Topher Grace joins Spiderman 3 Cast
 

Topher Grace (That 70's Show...and ...In Good Company) has been added to the cast for the upcoming Spiderman 3 movie. Marvel hasnt had kept his character secret so far so as far as I know of its unknown to most who he will be playing.

Rumours on the net are going crazy now that he will probably play one of the villains for the next Spiderman movie in which Raimi has said might possibly be his last.

what villain could Topher Grace possibly play?

Venom.

He's more suited for Jimmy Olson.

I really doubt Venom will be in it, Raimi doesn't really like the character. Not really got a lot of choice when it comes to decent villains who aren't just mindless grunts though, now that the Green Goblin and Doc Ock are over and done with.

How could you not like Venom? That is like the money movie right there...that's like the main enemy everyone knows.

lol him playing Venom HAHAHA

that would be awesome :roll:

I'd dispute that, personally, maybe for the younger generation of Spiderman fans, but the Green Goblin and Doc Ock seem far more well known overall to me.

GG will be in the next film, since he set that up last movie. As for the other villian...perhaps it'll be........Mysterio?

Fuck's sake Tom Haden Church has already signed and is almost 100% sure to be Sandman, there'd be little or no point throwing Venom in on top of that, either one or the other would just not have enough screentime.

There's already options with The Lizard, Wolfman and Harry going nutso to be GG 2...as for Grace, could be Mysterio, could be Hobgoblin, could be frickin' Shocker ffs. But I really, really doubt it'll be Venom.

Since I'm a fairly casual Spiderman fan, who the fuck is Sandman?

Man made out of sand, funnily enough.

Think Mr Fantastic with the whole 'can take any form' thing but can also render himself diamond-hard, more or less.

I don't remember his origin 100% I think he was a petty thief hiding out from the cops on a beach which they just happened to be doing atomic testing on/near, molecules got bonded to the sand or somesuch. Anyway if the CGI is up to scratch it should be a great spectacle.

Amazing what a nice dose of radiation can do to you. Should at least deliver from a visual standpoint...

Put a fish bowl on his head and he'll be Mysterio.

Lol...can you imagine Little Eric Forman trying to be menecing? It'll be the funniest shit ever.

Electro?

Hmmm... Topher sorta looks like Toby McGuire.

*gasp* Could Topher be none other than the infamous spider-clone Ben Reilly?!?!?

Isn't it a little soon to be having Ben Reilly?

Green Goblin will be back with Harry under the mask,

I still want them to pull Venom and Carnage out

I could see him as the Vulture, just give him some make up for when he is supposed to look older

Word. Fuck all this Green Goblin/Rhyno/Scorpion shit. Well, Goblin is acceptable because of the story with Harry, but meh. The rest of the villains fail.

Venom and Carnage were staples in my gaming life when the SNES was around. Maximum Carnage! There's a game right there. :D

Venom needs to be built up, two movies at least, unless they totally destroy his origin, throwing Carnage in as well would just be overkill, first you need to do Black costume Spiderman hen you nee to do Brock becming Venom then you need to do the Venom suit splitting itself and one part merging with Cassidy. Well I suppose they could change the origins if they really wanted to but anyway you look at it, you trying to fit all that in 2 hours will ensure that it would suck. Besides Venom and Carnage are a product of the 90s comics, I like that they are staying with the classic villains, the staples of the franchise.

Chances are the next movie will have multiple villains, with Harry as Green Goblin 2, and possibly the Lizard (since they've already introduced Dr. Connors in the second movie). Raimi had mentioned something or other about having the Black Cat in there somewhere too, which might not be too bad.

I'd really rather not see Venom or Carnage at all in the movies, since A) Venom's a really complicated character that needs some good build, and they haven't even introduced Eddie Brock, and B) despite looking awesome on ink-and-paper, something tells me Venom would look really stupid in a live-action movie.

While he would be a great visual, Sandman is a terrible idea. I like the villain in the books(he had a great story with Hydroman where they combined into this mud monster), but he can't hold a film by himself. If anything, I could imagine Church playing Mysterio or Eddie Brock, and Grace playing Electro or the Scorpion.

Odds are it's going to be Sandman, since there's various rumours they've been doing a lot of effects tests involving sand.

I'm putting money on now that Spiderman defeats Sandman by mixing him with cement

Check out Spider-Man.

Chris Benoit?

He'll be Peter Parker's evil twin!!!!


Or maybe I'm just the only person who thinks Topher Grace looks a lot like Tobey McGuire. *shrug*

ITS TOBY HE GOT FAT OMG LET ME TALK LIEK I ANM 5

Tobey needs to do the Jeremy Shockey, he needs to grow a mullet and let it flow out the back of the mask.

I personally think Scorpion would be an awesome villain to sidetrack us while they handle the Eddie Brock and Harry Osbourne storylines. The Sandman and Scorpion being hired to kill Spider-Man by Harry would be a nice touch, making his transition into the Green Goblin seem harder than just simply going "I'm evil now.", since Peter Parker is his best friend.

I personally hope they kill off Mary-Jane in this movie. Maybe the same way that Gwen Stacey died? Have Harry Osbourne decide to save her from Scorpion and Sandman after he orders them to kidnap her to lure out Parker, due to a change of heart. Have Mary-Jane deliver one of the best slaps in cinema history to him, which makes Harry snap, shoving Mary-Jane off the bridge. Spidey catches her *CRACK*, her neck breaks. Follow this up with The Sandman blasting Spidey and an already dead Mary-Jane out into the water, and having Sandman become a sort of mud creature by mixing with the water, and you have some pretty good final action sequences lined up, IMO.

They already dropped MJ off a bridge in the first one, can't see them doing it again.

Good point. Well maybe a bridge or something. Something really needs to come and shit on Parker's day. :y:

Nah.

Check a few posts up where I speculate Topher is Peter Parker's clone.
;)

oh. totally missed that. :o

Carnage is one of the worst characters ever. He's just a skinny Venom with no character depth whatsoever. I'm so glad they've killed him off(for now anyway) in the comics.

If any one looks like Tobey Mcguire its that Jake Gayllhan guy from The Day after tommarow, me and a freind acctually argued this point he thought it was Tobey and I'm like no! Its a differnt guy..(shrugs) Whatever.

Carnage and that whole series :drool:

I need my Demogobolin fix

Have Aunt May shoot her.

I'd like to see Scorpion and Mysterio Be the villans. Have Eddie call Mysterio "Famila" Then hit him with a chair, rip off his fish bowl, Suplex him on some stairs and say "Why did you make me do this Mysterio?"
