Over the past months, Sam Raimi and the crew of Spider-Man 3 have been tight-lipped when asked questions about villains and story lines. Well, leave it to the the ever spacey Kristen Dunst to be the possessor of the loose lips. During an interview this past weekend to promote Elizabethtown she basically confirmed all the rumors flying around."We have really great people though as villains in this film. Thomas Haden Church and Topher Grace -- Venom and Sandman", said Dunst. "maybe I wasn't supposed to say that", she added before attempting to reverse her claim. "it's the other way around. You're right", she conceded to a journalist.
Church has the body size and should fit the Sandman character very well. Topher (That 70's Show) on the other hand is small in build and is pretty close to being the same body type as Toby (Peter Parker). In the comics Eddy Brock, who would become Venom, was a large body builder. And the Venom costume was a symbiote that Spider-Man brought back from another planet during the 1st Secret Wars. So some very big character changes are going to have to take place to fit the Venom character in. Both characters could be outstanding villains as long as Raimi handles them right. But with his past track record and his amazing eye for detail, we should not be disappointed. The film is set to start filming in January with a May 4 2007 release date.

You're right...not sure how they are going to do bring Venom into play but I'm glad they are doing it.
