Spider-Man 2

[klaptonic]

The symbiote that would eventually go on to create Venom was from space (during the Secret Wars). The movie seemingly kept trying to make a point that John Jameson was an astronaut and had been to the moon. He also now has the motivation to really, really hate Peter Parker... perhaps something came back with him on his trip? Granted, John Jameson isn't Eddie Brock (the identity of Venom is the comic books) but the groundwork is there and Sam Reimy hardly seems shy about changing the origins of the characters (and he shouldn't be, some things just don't work as well in the movies and I've been rather pleased with the way he creates the villains so far). In any case, just a little thought I had ;)

Of course, then there's the obvious one: Peter's teacher in the movie is Dr. Curt Connors... also the identity of the Lizard in the comic books.

So Hobgoblin, Venom, and Lizard verse Spidey in Spiderman 3? :) Maybe Doc Ock didn't die (it was indeed pretty ambigious) and comes back to help out Spiderman? Ahh, so many possibilities.

Lemme see if I can remember that far back....

John Jameson came back from the Moon and started turning into Man-Wolf (a werewolf - duh)! Though I can see them changing the story around to fit Venom (or even Carnage, liked him better).
Did anyone notice the Doctor Conner reference in the first movie. Once Peter had moved to New York, Harry asked him about his job and Peter informed him that Doctor Conner had fired him for being late. That reference had me expecting The Lizard to be in this movie.

I like the one villain approach, but I also like when the movie starts with an action packed fight scene where our hero is whipping on some baddie before starting the new storyline.

Vilians I would like to see include : juggernaut, rhino, hobgoblin, jackel or vulture.
a good minor villain to mop up with at the start of a movie would be: mysterio, shocker, sandman, scorpion etc...
