Sam Raimi on Spiderman

For someone who was so unsure about returning to direct Spider-Man 4, that doesn’t stop Sam Raimi from talking about the possibilities. The Evil Dead director told MTV that he’s already started brainstorming about possible villains for part 4.

“I would love to see Electro, Vulture, maybe the Sinister Six as a team,” he said.

Let’s just hope that he doesn’t include them all, because the last film was stuffy enough with three bad guys. In May we wrote up a lengthy bit on what villians could be included in the further adventures of Peter Parker.  Spider-Man 3 has made over $879 million worldwide so far and climbing.

    I was hoping for Lizard and Mysterio.Oh well this id good news anyway that he’s considering Spiderman 4.

  2. Gravatar

    ah man, i want to see the lizard

  3. Gravatar

    I know what you mean.I already beginning to feel disappointed.Oh well nothing’s for sure.Let’s all cross our fingers.

    they should of had a movie devoted to venom hes the coolest character imo

    “Sam Raimi talks Spider-Man 4 Villains”

    My vote goes for Spider-Man / Peter Parker fighting and killing the venemous Spider-Man / emo Peter Parker from Spider-Man 3, like the Clark Kent / evil Superman battle in Superman III. That would bring some satisfaction and make me feel the money I spent on Spider-Man 3 wasn’t entirely wasted.

  6. Gravatar

    Please, no more. I blame Lee and Janet Batchler for this (writers for Batman Forever). That’s when the whole multi-villain thing became popular in Hollywood. Sure, it made the marketing guys happy, but don’t they realise that for every new character you cram into a movie, you’re losing that much more character development for everyone else?

  7. Gravatar

    I hope they do 6 spiderman movies.I just can’t get enough.

    Logical progression would suggest “The Lizard” and “Carnage.” The problem is you probably wouldn’t want to do both in the same movie. Have part 4 be “The Lizard” and get into that storyline a bit. Then have part 5 (yeah, thinking ahead here) be “Carnage.” I say that because these films seem to like following a general story arc. They at least set up the possibility for this in “Spider Man 3.”

    I can’t even imagine the “Vulture” looking good on film. To me, he was a silly character in the comics. (I suppose you could argue the same about Doc Ock, but, you know, still…) “Electro” might not be a bad idea, but “Mysterio” ?? I don’t know. I think you have to at least keep some level of reality working. Even “Sandman” was really stretching it for me. “Hobgoblin” — well, I think we’ve had enough of goblins by now.

  9. Gravatar

    How can he have the Sinister Six if he killed of Doc Ok?

  10. Gravatar

    to ron I think Doctor Octavius will come back I don’t think he died after Spiderman and Mary Jane swung away on the web I think he came back up to the surface I think they want you to think that he died but he really didn’t.

  11. Gravatar

    In spiderman 3 venom came to late in the movie and died to quickly, so spiderman 4 should be about carnage and lizard, or at least find a way so that venom can come back so that it would be harder for spiderman to defeat both venom and carnage.

  12. Gravatar

    It won’t be the Sinister Six because…

    1- Dr. Oc. Died. For some of you who think he will come back, look at 2 & 3.

    2- Having six villains would make the movie 6 hours, or completely confusing. For those of you who think more villains is better, read 3.

    3- Sandman is in the Sinister Six and at the end of S3, Sandman and Spiderman weren’t enemies, so then he wouldn’t fight Spiderman.

  13. Gravatar

    I think that if carnage was in spiderman 4 and he was stronger than spiderman or venom, venom should come back and venom and spiderman would have to work together to destroy carnage like in the comics. But since all of the defeats in the past movies , i dont think they should try to have a sinister six.

  14. Gravatar

    i think this is kinda stupid most of the main characters from the comics have been killed the characters i think can keep this going is either the lizard or
    carnage.

  15. Gravatar

    My suggestions for Spidey 4 with Raimi, McGuire, and Dunst:

    1. First of all, it’s finally time for the culmination of personal growth. Make sure that for most, if not all, of the film, Spiderman is good, confident, and respected. No more girl problems or self doubt. Those things were totally important to the story up until now, I agree, but it’s time to move on.

    2. The Lizard. It’s time. It’s the perfect time.

    3. Have J.J. Jameson advertise a reward for the capture and identity of both Spidey and the Lizard.

    4. Enter Kraven the Hunter with a minor role by Calypso to tie together some Lizard and Kraven storylines.

    5. Peter Parker marries Mary Jane. Kraven shows up at the reception and exposes and captures Parker (who fights Kraven unmasked in front of everyone).

    6. Let some other director bring back Carnage and 20 other characters to ruin the whole series like Batman Forever. That way, I can still enjoy my four Raimi movies on DVD without lack of closure. It’s really stupid to make a movie series so open-ended. End on a high note before it’s Forever stale.

  16. Gravatar

    For the fourth film, Lizard and Carnage all the way! If possible, in a film after the fourth, MAYBE even set up the symbiote line consisting of Agony, Phage, Riot, Lasher, Scream, and maybe even Toxin and Hybrid. Also, maybe Sandman could reprise his role in the fourth film, and we can see what happens to his daughter. Oh, and Doppelganger could be interesting…

  17. Gravatar

    The Best Villans would be: -Carnage and Lizard

    Also:

    Black Cat… She is the one that will ruin Peter and MJ’s relationship and help spiderman cure Dr. Connors from beeing the Lizard.

    Venom… If spiderman survived from beeing hit from a bomb in the first movie, then so can Venom… he will want to kill spiderman… but then when Carnage apears they will both side against him

  18. Gravatar

    Joey venom couldn’t have survived because he was vaporized just like the old goblin did to the board members in spiderman 1. you’ll see what I mean when the dvd of spiderman 3 comes out just slow-motion it and you’ll see the bones getting distroyed.

