Spiderman 3: Are they making a mistake!?!
As fellow Star Wars fans, Im sure you can agree on the importance of continuity when it comes to movies that we have a fondness for. I went to check out some info on the new Spiderman 3 movie that is due out in May 2007, and, low and behold, i was presented with this poster, which looks great. However, there is a continuity issue with this poster. If Spiderman is going to wear the black suit, as they say he is. That tells us two things. 1. the villain will be Venom, hence the black suit. and 2. Harry Osborn will not be returning as the Green Goblin. There are a couple of problems with this situation. First, Spiderman 2 ended with Harry finding the lair of his father, who was secretly the Green Goblin, the end of that movie suggested that he would be the main villain in the next film. Second, the suit itself is inaccurate. The Venom suit did not pattern itself after Spidey's red and blue suit. As you can see here, Spidey's costume looks way different than the one in the official poster.

If that's how they plan to do Spiderman 3, they will alienate many of the die-hard fans who have followed Spidey for years.

That poster I believe is of Spiderman and not Venom. It is just a grayscale photo for dramatic effect.

Although I did read that the new villain was Venom; perhaps the Green Goblin tie in will be for Harry Osborn to forgive Parker and help him as the Goblin.

Actually I thought that was the case too... until i read the caption underneath it at the official website. Now im concerned that they need to take the costume back to the drawing board, for continuity's sake. They didnt even stray that far for the Superman costume for the new film coming in the middle of this year.

I also read that SandMan will be a villain.

Maybe Gobbie and Venom will come together to take down Spiderman.

First the rumored baddies r sandman and venom, which sandman is confirmed. second the poster that is out is very very early stuff since they just started shoting. and 3rd the plan is for there to be 6 spidey movies so the hobgoblin, not green ;), will be in one of thoose for sure.

as for the costume in the pic. they haven't annouced venom as one of the baddies yet so to release a poster with the all black costume would give that away, if he is indeed the baddie in this one. u can also go 2 ign . com and go to the spiderman 3 area in the movies section for more info on whats rumored and confirmed

Venom, Sandman, and Green Goblin are all slated to appear in Spider-Man 3. Beyond that, I don't know. The fact that Spidey's black symbiote-suit isn't the same as it was in the comics isn't really surprising. Comic book movies always take liberties with the original story. Gwen Stacy is going to be in Spider-Man 3. That's definitely not in line with the comic story. I wonder if her fate in this third movie will mirror her fate in the comics? Time will tell.

I can't believe we gotta wait almost another year and a half for this movie.

I just want to say that originally the symbiote that bonded with spidey wasn't "Venom" it was only when it bonded with his colleague (i forget his name brook or something) that it became Venom.

That is just a poster. The coloring is for dramatic effect. Remember the ROTS poster with the red saber? It is like that. It is abstract and does not represent what is seen in the final edit of the film.

nope, just dramatic effect. Plus if it were the "actual black suit" we would have to send spidey into space. No one wants Mr. Raimi to become Peter jackson, so let us not complicate things. If I were you, I would worry about how they are bringing a girl to play Gwen Stacy. What?! Why?! Theiy said in the mini-documentaries that they had sort of merged MJ and Gwen in the movies. Well, aparently, since harry won't be hanging out any more due to his new "job" a new person has to emerge to create a love triangle.

I have also heard the rumors about Venom and Sandman. Remember 2 things: Eddie Brock (aka Venom and a photographer for the newspaper) was mentioned in passing in both previous Spiderman movies and MJ's hubby-not-to-be was an astronaut, giving many possibilities to bypass the Secret Wars (was that it? I think so) that brought the alien symbiotic suit back to earth and of course setting up a perfect vengeance scenario for the alien to be used as a weapon. As for the poster, I agree it looks like a dramatic greyscale, but then again, the website does say "black suit."

Hello spidey fans...

I have seen so many different costumes for spidey that I really think that a new version of his symbiote suit isn't that big of a deal. The continuity of comics isn't as precise as Star Wars, if anything is.

God Bless,

May the Force grant you abundance...
