More Spidey 3 Villain Rumors
Here's more detail on why some fans think Topher Grace won't be Venom.
Warning: Spoilers
A blog poster on Counting Down claims to have inside information on just who Topher Grace will portray in the upcoming Spider-Man 3 movie. There's been talk that Grace would be Chameleon or Venom but the Counting Down contributor offers the following as evidence that he'll instead be Electro. (While an entertaining read, take this with a 50-pound bag of salt).
"Interesting in who people actually think Grace is playing in Spider-Man 3. Well, I'm not going to come on here and act like I don't know anything or anyone, but I do. I'll be honest with you guys, Grace is not Venom, but Venom is set up for SP4 in this movie. Topher Grace is playing Electro. Yes, Electro, not Venom. I like the character of Venom really well, he's a brute with no brains but his strength out matches Spidey's smarts. But back to topic, Grace is playing the blonde, ambitious billionaire Maxwell Dillion in Spider-Man 3. If you want a good idea of how the character is being portrayed, watch the Fantastic Four. He is a dark and moody character like Von Doom. Dillion is in poor health because of a rare blood disease so he has to take these antigens which come into play later. harry Osborne hires Marko Flint as a so called hired hand. I was told how Electro transforms. The Sandman comes into the movie already with his "Special Ability" and it is said how he got them through a flashback scene, thanks to OsCorp. Dillion is turned when The Sandman is fighting with Spidey near a super conductor transformer type thing, thats the best way I can describe it from the info i was told, and Dillion is knocked into it, causing a large explosion. The electricity reacts with his antigens and gives him the powers you see in the comics, including the ability to throw electric type Boomerangs, glide on a type of cloud of electricity, and to just use the blasts of electricity also. After this, Electro as he is referred to now, or Sparky by Spider-Man, which he actually uses in the movie a few times, blames both The Sandman and Spider-Man for what has happen to him. Even though he no longer needs his anitgens, he must now feed on sources of electricity to survive. Electro is introduced in what seems like the first half hour of the movie and spends the rest of the movie trying to kill both Sandman and Spidey. Meanwhile during the movie, Jameson's son returns to space with two passengers and a stow away boards his ship. yes its a small red-gel like substance that attaches itself to anything with molecules, remember that. Harry Osborne plays a smaller role in this movie, but maybe the most important. Picking up where his father failed with his military formula, he revises the formula...........into something more. The gel-substance attaches itself to Jameson and he then kills the other two members of his shuttle squad, he doesnt transform into anything, his mind is just being controlled by the well I might as well say it, alien. There is two, maybe three spectacular-mind blowing scenes in this movie. There is one battle that starts at the bottom of the streets, climbs to the roofs of skyscrapers, then travels back down to the streets in Time Square!!!! Another moment is when the shuttle is going to crash into the heart of New York, and you'd be surprised who actually steps up and tries to help stop the city from being destroyed!!! The third scene is for all of you non-believers out there, the climax of the movie which i will not give away on here, has a small scene showing our idioit of the day, Harry, yet again helping create a nemesis for Spidey, when he gives Jameson's son his newly revised military formula, which reacts with the alien controlling Jameson's mind. He almost instantly dies, and yes he does die!!! The climax of the movie actually happens inside, outside, and on top of the church where Jameson's services are being held. The funeral services for Jameson are being held inside while a battle erupts outside between The Sandman who has come to hunt down Parker, who he knows is Spidey because he was hired by Harry to kill Peter aka Spider-man, and Electro who followed Sandman to the church. When Peter and Mary Jane walk up to the casket containing Jameson, the battle between The Sandman and Electro bursts through the front of the church, creating a major distracting which is just the right moment for the now called alien symbiote to travel from Jameson to Peter!!!! Peter dodges people to the back of the now cleared out church but before he can even rip his shirt off, what I'am told is an amazing transformation using computer imagaing of course, that starts with a single black strand, almost like a hair that comes out of his arm, which Peter doesn't find too pleasing because he begins to scream, as the first strand wraps itself around his arm, and more and more black strands come out and do the exact same thing until his entire body is covered in an awsome black suit!!!! The suit also gives him a slightly bigger size, which I'm told you can notice he is bigger with the black suit, but not body builer freakish huge lol Then the final battle takes place with the new Spider-Man against both Electro and The Sandman......I can not say how this battle ends, but you will be slightly surprised, lets just say it dont end like the last two movies........then the closing of the movie. You see peter Parker sitting on top of a skyscraper, talking about his newly aquired "Greater" power, then Peter dives off of the building and his suit takes shape again as we see him swinging along like the last two ending, only faster, farther leaps and swings, you can truly see a newer, stronger Spidey. A small hint to look for when the movie comes out, at the end when peter is swinging past the building in his new black suit, as he come in close to the camera, you can see something in his white eyes on his suit, which I'm told will look like a outline of SP4's villian, yelp, you know who."
