The official website for Spider-Man
3 has recently made its first move to help answer the
villain rumors that have been floating around for about six months now.
What is the first confirmation? Well, if the picture above gives you any
idea, Sony has announced that Thomas Haden Church will play Flint Marko
-- aka Sandman.
Spider-Man 3 Villains
Now that Columbia/Sony has released one official
villain, the other two should be sure to come. However, we have already
assumed what these two characters will be after recent slips by various
people including Kirsten Dunst. However, I big assumption is Venom, who
we have been hoping to show up this whole year. According to initial slips,
we had heard Venom mentioned, discussed and even spoke of for CGI effects.
We then later received a report explaining how bad the Venom outfit looked.
Is it possible that this was all one big hoax to lead us astray from the
real villains?
Hard to say, but I wouldn't put it past Raimi.
A while back we posted a scoop running around the
net that claimed that both Topher Grace and Thomas Haden Church were playing
the same villain in different forms-- Chameleon. I am sure that this would
have been a nice twist for Spider-Man 3 if the scoop hadn't got
leaked to the net, so we then figured that Sam Raimi might have been trying
to throw us off with various Venom 'leaks'.
