Topher Grace to play Spidey villain
Friday, May 20th, 2005 - 11:20am
Wait...Thomas Haden Church is playing one villain...Topher's playing another...plus we have Harry Osborne. I have a bad feeling about this.

Yet another comic book movie franchise becomes the victim of Villian Creep. Next, we should hear that Joel Schumacher is directing and he has big changes in store!

May I just say that Topher Grace is just the cutest thing? He's adorable...look at that face...that's not the face of a villian...that's a Momma's angel, that face is.

I was sort of thinking that Topher could play The Lizard or the Chameleon. Thomas Haden Church would be an awesome Venom. Maybe we'll get a Venom/Carnage storyline for the third movie.

Or even a young iteration of the Vulture.

Gawd, no Carnage! He is a lame villain!
I could see THC as the Scorpion/Venom. I could see Topher Grace as Mysterio (my favourite villain) or as Hobgoblin.

If they were serious about wrapping up the Goblin storyline and calling it quits, then Hobgoblin would make sense. That would also likely mean no Venom since he really deserves his own movie.
Dunno about THC though. Kraven, maybe? Then we'd have two people hunting Spidey.

In the most recent Spiderman game, Mysterio was one of the first baddies you fought. Don't think it was voiced by Topher, but I found it interesting he'd be there... maybe sort of a preview for the next movie...
And, I'll agree, Mysterio pwnz j00. He's funny.

This is the guy who's gonna be the next Spidey villian? f*ck, what's after that? Snuggles? Hua Mei the goddamned panda baby?

Topher could easily play electro..
But... boy, oh boy would that be lame!
Hopefully it'll just be a cameo..
I could totally stand for some green goblin, hobgoblin, and man wolf storyline in spiderman 3. If they did a venom storyline or movie, I think Howie Long should play Eddie Brock.

Honestly, guys... when I say "Doc Ock" how many of you thought to yourself "Alfred Molina!"
But he wasn't horrible.
I think only time will tell. There are about a bazillion Spidey Villains, and there are quite a few he could do decently.

I was actually pretty stoked about Alfred Molina, but hey, I'm a nerd.
Also: Alfred Molina does not fit any dictionary definition of the word ''cute."

The Lizard is definitely out, seeing as we've already met Dr. Connors. Mysterio is probably the best bet, but I really can't remember any gangly, baby-faced Spidey villains. Shocker might make sense, what with him (Shocker) being pretty lame and losing constantly, but Grace is more weenie than lame...
I dunno, but I do trust Sam Raimie for Spiderman. I think he's earned that trust with the first two.

I'd like to add Sean Bean and Ed Harris to that list.

If he brings Laura Prepon (Donna) with him, I am in with whatever he plays..

Ok, that's even worse. Is there a spidey villain modelled after a worm or a snake or a skeleton?

I dunno... I could almost see Topher playing the Vulture... at least as the young Vulture... but then again, I don't really think there's enough to the vulture for that to work. And yes, the multiple villians thing really can't be pushed too far... but for some it could work. I don't remember the Rhino working solo very often, so him being part of a duo makes sense. I'm still thinking Mysterio would be the kewlest for a movie right now though.

....I'm going to toss my die and say Electro or Mysterio. Just about anything else would be ridiculous. Although Topher and Tobey can have a skinny-off.
Also, Kirsten Dunsty has been becoming astronomically less MJ-like with each movie. By Spiderman 4 she'll look like Jennifer Coolidge after she's been further uglied up. We need a replacement MJ, stat.

Jack Black as Rhino?
*pleaseohpleaseohplease*
I always thought of Rhino and Mysterio being kind of bumbling and lame, but funny.. so those two would cast perfectly as the roles..

I can NOT see Jack Black in Rhino. In fact, I'm having a hard time seeing him playing just any bad guy...

True, but Rhino bumbled because he was stupid. I mean, Jack's played some rather low IQ characters... but I don't know if he could go that low.

Hobgoblin would work.

True. He could potentially pull off Macendale(sp)

She has grossed me out for quite awhile, even back in the first movie. I've never understood why she is considered hot; she looks like someone who wasted potential hotness away by hard partying and excessive use of the bottle, leading to present situation of disgusting greyish mottled skin and drooping breasts.
What present situation? This thread is useless without the pics.

Ul, you don't WANT pics. That's the whole point. My dislike of Dunst left out... I REALLY don't see her as MJ. MJ always came off as a more strong in her own right kinda gal... and I just don't get that vibe from Dunst. I still say Donna from That 70's Show would have been amazing.