    I think that Carnage will totally be in the 4th movie because Dr. Conner had a sample of Venom…… and besides I thought that Carnage came from Venom also if they put in the Lizard and Craven the Hunter it would be a great movie, not Mysterio.

  19. Gravatar

    Yes you may be right, but having a movie with Carnage and without Venom would be very bad…

    And for those who want the sinister six:

    -sandman belongs to the sinister six, he wouldn’t fight spiderman
    -Doc Ock is dead
    -Green Goblin is dead, both of them

    How is he going to make the sinister six???

    -Vulture
    -Electro
    -Scorpion
    -Lizard
    -Schoker
    -Rhino
    -Carnage
    -Wolfman
    -Kraven the Hunter
    -Mysterio
    -…

    Sam has so many villans to pick from, how can he not have ideas???

  20. Gravatar

    Stop it you guys! Spiderman 4 should be about the lizard because people have been waiting,and because he would be interesting to see like the other characters.But what about carnage? I mean DR. conners has the alien symboite. Also in the comics, spidermans DNA was mixed with the lizard to creat the carnage symboite so it could find Cletus Kassady.

  21. Gravatar

    Well maybe how did the symboite get out? I need a moment for a answer.

  22. Gravatar

    Mabye it might be carnage in it because when the lizard transforms he goes mad crashing into things. He might of crashed into the symbonites jar……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

  23. Gravatar

    I still say that a movie with Carnage and without Venom would not make sense…

    Venom and Carnage hate each other and spiderman and venom team up to beat carnage…. so if carnage will enter in spiderman… it would be stupid…

    Sam raimi shouldn’t have maid Venom die…

  24. Gravatar

    I know what you mean joey venom died to early so i think that carnage would be stupid….. but your forgeting that spiderman transforms inti a big spider you know with 8 legs and every think.

    That would make things interseting transformed spidey vs the lizard and carnage and kraven wouldn’t it? :( ?

  25. Gravatar

    This may seem a little out there, but when you think about it, it is possible. Dr Conners could be working on the serum that makes him the lizard but not actually become the lizard yet. Instead he could test it on the piece of the symbiote he has and since the serum causes regeneration, hence connors use for it for his arm, the serum could make the venom symbiote generate a new one aka carnage. then have what’s left of the venom symbiote find some kind of remains of eddie. We’ve seen the symbiote repair his body before when harry hit him with the bladed pumpkin things. in the end venom could team with spiderman and help defeat carnage. both symbiote could be killed off for good and this would lead to the lizard in a 5th movie.

  26. Gravatar

    Sorry, I just want to see Venom again, he is my favorite character in Marvel comics and I think anyone who is not Eddie Brock is not venom when combined with the symbiote. All they have to say is Topher Grace is comming back and I’ll be in the theatres first day it comes out.

  27. Gravatar

    People come on, i want Venom back. Actually, i’m an incredible fanboy. But i happen to know that Venom isnt gonna come back! For more than 1 reason.
    1) The reason that Venom had so little screentime, looked crappy, etc., was because Sam Raimi didnt like Venom in the first place! He really didnt wanna put Venom in it, but the Venom fanboys pretty much forced him him into it, through the producers, screenwriters, etc., so he killed him off
    2) I believe that Venom deserves a full movie as much as the next guy, but theyre not gonna bring him back because he was already in a movie, and they think it’s stupid to put him in two movies.
    3) As i already said, he’s dead. He’s not gonna come back, and good old Raimi made sure of that by blasting him to smithereens. So get over it.

    So, i think Lizard and Carnage is gonna be in it, ’cause Lizard kinda has to be, and Venom’s a waste if theyr not gonna have Carnage.

  28. Gravatar

    Wayne you are right but if it was venom in a new movie it would be weird to to bring him back like the explosion was a teleportation device!!!

  29. Gravatar

    but wat if mysterio did already come back and did give harry a teleportation device as a bomb even before all of this happened!I kno it sounds weird but i think thats wat happened and venom is going 2 come back + lizard and carnage and then thu sinister six will begin…

  30. Gravatar

    no no no no no no no no no

  31. Gravatar

    I think Giovanni Ribisi would make a good Carnage…

    Hey… did anyone see this… where it sais: “who are the villans for spider-man 4?”

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0948470/faq

    this means only one guy… Venom

  32. Gravatar

    Hey i heard thomas haden church would be the carnage guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  33. Gravatar

    hey, this is for the fanboys who still believe that Venom can possibly come back. as much as i hate it, i have proof that Venom’s dead, he’s a frikin skeleton, and unless they make some kind of out-of-the-way, cock-and-bull way for him to come back, he ain’t!

    http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s226/Antoniodab/frm00005.jpg

    Now, as you can clearly see, unless you’re blind, it’s a skeleton, plus it looks like the bones are out of joint, cuz it looks at least 8′ tall, and Eddie wasn’t anywhere near that tall!

  34. Gravatar

    hey people, don’t forget that the symbiote has the power to regenerate, what if some of the symbiote was still alive and it would wrap around eddie’s remains and revive him???

  35. Gravatar

    wow you are right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  36. Gravatar

    My 4 villians would be LIZARD,CARNAGE,VENOM,HOBGOBLIN.

  37. Gravatar

    directors need to learn… NEVER EVER kill the bad guy.. thats what ruined the orginal batman series. Joker rules and should never be killed so he can show up at inopertune times and kick the bat while he’s down… as in they killed venom.. bastards he could have been so much cooler. but to all of you who say ock is dead… please he was floating in the water not dead… i say bring him back he is the collest villian to grace the big screen… he kicked spideys ass and i lover every second of it, give him amnesa or something and bring him back… remember doc ock and the lizard were friends… can you imagine.. :) drolls a little… doc ock and the lizard vs spiderman and sandman.. i would pay though the nose to watch that. then in the next movie make venom and carnage fight spiderman and ???

