Rainbow Coalition Man?
Sounds a little like Electro, a lot of people speculated SandMan and I thought he'd make a great Scorpion. If they are doing a Sinister Six type thing that would be cool. I don't think Sandman or many others would be considered enough to carry a movie by themselves. Sorry, meant Chameleon possibly?

It's a damn shame that Raimi probably won't use Venom, the coolest Spider-Man villain ever, in his final Spider-Man film. Or even Carnage...Something Symbiote!

Videoman? :lol
That would rule. Would almost be as cool as having Swarm. :lol :lol

I'm a little pissed too that Raimi won't touch the Venom saga. We'll probably end up with some hack doing it and fucking the entire thing up.
Three Spiderman movies and no Venom? That's just wrong. I'd love to see Raimi handle a Spiderman/Venom/Carnage movie. But how the hell would he keep it PG-13? :lol

will totally Facebook friend you! *giggle* *LOL*
Chameleon, Electro, Sandman....that's all I got. Most likely he's playing Electro though.
If Larry David were in Spiderman 3, maybe I'd actually like the movie this time.
This sounds like somebody's dream. Even without doing origin stories and whatnot, doing a proper buildup and giving each of the 6 baddies something close to resembling adequate screentime would take a 3 hour movie.
And the Vulture? Does ANYONE like the Vulture? Well, if Larry David is in the movie, every time he's onscreen they should play Curb Your Enthusiasm music.

Imagine that they scrapped the Joker/Two-Face storyline for the new Nolan Batman movies, and start a new plot thread involving The Ventriloquist, Mad Hatter, and Clock King. "Sorry we can't give you want you want, but we'll give you a lot of what you don't want!"
I really have no idea what the point of Larry David would be. He really doesn't have a threatening voice, and wouldn't bring much to the role other than a vaguely recognizable face.

May I ask why everyone is so convinced that if Larry David is in fact signed on to 3, he must be playing a supervillain character?

Sandman in Spider-Man 3.... Do New York got any sands in that state? What is his origin (Sandman) & how did he comes to life in the comic books?

Venom is undoubtedly my favorite Marvel character out there, and as much as I'de kill to see Venom in the final installment of Raimi's Spidey trilogy, I do understand why hes not touching it. Raimi thus far has taken the "realistic" approach to Spiderman, with the story foucsing mostly on Peter Parker as a human being, with all the trials and tribulations one would go through trying to juggle such tremendous power, protecting the ones they love, and trying to live a normal life all at the same time.
First off, to correctly portray Venom's story and his uncontrollable hate for Spiderman he would almost have to be the ONLY Villan, which would destroy all they've set up thus far. Also, symbiotic alien parasites really don't fit well within Raimi's interpreation of the Spiderman universe. Even if they heavily altered Venom's origin to make it fit, it would still be pushing it, and seem out of place most likey. And considering how nitpicky Marvel fans have been about the inconsistencies between minorr Marvel characters in films and their comicbook personas, i'm sure Raimi doing such with one of Marvel's biggest characters would cause a HUGE backlash. Eddie Brock's brief Cameo in the original is probably the closest we get to Venom in a Raimi directed Spiderman.
Prediction: Spiderman 3 will end with a teasing of Venom's coming...

there was no setup for two face was there?
Perhaps he will play Peter's long lost uncle, who shows up when Parker is feeling down to give an ironic, cornball speech about "what it means to be a hero" even though he doesn't know a thing about what's going on with Spider Man. Then he will try to molest a dog in the bathroom.

larry david would be the perfect vulture.
Raimi doesn't really think Venom is all that great, and wants to show more classic villains before even touching that overrated bit of XTREME 90s trash that is Venom.
There is talks that he might stay on after Spidey 3, and I got to think that that's when he might tackle Venom, if only for fans.
