Maguire on the Spider-Man 3 Goo
Source: Los Angeles Times December 11, 2006
In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Tobey Maguire revealed a bit more about Spider-Man 3:
"Basically, there's the goo, right? The symbiote which has, like, a dark energy, like the goo from the thing that creates venom." To someone not totally versant in the Spider-Man mythology, Maguire sounds vaguely demented. He realizes it, laughs and backs up. He's not referring to venom, but Venom, "a very, very popular character from the later Spider-Man comics. He has the same kind of attributes that Spider-Man has, but he's just stronger, faster and more vicious than Spider-Man. And it comes from this goo that comes from outer space, so first the goo comes and gets hold of me."
--------------------------------
So it looks like they are sticking close to the original concept origin of the symbiote as apose to the Ultimate origin. I think it will play out something like in the animated series.
Second off Sandman is a lame villain but Sandman is Tobey's favorite villain plus from a visual stand point he will be awsome. Also he's a villain that would make more sense as Uncle Ben's killer for the movies b/c Sandman is just a tug basiclly and there isn't much complexity to his origin or character as apose to Spidys major villains like The Lizard, not Lizard man, or Doc Ock, or any of the Goblins.