  38. Gravatar

    Green Goblin dosent die in the comics, and doesnt he kill Gwen Stacy or some other love of Peters? tbh they should of stayed true the comics. Vemon and Carnage would be awesome. Not a big fan of the lizard myself.

  39. Gravatar

    you know spiderman fighting the hob goblin and at the same time
    trying to save lizard man and fighting carnage, with the sandman on spiderman’s side wouldn’t be to bad of a movie to watch.
    ……and also totally off topic i just found out that there going to make batman 2 “The Black Night” with the joker in it and the same batman. (: which isnt so bad…….

    sorry don’t know what happened up there

  43. Gravatar

    I saw a trailer of spiderman 4 with a guy with orange, bushy, hair! It is carnage! The guy is thomas haden church! The one in spiderman 3 who is sandman! IDK if its wrong, but im sure its right if you watch it! Also, if sandman was helping spiderman.. who would be carnage? I really want carnage and the lizard. But venom is okay because he can revive the hosts body. Well thats what I think will happen in spiderman 4.

    Please talk back!

  44. Gravatar

    Sorry guys, but they cant just kill the villains. Doc Ock and Venom are still “alive”. Theyll’be back; its just a movie, they can do what they want. Maybe it looked like they died, but they just didn’t. OR if they really “killed” them, theyre just a bunch of idiots.

  45. Gravatar

    I think for the 4th movie lizard and vulture will make a good movie. Peter and MJ get married at the begining. Vulture gets created by a poison at the potions lab and Lizard might be doctor conners working on a lizard antidote. I think spider man should be unmasked on this movie for the whole city and so peter hides and so no more spider man and puts it in the trash. That would be a great movie if you do that and always make it M15+.

  46. Gravatar

    okay no….. hey if any of u guys have spiderman 3 the game on xbox 360 u can be new goblin, not at the sand man level but at free run u know to fight bad guys and race and everything. u can get at the pause menu under acheivments

  47. Gravatar

    I think the next one should have the Sandman, the Lizard, the Black Cat, and Carnage. The plot should be about Spider-man torn between Mary Jane and the Black Cat’s secret identity, Felicia Hardy.

  48. Gravatar

    actually that woudn’t be so bad MJ and Peter can be getting married and Carnage starts destruction and when spiderman gets there he meets Black Cat I like it and him and black cat can fight the Lizard together.

  49. Gravatar

    I think that since in the end of spider man 3 when Sandman told Peter the truth,that-that spider man should team up and try to beat Carnage.But,maybe they should add Lizard,wich Dr.Conner turns in to.But I wonder how or who becomes the red Venom,Carnage.

  50. Gravatar

    green goblin should have lived!!!

  51. Gravatar

    just think of how cheesy it wud be if venom and spider man were fighting together. Venom killed his best friend. too make tem friends wud be really stupid.

  52. Gravatar

    tell me what villens wiil b email me or go to my site i could use the fame

  53. Gravatar

    I agree with Johnson.I mean,he is right.

  54. Gravatar

    With the Lizard and Carnage being the villians here’s I how I can picture things playing out. Spiderman originally puts Cassidy behind bars which gives him a personal hatred from him. Introduce Farley Stillwell since Connors is a physicist in the movie, Stillwell would learn how the symbiote encorporates genes from hosts making the creation of the scorpion possible for a subsequent film.

    Cassidy escapes and causes an accident in the lab, and bonds to the other piece of the symbiote that was in Connors custody in part 3. Connors wakes up to find his arm regrown, and since he wanted to have his arm back more than anything else he doesn’t question it. Later on, turning into the Lizard. In the comics spiderman used the lab notes to make an antecdote reversing the mutation. And figure out a way to trap carnage and seperate his symbiote from him.

    They should have him using his Intellect more often like in the comics.

  55. Gravatar

    I think they should put the lizar, the scorpion dude, and carnage in spidy 4 then bring back venom cause I love venom and have some involvement with mysterio saving venom and saving doc ock for the fith movie and havingthe sinister six in the sixth movie

  56. Gravatar

    Who agrees with me?

  57. Gravatar

    i agree with tatum

  58. Gravatar

    Thanks Marko. I sort of-ah,never mind,let me think about it.

  59. Gravatar

    Thanks Marko. I sort of-ah,never mind,let me think about it.Oh,thanks Marko again.

  60. Gravatar

    I remember,I think that Mysterio should come and tries to turn into Carnage,I mean venom,and ends up red,wait a minute,am I wrong,and then venom,no wait,let me think again,and then,no,ah,let me think about it,Im really confused.

  61. Gravatar

    I got a new website!Click on my name wich has a blue line under it.

  62. Gravatar

    no mysterio dosent realy do anything with Carnage or Venom u see there was a peice of Venom in doctor connor’s lab, he goes berserk as the Lizard and nocks over the canister holding Carnage and it ecapes and finds a new host which i forget his name (not a big fan of carnage

  63. Gravatar

    I think Marko is right,did you get all that information from comic books are what,Marko?

  64. Gravatar

    I think that the villains should be Venom, Carnage and the Lizard. Venom and Carnage would make a brilliant partnership. I chose the Lizard also because it would make life even more difficult for spiderman.

    I think that spiderman 3 was very action packed and i think that spiderman 4 should be the same.

  65. Gravatar

    sorry Tatum i forget what comic book it was in but all i know is that mystirio and carnage have never ever met at any time, and that in the comics venom actually meets some one in prison, and gives that onguys name i cant remember and carnage is born, but they screwed it up when they killed venom. and mysterio was a filmer and he made a car explode or something like that and spiderman throws him in prison where he becomes mysterio. i mean thats what i think it is?

