Third film in the highly successful "Spider-Man" series sees several new villains and a new woman enter Peter Parker's life. With his secret now revealed to both Mary Jane and Harry, Peter must face the consequences of his actions and his new life together with Mary Jane as they finally form a relationship. Yet their newfound open display of love has yielded some unfortunate results, not the least of which is Peter's upset boss determined to make his life hell for causing his son emotional distress. Not helping is a young investigative reporter named Eddie Brock who Jameson has hired to find out why Mary Jane dumped his son for Peter - what's Parker's secrets? At the same time an escaped prisoner hiding out on a remote beach is caught in a dreadful accident and finds himself turned into a shape-shifting sand creature. Peter's investigations into the past of this 'Sandman' brings him in contact with two very different things that will inevitably alter his life. The first a young woman named Gwen Stacy, daughter of the city's new police chief who is developing a soft spot for Peter. The other, a black substance from an accident scene which 'merges' with Peter's costume and gives him new found abilities. Things come to a head however when Harry Osborn, determined to take revenge against Peter for his father's death and now equipped with what he needs to pull it off, teams with The Sandman in a new variation of his father's Green Goblin guise and causes mayhem. In the ensuing chaos lives are lost, including people very close to Peter, whilst the black substance covering his suit separates from him and merges with a distraught Brock to form something else entirely - a creature unlike anything he's ever faced. A 'Venom' that he may not be able to stop.

Looks good. I'm anxiously awaiting this one. We'll have the Hobgoblin, Gwen Stacy, Eddie Brock, AND Venom all in one movie, along with Spiderman's black costume. This should be GREAT.
I think Gwen Stacy will be the one who dies, along with Harry. I'm betting he will be Hobgoblin. I could've sworn that in the comics, he WAS Hobgoblin for awhile, and then someone else took it over.
I think it will be good, but I' think there might be too many chef's in the kitchen, that is to say too many villans and plot lines. I am worried they might not do Venom justice.
I don't remember it being Harry... but, I didn't read EVERY comic book. So, I don't know. But, I wouldn't be surprised to find that it's him. He's got vengence on his mind... and his dad's 'stuff'

In the comics and presumable the movie Venom is Eddie Brock. Harry Osbourne was Green Goblin II after Spidey killed his dad, the first GG. They never revealed the true identity of Hobgoblin, but he did find GG's old hideouts and used all of his old equipment to fight Spidey.
Oh, totally. The movies do a good job, but they have to cut corners due to time constraints. Hell, in the comics Peter made his webbing, it was natural.
I just think if they're going to do Venom, they need to do it right. But you also have Sandman AND Green Goblin II? Not to mention the Gwen Stacey love triangle? Man.
