I am very much looking forward to seeing Venom in this summer’s Spiderman 3. The trailers improved drastically from one to the next like they intended them to get better, and we even get to see more bits of Venom as we go along. But will he be as badass as he was in the comics? Topher Grace’s slim figure is all the topic of a potential weak Venom.
So Topher himself has something to say about it. Filmwad quotes:
“He kicks Spider-Man’s ass,” Grace grinned, reflecting on his black-suited supervillain. “It was interesting, and it was hard. I had to do a lot of working out, which is very new to me. … I play a bad guy, so that was a very different experience for me, acting-wise.”
We’re sure he had to work out a lot, but we’re still skeptical as to how it’s possible to go from tiny Eric Foreman to massively over-ripped Venom. I guess we’ll have to wait for the DVD extras like everyone else.
Now if it were not for Topher playing Venom, I would have suggested him to replace Tobey when he hangs up the webby tights. In the right light the two look very similar.
But here we have some assurance that Venom will open up a can and take a piece outta Spidey.
This is very good news indeed.