  66. Gravatar

    I wants to see Lizard, Carnage, Hobgoblin, Mysterio, Electro, Shocker, the return of Venom, the return of Sandman, the return of Dock Ock (as Lady Octopus), Demogoblin, Doppelganger and Grey Goblin. I love Spider-Man comics, tv-series, movies and everything! I wants to see Gwen Stacy as Peter’s girlfriend and The Cat, Spider-Woman, Firestar and Iceman. I WANTS the movie to be the longest yet, because the movie will came in 2009… I’m looking forward to the movie come on theater in Norway. I’m coming from Norway, and I’m ten years old, and can speak a little english. Who is Doppelganger? I wanna know who it is!!! I saw at the Wikipedia Spider-Man Villains that that is unknown. I don’t know who Grey Goblin is. I saw in Spider-Man 3 when Harry chosen mask. He wanted the little bit “MYSTERIOUS” mask, but he had a choice of “Mysterious”, “Grey”, “Hob” or “Demo”-like Goblin. Okay, I saw the mask of Grey Goblin. In much of the comics Peter’s girlfriend is Gwen Stacy. I mean Mary Jane will be Peter’s girlfriend in Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2.1 and Spider-Man 3, and Gwen will be Peter’s girlfriend in Spider 4 Man, Spider-Man 5 and Spider-Man VI. Can you tell us which ideas of which villains it is in the Spider-Man V.
    The villains it is in the films: Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, The New Green Goblin, Sandman, Venom and the villains in Spider-Man IV, V and VI.

  67. Gravatar

    I thought it was gonna be shocker oh man

  68. Gravatar

    The villains yet (in the movies): Green Goblin/Norman Osborn, Doctor Octopus (Dock Ock)/Dr. Otto Octavius, The New Green Goblin/Harold “Harry” Osborn, Sandman/William Baker (Flint Marko), Venom/Edward Allan Charles “Eddie” Brock, Lizard/Dr. Curtis Connors, Electro/Maxwell Dillon, Hydro-Man/Morris Bench, Mysterio/Quentin Beck, Carnage/Cletus Kasady, Chameleon/Dmitry Smerdyakov, Shocker/Herman Schultz, Vulture/Adrian Toomes, Hobgoblin/Roderick Kingsley and Rhino/Aleksei Mikhailovich Sytsevich. Yes, Shocker will be in the Spider-Man 4 I think, Roem. Shocker is my favorite villain, and I know Shocker will come. I saw it on the Wikipedia “Herman Schultz”.

  69. Gravatar

    Now I know who Grey Goblin is, it is Gabriel Stacy… How many villains will it be, you think, Roem? I think 8, 9 or 10. I wanna see Ben Kingsley as Vulture in Spider-Man 4. I will LOOOOVEE to see JIM CARREY as CARNAGE!!!!!!! Go to the page; www.youtube.com and search for “Jim Carrey as carnage anyone?”. Jim Carrey fits SO well to be Carnage in Spider-Man 4. I love the story. Dr. Connors took care of some symbiote i SM 3 he resurged the symbiote and so he go to sleep. At night, a man called Cletus Kasady escaped from the police, and the police was after him. And then he running in to some place, it was in Dr. Connors laboratory. And then he broken a glass, and in that glass it was the symbiote, red and more cooler than ever! It hanged on to Cletus, and then he was the Carnage! Then Carnage attacked the police and go away.

    I think four villians are too many to fit in one film unless Sam is planning to make this one 3 hours or longer. Someone commented that Venom should’ve been the sole focus of the film. Throughout the movie all the things that transpired between Brock and Parker led up to him becoming Venom; the symbiote just passed on the powers of spiderman to him.

    I like the fact that Carnage is one of the villians, and ever since they introduced Doc Connors I’ll bet the fans were wondering when and how they’ll make him the Lizard.

  72. Gravatar

    I think that Carnage and Lizard should be in Spider-man 4>

  73. Gravatar

    i agree but i also think that blackcat would be a good incluion in it too.

  74. Gravatar

    I love all the comments, I’m not as well versed in the history of spiderman. I just want there to be a forth. I must say that I was a little disappointed in the Spiderman 3. Are we definite on Spiderman 4 yet?

  75. Gravatar

    Let’s just have the lizard, and no one else. Is it too hard to have 1 villain nowadays? I think that spdrmn 1 and 2 were better than the last one

  76. Gravatar

    I think that Mysterio should be the boss in Spiderman 6!

  77. Gravatar

    Spiderman:Green Goblin
    Spiderman 2:Doc Ock
    Spiderman 3:New Goblin,Sandman,and Venom
    Spiderman 4:Lizard,Carnage,and Black Cat
    Spiderman 5:Don’t know yet.
    Spiderman 6:Scorpion and Mysterio

    That’s the villians I think should be in the Spiderman movie series.

  78. Gravatar

    tatum think of some one realy evil for spiderman 5

  79. Gravatar

    Okay, really simple. Really REALLY simple. And typical “Sam Raimi”. Peter is helping Connors out at the lab one night, studying the alien symbiote, considering whether to keep it or destroy it. Peter leaves, agreeing to talk about it later. Connors decides, “Hey, I’m going to try this new reptillian formula out!” (It was around somewhere in his lab). POOF! Arm grows back. BUT… He goes into tremors, starts screaming and thrashing around. During this violent transformation process into the Lizard, he knocks over the container with the symbiote in it, which shatters, allowing the symbiote to escape. Now you’ve got Lizard, and the symbiote on the loose. Scene change. Peter and MJ getting married at a chapel near ESU. Scene change. At the wedding reception, Kraven shows up, outs Peter as Spidey. They fight. Peter’s cut up. His blood drips between the floorboards, down into the dark cellar/basement/storeroom (Whatever) which just happens to be where the symbiote is ‘hiding’. Being a new material, the symbiote ‘bonds’ with the blood, turning… Crimson! Now you got a crimson symbiote, meanwhile, Pete defeats Kraven, and somehow has to deal with the ramifications of being outed. ((Btw, instead of relationship problems, the being outed part would make for the drama of Part 4’s story, and much more interesting for fans of current continuity, i.e., Civil War press confrence.)) Anywho, I’m sure Sam could find a MUCH better writer than me to figure out what happens between Connors and Peter and Carnage (Hell, you don’t even need another actor. Make a pure CGI Carnage, who exists only because of the blood. OH! Since movies are an alternate reality, make it so that because of Pete’s blood, the symbiote is now hungry for blood, hence the extremely violent tendencies of ‘Carnage’. AND why he’s going to be after Peter for MORE blood. Hey, it’s plausible. *Shrugs* Anyways, that’s what I’ve got. Actually wrote a fan fiction, 160 pages long, just after 3 was released in theatres, since I didn’t really think they’d seriously do a four. This was the main plot of it, and it worked for most of the people who’ve read it. I’m sure there’s people who’ve also thought it was stupid as well. Then again, you really can’t make Spidey-4 worse than 3. It’s all sunshine and rainbows from here on out!

