You know...Harry doesn't really need to have that large of a role in the film, if you think about it. For instance, he could fight Spider-Man in the beginning and lose, be locked up in an asylum for most of the film and have like 3 little scenes during that. Then he breaks out at the end, hoping to go kill Peter, and that's when that whole reversal happens and he helps defeat Sandman. I really hope they don't kill Venom off. Harry I think is doomed to die. Sandman, most likely, will be killed. Venom though, they should keep him alive - especially if he only has a small part. I don't want to see Sandman team up with Venom either. I want to see it like, Sandman is trying to kill Spider-Man, and Venom is trying to kill Spider-Man, but neither one of them want to share him, so they also fight each other. Sort of like a mexican standoff. Then when Harry comes, he can take care of Sandman while Venom fights Parker. GG2 can kill Sandman in a self-sacrificing way - why? Well if you notice, Parker hasn't killed either of the villains so far in the films. Norman killed himself essentially (Peter was just dodging it) and Ock killed himself (did Peter throw him into the explosion or hold him underwater? lol No. He chose to do it himself.) If Raimi wants to keep up the tone of having Peter not actually kill the villain, then he can easily make it so Harry kills Sandman in a self-sacrificing act to save Peter.
