Fans Get First Look At Spiderman 3

By SANDY COHEN - AP Entertainment Writer

SAN DIEGO(AP) "Spider-Man 3" isn't due until next summer, but about 5,000 fans got an early look at the film Saturday at Comic-Con, the country's largest comic book convention.

Director Sam Raimi, producer Laura Ziskin and key members of the cast _ Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, Topher Grace, Bryce Dallas Howard and Thomas Haden Church _ came to the San Diego Convention Center to answer fan questions and unveil never-before-seen, unfinished footage of the much-anticipated movie.

So is this the final installment of the franchise?

"There will be some conclusions, though I wouldn't say it's necessarily the end," said Maguire, whose words were nearly drowned out by thunderous applause. "We're going to leave it open-ended. If there are stories worth telling, then we'll tell them."

The brief teaser footage blended live-action scenes with animation and computer graphics. It showed Sandman, a new villain played by Church, and offered a quick glimpse of Venom (Grace), Peter Parker's spider-like nemesis.

"He's more of a doppelganger to Peter," Grace told the crowd. "It's kind of a case study in if someone very similar to Peter got the same powers but didn't have a good upbringing."

Raimi also revealed that Harry Osborn (James Franco) would become a third villain, taking on some of the powers of his father, the Green Goblin (Willem Dafoe), who was killed in the first "Spider-Man" film.

Actor Bruce Campbell, a Raimi-film regular, also makes an appearance in "Spider-Man 3," the director said. He'll play a new character, who fans believe will be the villain Mysterio.

As the director of all three "Spider-Man" films, Raimi has been immersed in Spidey's world for more than six years. A longtime fan of the comic books, Raimi said it's been a "super-dream" to make the movies, but also a "great responsibility to tell the story of this character that kids look up to as this great hero."

"Certainly you don't want to make anything that isn't worthy of their admiration," he said.

Based on early reaction at Comic-Con, Raimi has nothing to worry about. He delivered what fans wanted: Venom.

"It was way better than I expected because you got to see Venom. He looked awesome," said John McCracken, 22.

"He made the entire world happy by putting Venom in it," said Nora McGuirk, 26, manager of Beach Ball Comics in Anaheim, Calif. "Sam Raimi hasn't disappointed us yet."

Chastity Vicencio, 20, said it was even more exciting to see Spider-Man face his own demons.

"Superheroes are cool and all, but when they hit a dark side, that's really great," she said.

Spider-Man creator Stan Lee has his own ideas of what makes the movie a winner.

"I have a cameo in it, and I think it's my best cameo," said the 83-year-old Marvel Comics master. "That's probably the high point of the movie. After that, you know, it's all a letdown."

I just know they're going to have venom towards the end of the movie or somthing like that, just to annoy me.

I also saw the Hobgoblin on Sky Movies Spiderman3 Special, looks like a jet black version of the green goblin with bulkier armour:o Kinda makes me miss the hat wearing version from the comics, at least they got sandmans effects right.

*found this looking for any news on Venom

i hate this waiting! this movie is eating at my ankles ;-;

[PunkXBlaze]

The first one was generic spider man, Spider man 2 was a sappy love story, and now Spider man 3 is going to be the emo movie. I can't wait.

Actually, I'm somewhat interested in seeing it next year. Sort of.

[Aerosol]

Generic Spider-Man? I don't follow.

[Rael0505]

And Spiderman 2 wasn't a sappy love story.

[PunkXBlaze]

In handsight I should have added "In my opinion", but whatever.

[Aaron C-T]

Oh no! Not a love story that actually makes sense and pertains to the characters from the comic! Oh no, anything but that! Oh no, not a hero struggling with a darker side of himself! Oh no, anything but that! That NEVER works! The movie's "emo" and is going to suck now.

I mean really. xD

[Eraysor]

Bah, Spider Man films kick ass. They're pretty much the only super-hero films that are worth watching for the plot. I mean, X-Men is spiffy and all, but the plot is wafer thin, all I care about is the carnage. And the "Juggernaut, bitch!" line. That was classic.

I jsut hope that J. Jonah Jameson (the news editor guy) gets more awesome lines. He's the best character in the entire Spider Man film series. I mean, the way he delivers "Fetch me a violin" in Spider Man 2 makes me laugh every time.

[duckythemutant]

I liked Spider-Man 1 the first two times I watched it, but then I noticed how extremely simple it was. I never really liked Spider-Man 2 minus the action scenes... but, with Venom being my favorite villian of all time, I have high hopes for this one. Especially since it gets very tangled up and complicated (Sandman, Harry, symbiote suit, Venom, Gwen Stacy, I crapped my pants, etc)

[Duckboy]

I loved Spiderman 2 a lot. A LOT. I don't read the comics so maybe that's why I may have enjoyed it more what whatever.

All I know, is I hope that Mary Jane dies in the next film because I f**king hate Kirsten Dunst

[Aaron C-T]

There was also a little more footage of the new Harry Osborn/Goblin character, which Raimi explained later wouldn't be called either the "Green Goblin" or the "Hobgoblin," but it is Harry using his father's Goblin equipment to get revenge on Peter Parker.

I've only read a few of the comics, but is Hobgoblin the guy with the thing on his head.. the umm.. drape?

[Chao Helper]

Hobgodlin is an orange, medieval looking type character.

[Pseudo Da Hedgehog]

Strange how Sky movies claimed he was the Hobgoblin, guess they were looking into things to much.

spidey pwns.