  80. Gravatar

    Oh yeah, for those of you concerned about Character Development, this idea works out really great because, you really don’t need to develope anyone, except maybe Connors a little more. No actor needed for Carnage, Kraven takes like 2 minutes. (*Cut scene: Kraven the Hunter, on TV in JJJ’s office, doing a commercial for his ‘Survivalist’ TV Series in Austrailia. Kraven’s the worlds most famous Hunter. JJJ has one of his typical ‘epiphanies’ and gets Robbie to hire him to find and unmask Spidey.*) WOW! Kraven character developement done. Which would mean…??? We’d have close to two hours of movie that would make sense, be exciting and fun, and wouldn’t leave any unanswered questions. Oh, and if Raimi could PLEASE have one of the villians set up Gwen Stacy’s death, that would be GREAT!!! (She died in the comics. It was one of the MOST defining moments of Peter Parker’s life. How can you really call him Spider-Man if he hasn’t gone through that moment? I mean, REALLY???)

    I think Shocker or maybe Vulture would be good in Spiderman 5,probably both.

    Spiderman:Green Goblin
    Spiderman 2:Dock Ock
    Spiderman 3:New Goblin,Sandman,and Venom
    Spiderman 4:Lizard,Carnage,and Black Cat
    Spiderman 5:Vulture and Shocker
    Spiderman 6:Scorpion and Vulture

    Does anybody agree with that?

    I meant to change Vulture to Mysterio in Spiderman 6 and I meant to change Scorpion to Kraven. Rate 5 stars if you like my list with the changes. I want somebdy to rate mine!

    ALL VENOM FANS READ THESE 7TH THEORIES WRITEN IN THIS TEXT I THINK YOU REALY WILL LIKE THEM !VENOM LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!

    yeah it would bee cool to see lizzard and carnagee….but im shoure that venom has more fans around the world than aany other villians!!! besides i hawe readed a lot of posts about venom in sm4 it vould be sickn great!!!! venom is one of the most bigest chars in spidey and rami is an idi-ot because he let venom die so easely lol i hate him for that! alot of venom fans are saying this: vhen pete threw a bomb symbiote catchedit and just before explosion it vrapre around edie that could save him from the explosion that vat theory nr1
    second theory is that in the end f explosion if you listen carefully you hear somthing familliar with web slinging and venom had escaped and burning symbiote pieaces vuz just a destraction for spidey not to follow venom
    3 second theory leads to this yoll say wee all saw the skeleton yeah we did but it could be a flash efect you know like with photo cameras the flash light is so bright that you can see skeleton sometimes(mostly seen in cartoons lol) so he didnt die it wuz just a flash efect
    4th theory vhen symbiote bandes with its hoste it protects him like vhen hary stabbed peter and symbiote pushed the knife out so it protected eddie from big boom and this theory leads to 5th
    when peter and harry were fighting peter threw a bomb at him and it exploded wery close to him an just fcked his face and when pete threw it at vhenom he couldnt be vaporized makes no sence o yes the bomb he threw at venom vuz same that he threw at hary(already checked it) and knowing that simbyote inproves and protects the hoste he cant die cuz hary didnt makes no sence!!!
    6th venoms veaknes is sound not fire if u dont beleave me read some comics fire is carnages veaknes so he cant be dead!!!!
    7th its hollywood anything is posible i hope they bring venom back and he will be in sm4
    ooo here is another (but lame) theory eddy could be cloned(like in clone chronicles) and bond with simbiote again (that vitch is in doc conors lab and carnage spawns from venom!!!!! i hope i made my sef clear o n raimi u cant kil venom cuz u dont like symbiotes its stupid n lame!!!!

  87. Gravatar

    READ THIS TOO IM THINKING IT IS GOOD OR MBY GREAT:)

    RAIMI im telling you read it(scroll up) it makes some sence!!!! sm 4 would bee cool if carnage would gain alot of power and spiderman would be forced to jain with venom to stop him an with this there can be 3 endings
    1 venom sacrefites him self destroying carnage and saving spidey( IN THE END MY GREATEST ENEMY PROWED TO BEE MY GREATEST ALLY)
    2they kill carnage n eddy wants to get rid off the suit because he realizes that lines from sm3 (i know what it feels like the power it feels good but in the end you will lose yourself) and spidey helps eddy get rid of the suit then symbiote goes rampaging without its fawourite host like in sm3 n eddy with spidey somehow kills it
    3after dealing with carnage spidey has a choiche he can kill venom(because hes wery weak cuz he got ingured in the fight ) or let him live spidey says “who am i to judge anyone eawen if i hawe a great power, with great power comes great responsibility!!!” venom stands up they watch into each other eyes and swing away to oposite directions *snif* i just love happy ending when venom doesnt go BOOM lol
    tnx raimi i know you will consider my story(atleast i hope…..*thinking*)

    Benjamin Newman,there are only going to be 6 movies,I went to all the Spiderman websites.

