wait....maybe i am just behind on my spider-man mythology, but I thought that shot of spiderman and the black stuff WAS the venom suit? Or am I very, very, confused?

Venom is the combination of the symbiote (black suit) and someone who hates Spider-Man.

Eddie Brock is Eddie Brock, and the suit is just a sentient suit, but when the two are combined they refer to themselves as "Venom". Later after Eddie's death in the comic the suit moved from host to host, which always referred to themselves as Venom to symbolize their hate for Spider-Man. But Spider-Man never referred to himself as Venom.

Excellent clarification.

Thank you!


I was so excited after watching this trailer I think I want to watch spidey 1 and 2 this weekend! Go spiderman go!
 
Parker?

Interesting that with all the shots of everyone else we only get one shot of Topher Grace (70s show kid) as Eddie Brock. They probably won't show Venom till the very end, but Eddie will certainly be scheming in the background. When they announced Grace would be Venom I had the same reaction as when they announced that kid from Pleasantville would be Spider-Man. I guess they are going to have Eddie be a mirror for Peter (same body type) instead of making him a complete opposite. Wonder if this is truely the last film. Dunst said it's her last, but the could always kill MJ. As long a Raimi and Miguire stay on that's all that matters. I really don't want it to go on forever... just one more. They teased us with Doc Conners, The Lizard, and I think they mentioned passing on some of Eddie Brocks photos in favor of Peter's work back in the first film. Wasn't there suposed to be another villian in this one besides Venom, Sandman, and Harry Osborne?
Spider-man 4 with Carnage as the villian... that might be a stretch. As long as the story telling is good I could really care less about the villians.

What was the audience's reaction when they realized what the tailer was for?
There weren't a whole lot of people in the theatre for the showing I was at, but the woman in front of me, who spent 20 minutes before the movie started discussing manga with her two sons, let out a pretty clear "oh, WOW" when the text appeared in the Spider-Man/PS3 font.

I'd say the reaction was pretty good.
 
i thought peter made the suit so how can it be sentient. and turn black. and was it 'sandman' explodgin out of that building. oh yeah what happened in spider man 2 movie.
who's carnage. creepy name

I thought the suit was an alien and stuffs like that but I don't follow the story like that...whatever works.


Bless

The suit is alien, it comes back with John Jameson when he returns from space, it finds it's way onto spiderman. The symbiote is a parasite.

I don't think Harry'll be the goblin. How else would you explain him being hit with a jack-o-lantern? And what about the guy in the green striped suit?

Green striped suit dude is Thomas Hayden-Church, he's playing Sandman. Harry is the second Green Goblin though.
 
Can't wait...I really liked the previous 2 Spider Man movies. Excited for the 3rd. :D

Plus, Kirsten Dunst is gorgeous. I want a piece. *drool* :D

I suspect that Venom might be the villain of Spider-Man 4. It's possible Spider-Man 3 might end up with the set-up of Venom (Eddie Brock obtains the black suit), much like Spider-Man 2 ended with the set-up of Harry.

Go rent Spider-Man 2 :p

Basicly, Doctor Octopus shows up and ends up tossed in the ocean, supposedly dead. Mary Jane finds out Peter is Spider-Man, Harry Osborn finds out that Peter is Spider-Man and finds his dad's stash of Green Goblin weapons.

Yes, Sandman exploded out of the building.
As for the black suit, Peter made the red suit, the black goo is a sentient suit (alien or experiment depending on whether you read Amazing or Ultimate Spider-Man) that takes over the host slowly.

It later bonds to Eddie Brock and they become Venom.

Carnage is the spawn of Venom, only the human inside is a psychopath named Cletus Kassady and likes to run down the streets killing people for fun.

Or in Ultimate Spider-Man, the black suit was an experiment created by Peter's father before he died.

As for Harry as the Goblin?
A) The bomb could be a dream sequence.
B) How do you explain this?

Looks like Harry to me.

The guy in the green striped suit is Sandman.
 
Just before I get into spoiler territory, Harry is confirmed as playing the Green Goblin. And now for a little white text for those not wanting to know this:
The fourth villain is Quentin Beck - Mysterio in the comics, and he's played by the legend that is Bruce Campbell! Apparantly his cameo's in the first two films will be explained in this plot.
Gwen Stacy is romanced by "Dark Peter" and could easily become the new romantic interest if there is to be a fourth film
The symbiote can also make a return due to the way the major fight sequence is handled.
The genesis of another villain is handled even though not really seen: Curt Connors - The Lizard. Maybe for Spidey 4?

End of White Text!
 
I thought I heard they were making 7 spidy movies, but that The cast might not stay the same for all of them.

Also, I doubt that they Carnage will appear in the films as they would need to make it R rated to do it justice.

I agree with those who say that Venom will not be the main villain in the film and likely be in the next one.
 
And just as an addition, Eddie Brock can kick the crap out of spiderman without venom. He happens to be a martial artist and has many a time gone toe to toe with spiderman without the help of the parasite.

Sounds like way too much to cram into one movie. I suspect that some villains will get trimmed unless they're planning #4 to be an "Sinister Six" type affair. Sandman and the Green Goblin and the symbiote sound like enough for #3.

True, which is why:Sandman is relatively minor at the start of the movie, and Mysterio is very minor. Its all about the Green Goblin (and his own inner conflict (Harry vs. His Fathers Legacy) and Spidey/Venon, Peter/DarkPeter
