The Black Suit!
Sony Makes it official.
does look like a black and white photo, but Sony has officially announced Spidey is wearing the black suit which leads to you-know-who. Over at SHH!, who broke the story, fans are going wild thinking they see things (goblins?) in the lense reflection.
Goblin Suit Description?
This Q&A with someone who claims to be a crewmember showed up at Aintitcool and gives this description of GG2.0's costume. Spoilers and key battle scenes at the link.
He looks cool as an individual idea. But again, nothing remotely goblin like about him except the weapons, glider and some green on him. No hood, the belts hold two swords. One long one on his back, a smaller one on his right leg. Pumpkins bombs are in his glider. Goggles are black. He has a green mouthmask. Gloves are black. No idea why. Possible to make it more to his liking, a way to "improve".
Grandma Says its Hobgoblin ... Hunh???
According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer Grandmama Osborn, aka James Franco's real life grandmother, says she knows who her grandson is playing and its The Hobgoblin.
"Until now, the "Spider-Man 3" evolution of Harry Osborn, James Franco's character in all three Spideys, has been closely guarded by Columbia Pictures. Even the actors are under a gag order.
But Franco's grandmother, Mitzie Verne of Shaker Heights, knows what's up with No. 3. She says Franco's Osborn will take on the identity of archvillain Hob Goblin. That might be a shock to comic-book loyalists, because in print, Harry became the second Green Goblin."
Harry: Friend or Foe? IESB
The latest news, most detailed, news so far about whether Harry Osborn will follow in his father's footsteps. An anonomous, but "reliable source" had this to say to IESB...
"Rob, all the assumptions that Harry Osborn is the third villain the Hobgoblin are all wrong. Spiderman finds himself out numbered in this one. When everything seems to be at its worst for our hero, he finds himself an unlikely ally, Harry Osborn. Peter Parker's best friend will come to his aide. ..."We will see Harry battling his inner demons to make the choice between his father's legacy and his best friend. I will fill you in more later but gotta go, crew call in 10 minutes, Sam doesn't like it when anyones late! Holla, Peace..."
So maybe he still does go goblin and helps Spidey in the end and is redeemed.

First Villain Pic Revealed... SHH
Dunst Lets Villain IDs slip... Its Venom and Sandman!
Update 'MJ' gives another tidbit to MTV News
Well the "half" could either be Harry or it could be Eddie. More below... "We have really great people though as the villains in this film, Thomas Haden Church and Topher Grace -- Venom and Sandman," says Kirsten Dunst while promoting her film "Elizabethtown." |
|
|
|
"Maybe I wasn't supposed to say that," she says. Full Story. Apparently she reversed them. Its Church as Sandman and Grace as Venom. Still believe a goblin will be lurking. |
Freezedriedmovies claims to have the villains confirmed...
"... Topher Grace of That 70s Show will play the immortal VENOM in Sam Raimi's third Spiderman adaptation. We told you guys a few months back that "someone" has snagged the rights to the character of Venom off of New Line Cinema and it was reported a few days ago that Grace had been "bulking up"- so we decided it was time to put the pressure on. So there you have it VENOM! Now as for the other two stars listed above we've been told that Thomas Haden Church will in fact play SANDMAN and that James Franco will play HOBGOBLIN and not the Green Goblin II (like in the comics). No more info can be given at this time, but I've confirmed this with various sources and apparently it's quite well known..."
Dunst drops a hint
A poster at Superherohype.com who claims to work for NBC says Kirsten Dunst told him that "Harry is the main villain".
"I work for my local NBC station, so I attended the VMA on Sunday. Thanks to the Access Hollywood people, who hooked me up, I had unlimited access at the American Airline Arena. I had a chance to meet Kirsten Dunst, who was there with Orland Bloom promoting their upcoming film Elizabethtown. I obviously asked her about Spider-Man 3. Why wouldn't I? Well, since I was part of the media she didn't want to tell me anything. I guess to satisfy me all she said was that "Harry is the main villain." It's pretty vague. Is Harry Green or Hob Goblin? I don't know. Are Thomas and Topher secondary villains? I suppose..." Read more here.
New Look For Goblin? and Electro enters the Mix AICN
"... It's also quite possible we'll be seeing an appearance from Green Goblin 2, but I'd doubt he'd pop up in a big way if there's already 2 confirmed villains, even with these rumors of a changed up Gobby costume and "surf-board-like glider" are to be believed..."
Franco: See, that's a- - I obviously can't talk about it but it's weird. Everyone asks me about the Hobgoblin because actually Harry Osborn never became the Hobgoblin. He became the second Green Goblin. But I think Marvel and Sam and everybody, they're not going to be obvious about it.
"Um," Franco pauses. "Nobody has a script yet, so..."
"According to Rich Johnston's Lying in the Gutters comic book rumor column, Topher Grace is also playing the Chameleon. See, throughout the film Grace's character will be making moves on Mary Jane, and getting closer and closer, until it's revealed that he's just another disguise the Chameleon wears."
Wow! The author goes on to say that we won't have an official announcement til Next Year's ComicCon.
Rumored to be playing 'The Sandman', Thomas Haden Church teased fans on The Tonite Show, but rumors persist that he is, in fact, set to play The Chameleon, master of disguise.
"... Church plays Dimitri Serdyokov, who goes by false name Dr Turner at Peter's College. The Chameleon will also have a brother in this film which will set up Kraven the Hunter in a future film...." Moviehole.net
The report also mentions that the second villain will be The Second Green Goblin but that "he won't appear until the end of the film". Much as we'd like to believe this part the whole thing sounds a little too hokey to be true. Stay tuned.