  89. Gravatar

    i want there 2 be 6 movies coz they’re all so gr8…. but u want the finale 2 go out with a bang and he’s killed all the good villains off already… bar just a few. there’s all this talk of doc ock coming back, but remeber he turned 2 the good side b4 he died. i LOVE the idea of a venom/carnage showdown but i think save that 4 a l8r daymaybe sm5 or 6. i think in sm4 the main villain should be electro. they shud make up a storyline where he’s a friend of the sandman and he turns in2 electro somewow n tries 2 kill spidey bcoz he thinks spidey killed flint marco. then mysterio shud come in2 it and he and electro shud form an alliance - @ the end mysterio shud take over the staute of liberty just like in the Spider man 2 game. then in the final showdown sandman comes back and reveals the truth 2 electro and they both die dsaving the town from a disaster electro caused while spidey flees the scene of the final fight. u just know the lizard’s gonna b in it though, i don’t mind that. black cat shud be in it 2 n she n spidey can form like a superhero duo n go around the town fighting crime 2geva. shocker shud be in sm5

  90. Gravatar

    i don’t think vulture shud b in it @ all bcoz he’s too old and i don’t think he’d b much of a hit. nobody’s mentioned hammerhead that could bring more of a mafia style fling 2 it and he could have other supervillain cronies like shocker or scorpion (it’s just an idea) maybe rhino although not many people have suppotred the idea of him hitting the big screeen. PLEASE NOT KRAVEN THE HUNTER!!!

  91. Gravatar

    oh - Jameson could create the scorpion 2 try and kill spider man, but then it all goes wrong and scorpion jojns forces with another supervillain (i’m goigng2 keep hinting shocker 4 spider man 5) and then spider man has 2 save him, only 4 JJ 2 print a newspaper exploting him as being in alliance with the supervillains who attacked him!!!
    by the way -one way or another, venom HAS 2 come back, he didn’t have a big enough role in sm3 and he wasn’t like the old venom frm the comics or the ps1 game or the animated series. he needs a bigger role and he should join forces with carnage in sm6 maybe only 4 venom 2 join forcs with spidey and they both die - pretty much wat evry1 else has been saying. electro, mysterio and lizard 2 be the sm4 villains PLEASE!!!

    http://www.slashfilm.com/2007/05/06/spider-man-4-villains-revealed/

    i don’t know if its a link but check this website out anyway. it shows all the odds on which villains are most likely 2 be in the next movie
    lizard is favourite and electro also has a high percentage, which i’m pelased with. hydro man also has high odds but that wud be lame.

  93. Gravatar

    type “spider man 4″ in2 google and click on the second option. it shows u all the odds on all the villains being in sm4. apparentley lizard is favourite villain with 95 percent. electro is second with 73. unfortunately hydro man is third with 68 percent but i wudnt want 2 c him in a movie. the least popular is rhino with only nine percent!!!

  94. Gravatar

    Ok what about this:

    Bring doc ock back and him spiderman and the sandman team up vs venom carnage and the lizard

  95. Gravatar

    that’s an idea…. and they could have like this whole thing about doc ock struggling to maintain control of his tentacles, and in the end it could force him to kill himself or something…. or maybe not….

    but i liked the idea about devoting a whole film 2 just venom and carnage and in the end venom terams up with spider man… unless he l8r joins sm, doc ock and sandman, although 4 against 1 would b pretty stupid. either way venom has 2 come back and carnage needs 2 be in it 2. i just don’t think spider man 4 is the right time.

  96. Gravatar

    the above was 2 thesharkof98 by the way…

  97. Gravatar

    i dont c how he can have the sinister six - unless he made like 2 spin-off movies called the sinister six (he wud have 2 make it in2 2 movies otherwise it’d b 2 long.) but in that case, he needs 2 somehow magically bring doc ock back, and he’d have 2 make sandman evil again. also, in sm3, spidey nearly died facing sandman n venom by himself, until harry turned up and threw that bomb in sandman’s head. there’s no way he could face 6 villains alone. obviously they could bring in black cat, but they’d still need more. they’s have 2 do something crazy like bring harry back from the dead.

  98. Gravatar

    y does evry1 like vulture???? i 4 1 don’t want 2 c spidey beating up sum old man dressed up as a bird.

  99. Gravatar

    am u guys…sin six isnt going take place atleast in nearest future!!!
    sam raimi said himself that sm3 vith 3 vilians wuz wery hard to mushup n sandman wuz a big mess to create !!! so think about youre talking sinester six vould be wery i mean WERY hard to make! then again ewerything is posible in movie making:0 i still hope theyl bring venom back:)vnm greatest 4har ewer!!!!
    *caugh* carnage sux*caugh*…..

  100. Gravatar

    this is wat i think:

    1. Green Goblin
    2. Doc Ock
    3. Sandman, New Goblin and Venom
    4. Electro, Mysterio and Lizard
    5. Shocker, Scorpion (and 4 the third villain, either vulture or chameleon, or maybe both!!!)
    6. Venom and carnage. let’s finish it with a big symbiote showdown. possibly the surprise yet brief return of

  101. Gravatar

    that last 1 was supposed 2 end with doc ock

  102. Gravatar

    i sed ock in sm6 coz he’s a scientist and he could like help carnage n venom 2 create a symbiote army maybe??

  103. Gravatar

    or he could help spidey fight carnage and venom but die 4 real this time

  104. Gravatar

    by the way, i think harry osborn shud have become the hobgoblin in sm3, rather than becoming a new green goblin

  105. Gravatar

    you guys aren’t that bright no offence but venom got obliderated by the goblin frag and doc ock well…… he drowned didn’t you see the lights go out on his robotic tentecals he and venom are dead and there is nothing that you can say because well…… lets face it there dead!!! now i agree that carnage should be in the 4th movie i don’t care about the other villians, just carnage…… and not hob goblin because it would be the same as spidey 3!!

