The interesting thing is if they do show Spider-Man in this film at all, it will be the first time that we see Columbia's Spider-Man directed by anyone other than Sam Raimi. This "Lethal Protector" version of Venom is said to have him as more of an anti-hero than a villain. While I'm sure you need him to be at least partially good to have him be the guy you can root for, I hope they spend some significant time with him as a demented host to an alien symbiote, with conflicting voices in his head. Can we get someone to play him that looks a little more menacing and intimidating than Topher Grace, please? I don't mind Spidey looking like he's the kid in school that would get picked on, but Eddie Brock was a big meat-headed douche bag.. Let's get back to that, please? Hopefully some of Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick's (Zombieland) script is intact, as they have a knack for comedy that would surely be much better than whatever has happened in the Spider-Man series so far.
