire refuses todo anymore, and that is very possible. Maguire isnt an actor who just fell into this role, he is a talented actor with an impressive acting resume, so i dont see him sticking with spidey for more than two more installments. raimi also doesnt want to do venom, but i believe if raimi does do a fourth, which would be his last, he will do venom, because he knows what the fans want, and cares about there opinions and feedback on the films

I reckon its Harry Goblin, with The Lizard in a climactic finale.

And you know what? I hope it ENDS right there! A trilogy, one great trilogy.

No Venom. You hear that? I said no Venom! He'd be awesome in the hands of Raimi, but if Raimi isn't doing them, it'll suck.

You'll have Raimis classic 3 movies, then you'll have the fourth outsider movie with Venom in it.

If Raimi does a Quadrilogy, then fine, but from where I'm standing, it looks as though Raimi wants to concentrate more on the story, the relationship between Harry, Peter and MJ, and the development of the characters more than pleasing the Venom fanboys. Good on him too.

But for me, the finale, the final chapter, should be a climax of the buildup from the beginning. The climax will be the fight between Harry and Peter.

If we did have Venom in 4, then what purpose would it serve other than to please the slobbering fanboy community seemingly obsessed with this "OMG Super Cool0rz!" character? He'd be a brand new character! A waste of time.

Unless...........

We see Eddie Brock and the symbiote in 3. If Raimi at least commits himself to doing this, all will be saved. If he plants the seeds early, then Venom will have as much character as Harry in terms of the whole "story of revenge" deal. As it stands, Harry Osborn looks like he's gonna be one heckuva villain to topple - merely from a character point of view. Harrys character has had 2 movies-worth of exposure and building, Eddie has had nothing yet. Venom has to be seen as "the final chapter" more than Harry, or else it will be a waste of time.

THANK YOU, Red Superfly, couldn't have said it any better.

Cheers.

You know what? Spider-Man feels like it reminds me of Star Wars (the originals).

I mean, we had number one, which thrown us in with characters in a storyline which had a story going on before we get there. We see the hero emerge in the guise of this kid, and the villain is defeated (the high villain is killed) by the end thanks to the hero.

The second one is darker, ten times better and throws in more plot points and a few new faces. It ends on a cliffhanger.

The third film returns to certain aspects from the first film (I'm thinkin Tatooine and the Death Star II) and ends the ongoing struggle. (You could even say Norman is a bit like the emperor egging on the villain)

I was just coming up with these similarities yesterday, and it struck me that even though Star Wars brought back things we had already seen in the first movie, it added a new twist to them, making it seem fresh again, yet familiar. I reckon Spidey 3 can do the same with Green Goblin easily.