  106. Gravatar

    Movie, and comic logic. Unless you acctually see them die, they can not be clasified as dead. we say the goblin die in the first one we saw the new goblin die in the third one, we saw venom get real big and we saw brock get vaporized but the simbiont could still be alive. Also we only saw doc ock floating off never actually dead. besides directors and wrighters should realize in todays movies expecally comicbook movies it is bad form to kill off the bad guy. because if a person is popular, the more money is to be made off them, the longer that char is kept alive. they should have learned form the orginal Joker form batman. So popullar but then couldn’t do anything with him because he was dead..

  107. Gravatar

    ur wrong he is dead look closely his arms went off the lights
    went out that means he died. Oh and if brock got vaporizied
    why shouldn’t the simbiont get vaporized. The only piece that was left was the one that peter gave doc. conners and that turns into carnae and the lizard should also be in the 4th movie. If they ever make it.

  108. Gravatar

    and i do agree with u thesharkof98 they should have kept venom alive but NO! they chose to keep the sandman alive instead gosh

  109. Gravatar

    You guys are right about killing off villains. It seems that they always do it in these big movies: Joker, Penguin, Bullseye, Ras al Ghul, Goblin, Doc Oc and Venom. You can’t have a superhero comic last long if you kill all the interesting villains. In Batman they invented Arkham Asylum for that - a place to keep them. I don’t think Marvel has something like it.

    I think Kraven the Hunter would be righteous! With Lizard.

  110. Gravatar

    Actually, Dale, an interesting thing about Marvel… They’ve had tons of places like Arkham Asylum for many many years. Let’s see, for low level mugs in or around NY, the NY police, with the help of Tony Stark and the Avengers in general, are able to upgrade certain cells on Ryker’s Island (You know, the real prison from NY) to house low power level villanry. If that’s not enough, then you have the Raft, S.H.I.E.L.D. owned and operated prison also off the coast of New York, which houses medium to moderate powered super villains. It’s also housed a few heroes in it’s time. Well, that place is pretty decent (Ecept for the Spider-Man/Avengers “Breakout” event, of course.) If that’s not good enough, there’s always The Vault, buried deep underground in Colorado. Over the years, it’s held such notables as Erik Magnus Lenshner, a.k.a., Magneto, Victor Von Doom, a.k.a., Doctor Doom, Cletus Cassidy, a.k.a, Carnage, among many many others. Hell, the Maximum Carnage series occured only because Cassidy broke out from the vault when an ingenious - albeit insane - idea popped into his head; Bite his own tongue to start bleeding, so that the symbiote could be released! Well, there’s many many other places all over the Mighty Marvel World suited to house villains. If you want to talk logistics of killing off villains in movies, however, one thing you need to remember is, it’s Hollywood. Marvel has gone way beyond DC in one aspect of telling their stories online, in cartoons, and in movies: They’ve explained why they’re different. (DC’s never done that) Marvel’s even got a yearly handbook to help with understanding it. The Marvel Handbook of Alternate Universes. In the current continuity comics, the Earth there is designated as Earth 616. It’s the supposed ‘baseline’ universe. The Ultimate Universe is set in an alternate, parrallel universe where everything that’s happened, i.e., radioactive spider-bite, bombardment of cosmic rays while on a test shuttle trip, etc, happened more currently than the sixties, since the Ultimate Universe Earth apparently rotates a bit further from the sun. The cartoons are all various alternate universes, and the same goes for the movies. They may be very very similar to the comics, but when it comes right down to it, they’re not exact copies. As far as flat out killing characters, well, marvel hasn’t really killed off anyone in the spider-man series. Norman Osborn is alive and kicking in the comics… but guess what? He died, exactly the same way he died int he first movie. The Super Soldier program he was working on with Stromm, the chemical, gave him the ability to slowly regenerate his tissue over time. Hence, he could come back at any time in the movies for the same reason. Doc Ock? He floated away. Who’s to say his arms didn’t pick him up and carry him out of the water? That would be logical, considering they were pretty damn near sentient in the movie. And Venom. Well, let’s see. Comics, Eddie Brock isn’t venom anymore. There’s a new venom in town. Because? The Venom Symbiote rejected Brock when it realized he had cancer. Yup, that’s right, full fledged, terminal, inoperable cancel. Brocks as good as dead. (Think he may have died already, will have to catch up on latter ‘07 backissues). But meh, the point is, none of these badguys really died in the movies. The venom symbiote only needs a very small part of itself to reproduce. It feeds off of adrenaline. That’s why the first person it latched onto was parker, cause his adrenaline level was off the charts. Take that food source away after giving it a teeny taste, and of course it’s gonna be pissed and want revenge - as well as it’s snack back! Connors has the sample from it currently, which means in theory, they could make a new venom - even if it’s not Brock. Anyways, I’m wasted tired, and probably got a few things slightly off, so I’m gonna go crash. Have fun everyone, and until the Earth’s orbit moves away from the Sun and the world freezes to death in the blackness of space, Make Mine Marvel!

    hey Ashlock i agree but…… wooooow! how long did that take to wright. i’m kidding but i agree with you hey and thanks i didn’t how all the symbiotes came to be so thanks for that. and 1 question how many symbiotes do you think they will make just one more or………. ?

  112. Gravatar

    The ending of spider-man really left it open for venom to return, as he was almost totally engulfed in the symbiot when the explosion happend therefore he could quite easily have dissapeared quickley.

    Venom is too good a villian to kill off that quickley, and he was not in the movie for long therefore dissapointing a lot of fans

  113. Gravatar

    i think Harry osborn should be Hobgoblin and help peter fight villans. villans . spiderman…green goblin ..spiderman2… doc ock…. spiderman3…. venom,sandman, and new goblin/harry osborn…spiderman4………lizard,carnage,electro,and Hobgoblin/harry osborn…spiderman5……doc ock is back,norman osborn is revived and is gold goblin … and harry is Hobgoblin ultra max oscorp japan version…sm 6 should have harry as hobgoblin 360 oscorp nyc version 554.

