Dunst Reveals Spiderman 3 Villans

[moe.ron]

Actress spills the beans.

September 26, 2005 - While doing press for her forthcoming release Elizabethtown, actress Kirsten Dunst may have finally let the proverbial cat out of the bag about the oft-speculated identities of the villains in Spider-Man 3.

Dunst is quoted at Zap2It as saying, "We have really great people though as the villains in this film, Thomas Haden Church and Topher Grace -- Venom and Sandman." She added, "Maybe I wasn't supposed to say that."

But when a journalist expressed disbelief that Sandman lookalike Church would be playing Venom, Dunst corrected her gaffe. "It's the other way around. You're right."

So just to be clear: according to Dunst, Thomas Haden Church is Sandman and Topher Grace is Venom.

Although she hasn't read the script yet for Spider-Man 3 , which begins filming in January, Dunst said, "I know the general story. ... There's a lot that they're trying to fit into this one."

Spider-Man 3 is slated for a May 4, 2007 release.

Is it possible she's thrown out a red herring in order to confuse people on the plot line?

That's what I'm thinking, because we all know that producers will keep their actors on a short rope when it comes to giving out plot details and if it's true that is a HUGE plot detail. In any case, as a person who has been acting since she was like 8, she should know better. If it's true I doubt the producers are happy with her right now.

Well, IMDb lists both Thomas Hayden Church and Topher Grace as being in Spidey 3, although it doesn't list roles for them.

Do you mean Green Goblin? I imagine they will still work with Harry Osborne on that, but, as in the last movie, not as the main villain. Maybe he will actually resist the temptation to go to the dark side.

Hobgoblin is the son of Green Goblin.

Thanks. I'm showing my age. I was never a big Marvel comics fan (much preferred DC, and still do), so I haven't really read Spider-Man comics in a few decades. Back then, as I recall, there was only Green Goblin.

Nope, Green Goblin is Harry Osborn. Hobgoblin was Norman Osborn. However, the movie didn't follow the comic book story line. So, we're both right.
