Venom Rumored to be In Spider-Man 3

February 03, 2005 - Sam Raimi is hard at work on the script for Spider-Man 3 with the help of his brother Ted. The last time I spoke with Raimi, at the press day for The Grudge, he said that, at his current stage in the writing process, he wanted to let Peter Parker's journey determine who the villain would be. Just this week, Raimi has been quoted in interviews across the Web as saying that he has figured out who the villain would be, but couldn't reveal it just yet.

After reading the rumors, I figured who better to ask than the man himself? Earlier today, at the press day for the film Boogeyman, a production of Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert's Ghost House Pictures, both men were on hand to promote the film and, as might be expected, try their best to deflect the impending barrage of Spider-Man 3 villain questions.

As some journalists lacked a bit of subtlety, the Spider-Man 3 villain question came up almost immediately for Raimi: "Actually, I'm not allowed to say about the villains or the heroes or the storylines or themes of the picture yet. I think Sony wants to make their own presentation, and not for probably like a year, when it gets [closer] to the release of the picture. I think they want to keep it quiet and at some point in the future make a proper presentation, probably with an illustration or a mock-up of the character when they cast him, the name of the character… Or her," Raimi laughs, trying to maintain the illusion of who the character might be. (Laughs) "Tricky, that one. I'm actually just not at liberty to say, but I'm sure that they will make that presentation whenever they determine the time."

Noting that Raimi is in good spirits about the whole rumor issue, another journalist suggests that Raimi simply give a little wink if Venom will be the villain.

Raimi laughs and jokingly winks at us. "There's something in my eye." (Laughs)

Tapert fires back with a question of his own: "Can I ask a question back? Why does everybody want Venom in it? I wanted to just know as an outsider, why, because when we walked in today, somebody walked up and said, 'We're so excited Venom's in it,' and then she said that some Internet site ran something today."

Being a room full of Internet geeks, myself included, we preceded to recount to Raimi and Tapert why we thought Venom was such a cool villain and how he would fit perfectly into the film series.

"Yeah, he can shoot webs and stick to walls," Raimi says. "I think he can look like [different people]… Yeah, there's different origins if I can remember them right. I think, I might be getting confused, but I believe that one is a gift in outer space, for some reason he's concerned about keeping his secret identity even there, but they give him a suit, but isn't that an alternate version of it, or am I getting that confused with something else?"

Another journalist recounts the plot of a Venom story involving Jameson's son. "Yes," Raimi agrees. "That's what I'm wondering. I thought he brings back something that makes Spider-Man, or maybe I'm thinking of the animation I saw. Yeah, you know, there's so many versions of it, I'm thinking of an animated story that that happens in."

As Raimi and Tapert's time ran short, the Venom side talk continued as they left the room. Admittedly, neither would officially confirm the rumors, but the joking attitude and surprising amount of information Raimi seemed to have about Venom certainly suggest a strong likelihood. We'll keep you posted for an official word, but for now, you be the judge.

Oh man, If venom is going to be in the 3rd one, I just hope If they do go through the 7 films the way Raimi wants it, they need to bring in....CARNAGE!!!

or better yet, MAXIMUM CARNAGE!! *drools and melts*

Venom in Spiderman 3? I might just have to see it then. Oh, and I agree... where there's Venom, there has to be Carnage. Let's hope it turns out better than Spiderman or Spiderman 2.

I have stated this many times and I will do it again now:
If Venom appears in a Spiderman film I'll watch it, if he (it) doesn't then I won't watch it
(which means I haven't seen Spiderman & Spiderman 2).
I wouldn't want carnage, he blows in comparison to venom.

*Legend* · Feb 05, 2005, 11:08 AM

yea, I bet they gonna bring in Venom if they are in the third one and then stretch to a fourth one just for Carnage

But I cant think of any actor who has the skinny body size of Carnage to play him.

Hassun · Feb 05, 2005, 11:16 AM

Maybe he'll be completely computer generated...

*Legend* · Feb 05, 2005, 11:28 AM

That would suck especially if they do use fire or sound waves and those gooey stuff comes off and we get a computer generated human

Venom would be awesome if he was in the third spiderman movie. Carnage would be cool too but I think Venom is better.

*Dark.* · Feb 05, 2005, 12:38 PM

Ahh venom. I was thinking that Venom was undoubtibly going to be in Spiderman 3, but then I reconsidered once I saw the ending of 2. Sigh, I hate to admit it, but I think Harry's the baddy in 3, but I think Venom is a even bigger chance to be in Spid.4.

And as long as they keep the special effects going like they have been for one and two, The Spiderman with Venom will undoubtibly be the best one. I predict we will see a venom as a possibility at the end of 3.

Man if he is the villian in 3 then one of my dreams will be fulfilled, one of the coolest damn villians ever on the big screen *gets goosebumps*

*mamimi_rue* · Feb 05, 2005, 02:52 PM

^_^ oooohhhhhhhh.... Venom.... sooo ermmm... sexy ?
Damn badass villian, now that makes me really wanna actually watch the film

Raimi Wanted there to be 7 Spiderman movies. But Sony thought that it would be too much of a good thing. So We never know unless we see a trailer or some word of a 4th Spidey Movie.

I'm sure Venom would be either Part CG or all CG. Like with Spider-Man, how on some parts he's all Cg (when going through the webslinging scenes).