  114. Gravatar

    Dr Octopus didn’t exactly die.

    Did anyone here spot the newspaper headline on the wall of Jameson’s office in Spider Man 3? If not dig the DVD out and have another look.

  115. Gravatar

    luw the idea about hobgoblin
    but i dont think venomcan be dead that easely but if it is end of him it just sucks ans it is one of most stupidest endings:(
    still hope sm4 will have carnage and i pray that they will hawe venom back

  116. Gravatar

    I Really think that their going to put CARNAGE and the LIZARD in the 4th movie (if they make it) because dr. connors still has some of venoms symbiote and he makes CARNAGE with the lizard DNA and venom, so i personly think that they are going to be in the next film.

  117. Gravatar

    luv that idea carnage and the lizard in the 4th movie
    would be awesome!

  118. Gravatar

    The sinister six would be good, but Spidey couldn’t take them all down by himself. He would need some sort of help. With Harry dead, and Venom destroyed. He doesn’t have much place left to turn to. The writers would have to come up with some ingenuous plan to bring back some of the characters, or ad some new heroes to give our friendly neighborhood Spiderman some help.
    Personally I would love to see the Rhino in the next film. Hopefully he wont be ruined like the Juggernaut in X-men 3, and the costume looks like it’s supposed to.

  119. Gravatar

    Really i think sm4 should have carnage,lizard and hob goblin since hob is the only one from the goblins left and can steal the green goblin technology.Carnage could be the piece given to dr connors and turned red from an experiment dropped onto the symbiote from connors turning into the lizard and going crazy.spidey should have sandman on his side and perhaps harry being saved by the goblin syrum.

  120. Gravatar

    i do think sandman should live in the fourth one but maybe quit in the fifth from hydro man if hes put in it.The characters i think should be

    4th carnage,lizard,hob goblin and good guys spidey,harry,sandman

    5th mysterio,shocker,hydroman good guys harry,spidey,sandman

    6th chameleon,electro,carnage good guys harry,spidey,black cat

  121. Gravatar

    i do have to say the spidey movies have been mad and i hope they will stay like that like the lord of the rings and pirates of the caribbean were.just to say i want the new goblin back because he’s such a mad character.

  122. Gravatar

    also he is a main character

  123. Gravatar

    perhaps the sinister six could be in the 6th one but no way i think the vampires should be put in it as the movies aren’t horror.well if carnage does die in the 4th i think maybe it should be electro,chameleon and scorpian for the 6th.no way rhino becuze hes just some guy in a rhino suit and charges.for the kingpin you’d need daredevil.man wolf would go with vampires,hammerhead goes withkingpin to say,vultures this old guy and kraven could go on the 4th if they put a 4th villain because he could hunt maybe the lizard and gives him a needle to stop acting crazy and serve carnage hob and kraven but gets turned back to the doctor half way through the movie and if turns to lizard again he joins spidey.

  124. Gravatar

    i was just reading something about the hob goblin and then i saw something about the demo goblin so from what it said perhaps they could do what it said to the goblin on the 4th.It was saying later the hob begs for more power and the demo gob whos a demon kinda goblin goes onto the hob with its power.so maybe they could do that half way through the 4th movie.

  125. Gravatar

    i agree with you completly daniel and i realy hate that they had to kill new goblin mabye they could have put in a comma or something and have him fight the hob goblin in the 4th movie ……… that would have been better than letting him die.

  126. Gravatar

    Ok, this is the idea, SM4 starts with the wedding don’t give that more than 4 minutes pleeease (forget about SANDMAN) venom makes a small appearence in the wedding disguised or something like that, from the top of some building, then you see a small scene showing Connor’s experimets with lizards (wait here comes the best part) the guy who provides the reptiles for Connors is Kraven who moves to New York and finds one of the Goblin’s unfinished formulas wich he takes to Connor who adds something Kraven kicks his butt stealing it turning himself in The Hunter and putting (while he escapes) Dr. C. on a lizard experiment chamber letting the piece of symbiote escape bum bang big fight and prelude for SM5 with Carnage and Venom

  127. Gravatar

    to short i mean i like it with how the characters are
    made but venom is infact dead unless you add
    the other symboit bad guys …………
    well that is a thought at least

  128. Gravatar

    venom is as good as dead becuze u saw what happened in sm3 but for harry he still can survive becuze he took the goblin syrum and i hear it can save u from stuff like that.also i think its just not right for harry to die.no way kraven takes the goblin stuff i think hob goblin shuld.i culd almost go with u about new goblin dying in the 4th one but hes my best character and also hes a main character whats the use of dying then.

  129. Gravatar

    also i really want shocker to be in one of them

  130. Gravatar

    yeah me too (shocker) that would be cool and hats all this about goblin not dieing i mean i kind of beleave that because did you see how fast he healed and……… hey couldnt harry’s father come back too…. as the hob goblin and they could go at it? that would be kind of cool and you can add carnage so it could be father vs son and carnage vs spidey.

  131. Gravatar

    i think the 4th movie should be something fasinating and the best part of all………venom shouldn’t have died so rami could a plot a role for him in the 4th movie….i see that cranger would be a perfect villan in addition to lizard they will team up and control the whole city but there must be a horrendous fight between them

  132. Gravatar

    there must be destruction on bridges or huge explosions to attract the audience

  133. Gravatar

    i think they will bring venom back becuse in the comics there was a power that him could turn invisable so when eddie jumped in the suit it got strong again and he turned invisable and survives

  134. Gravatar

    heay justin were did you haer that about
    venom turning invisible

  135. Gravatar

    symbiotes can turn invisable but u saw venom was holding the bomb there’s no way he survived.for the hob goblin it wouldn’t really make out really good with norman as him.Like the blades were really big and sharp from the glider and the syrum wouldn’t be able to help norman from something like that.the real guy for hob is jason but hob has to be in a movie even mysterio and shocker.
