Spider-Man II (or III!)

[SpecialEd]

The only problem with Venom is that is there a crap load of explaining to do about his costume...


First you'd have to explain the whole Secret Wars saga that involves the whole marvel universe... especially avengers like Capt America and Iron Man... and how spider man original costume was destroyed and how he made a new black costume out of alien materials....

and then years later... have a whole battle scene where he fights the symbiote black costume... then have Eddie Brock finally merge with the weakened costume to form Venom...

and then to throw Carnage into the picture (which happens like 7-8 years after venom) would just be too much for a movie.

Venom is a relatively new character in the world of spiderman (late 80s)... i would much rather see classic bad guys like Doc Oct or the Lizard or the Vulture... the hobgoblin would be easier since his story is related to the green goblin.

Exactly. Too much story to cover to bring Venom into the movies. Although, admittedly, it would be pretty cool to see the CG effects to do Venom on screen.

Anyone know of a website that list's most if not all of Spidey's enemies with pictures and bios?

I agree about the Harry becoming Green Goblin and introducing Hobgoblin ideas. They seem like probable ways for the story to go. But don't you think today's audiences would get a bit tired of goblins? Wouldn't the movie be ridiculed for living off of the first movie's money-making teet? I know I'm not too hot about going to see another goblin fighting Spidey.

I did hear about the Doc Ock/Lizard idea. I think this could be a pretty good movie. Seems to be folling the Batman line though, first one villian, now 2 (with one of the 2 being ugly and overweight).

as for my casting call
Kurt Conners (Lizard): William H. Macy
Doctor Otto Octavius (Doc Ock): Philip Seymour Hoffman (of Patch Adams fame) (perfect!!)
