Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with a big big break in SPIDER-MAN 3 casting. Over at The Hollywood Reporter they've broken the announcement from Sony that Sam Raimi has cast Thomas Hayden Church as the villain for SPIDER-MAN 3!!!
The villain hasn't been announced yet, but I've heard some pretty strong whispers that it'll be Sandman, but I'm not 100% on that. I love the idea of casting Church now... it falls into the strong, non-star character actor casting of the previous Spidey flicks, but who could he be? He wouldn't make a bad Sandman if that's who's in the movie... Hobgoblin, perhaps? Remember, Hobgoblin wasn't Harry Osborne, Harry later went on to be the next Green Goblin... Surely they wouldn't go with something as cool as Kraven, would they? Mysterio? Doesn't seem like a good fit for Mysterio. What about Eddie Brock? The Venom rumors won't die, but Raimi has said many times that he's not a fan of Venom, so unless Avi is twisting his arm in order to get the huge Venom fanbase frothing at the mouth, then I'd rule that one out. What do you folks think?

Now who would have guessed that

 

[ToxicAdam]

He will always be the "dumb mechanic" on Wings to me.

(and also the part of Wings)

 

[Templar Wizard]

he would make a good hobgoblin i guess, nice rubber face.
but of course, we dont know who he would be...

 

[Willco]

I think he has the voice for the Hobgoblin. I dunno about Sandman.

BUT IN RAIMI I TRUST!

So far, in the past several weeks we've heard Hobgoblin, Sandman, Black Cat, Vulture and probably something else I forgot.

That's a lot of villains!

... SINISTER SIX OMG?

Spoilers for recent issues of Ultimate Spiderman below.

Spoiler

In recent issues of Ultimate Spiderman, Harry Osborn is turning into the Hobgoblin so I would imagine 2 villains in the flick. Harry as Hobgoblin and Church as Sandman or some other villain.

You know what'd be even better? The Sinister Twelve.

Seriously.

that takes us away from the "s" theme. Now the Sinister Seven works... come on think like a Marvel employee!

 

[Iceman]

If no fan of venom, Raimi is.. falling, trust will be.

Somone hasn't been reading Marvel Knights Spider-Man. Though I really can't blame that someone, to be fair.

Street Fighter 3rd Strike character named Twelve. Real hard to play as.

Sorry, I've just been a SF3rd Strike junkie for the past month. Don't mind me.