Two Villains? Latino Review
An "anonymous" source says there will be two and knows who they are.
"...Yes the Sandman will be in Spider-Man 3 but he's not the only villain. And no it isn't Black Cat like some people were suggesting. It will be SANDMAN AND HOBGOBLIN"
Harry at AICN is reporting that Thomas Haden Church will be playing the villainous thug Sandman."Hey folks, Harry here... Multiple spies at Sony have confirmed that Thomas Hayden Church will indeed be playing SANDMAN. There's a ton of Sandman conceptual art all over the Spidey-offices! ... "
Of course nothing's official 'til we hear from Sony.
More of the same from Sam... From Costo Connection
Spider-Man" franchise director Sam Raimi talked to the Costco Connection, the magazine for the store, about Spider-Man 3 and a possible fourth film.
CC: We hear that you and your brother have been working on the story for Spider-Man 3. The sense you get toward the end of Spider-Man 2 is that Peter and Harry Osborn will face off in the third. Is that a fair assumption?
SR: (laughing) I can't tell you that!
CC: I knew you'd say that. Well, what can you tell us?
SR: I can't tell you anything. I've been sworn to secrecy..."
The rest is the familiar bla bla about Peter maturing and his progression as a human being...
Raimi mentions GG2 Again - USA Today
"Raimi will only name-drop some classic Spidey villains, including the Green Goblin ..."
and from the Spider-Man 2 DVD Commentary...
Raimi again tries to pass off the "maybe he will realize what his father was and forgive Spider-Man" shtick and Tobey Maguire calls him out. Sam says, "guess that didn't work too well did it?" ...
No Sam, we're not buying it.
Raimi says "last one" The Latino Review
"It's possible that he's been hating Spider-Man all these years because he believed that he killed his father, an innocent, fine man whose love he finally started to appreciate, or the father began to appreciate his love rather," Raimi said. "And so he thought that Spider-Man killed this good man and was shocked to learn that his own best friend had betrayed him, never revealing that he was Spider-Man. So you think that would be the case, but when he comes upon the lair of his father and realizes that his father was actually this mass murderer, the whole truth is revealed to him and he may come to the conclusion, he may come to the realization that his father was an evil man and finally had to be destroyed. I'm not sure what's in Harry's mind. I'm trying to figure that out right now. It's like if you blamed someone for the death of your father all these years and someone who was supposedly this hero, vigilante, and then you realized that your father was a mass murderer, it might change things."
Avi Arad on 3 Empire Online
"It's all about choices. Big potential, opening a whole other pallet," ... "No, it's way too early to tell you." Spoilsport. Avi, though, did talk about the possibility of James Franco's Harry Osborn donning the jade jodhpurs of his dear, departed, demented dad, Norman Osborn and becoming? The Green Goblin, as 'hinted' at in the movie's finale, when Harry stumbles upon Daddy's Goblin lair.
"It's almost an obvious continuation of movie one," says Arad. Too obvious? "No, I think you want to know, if you like the character, how would Harry get on with life?"
and more from Sam...
"All those are possibilities and I am thinking about that," confirms Raimi. "But who knows if Harry Osborn will actually pick up that green sauce and realise? 'you know, I understand why Spider-Man killed my father, [because] he was a murderer. I can now let my anger float away'. Or does he think 'I now have the means to vanquish my foe. Lemme at him!'"
Sam finishes writing Treatment for Spidey 3 The BBC
"Harry will be a problem, but I'm not certain if Harry will become the Goblin or not. The thing I'm really not certain about is if he comes to feel, "Now I have the means to destroy Spider-Man - I was too weak before but now I have a way and I will become the man that my father always dreamed I could be." Or, does he feel: "Now I understand why Spider-Man had to destroy him, because he was a mass murderer and now my anger can drain away from me." It could be an answer to a question and it ends the pursuit, but I'm not certain which way to go."
Sounds like a smokescreen.
A lot of green in Spidey 3! E online
"Harry Osborn might wear a lot of green, and not for St. Patty's Day"
Franco talks Gobby, TV Guide Online
Spider-Man's" James Franco told TV Guide Online that comic books fans shouldn't expect his Harry Osborne character to assume the Green Goblin character like he did in the comics.
"There's some confusion," Franco said. "There's a Hobgoblin in the comics who isn't Harry Osborne. The second Green Goblin is Harry Osborne. And there's been a setup since the first film for my character (to be evil). But we had the Green Goblin in the first film, and I really don't think it's smart to repeat that."
So whatever they have Franco doing in "Spider-Man 3," he says, "It's gonna be different. I don't think I'll fly."
James Franco on Spidey 3 : Comics Continuum
Asked whether he would become the next-generation Goblin, he said. "That's what happens in the comics, but I don't think Sam will be predictable anyway. Who knows what's going to happen in number three?"
So which is it Jimmy? Dark Horizons
I'm sure when I'm playing the goblin, I'm out there- - or if I play, whatever happens. No, honestly, I don't know what happens in the third one. I don't. You can say I'm playing the goblin but you're going to be wrong.
Raimi on 'Green Goblin the Next Generation'! : Comics Continuum
"This will not be your grandfather's Green Goblin. This is going to be a brand-new creation."
Hobgoblin?
James Franco on playing The Goblin : Movieweb
"Did you talk to Willem Dafoe about having to take over his role if The Green Goblin were to come back? I'll tell you this. I just worked with Nic Cage and we were talking about it and I said, "Well maybe I'm going to have to play the Green Goblin, what do you think?" And Nicolas gave me this great move if it came about. [James claps twice, spins around and shakes his butt.] So, maybe that's what I'll do if I ever do it"
