They've been trying to keep it under wraps, but seems Development-Hell.com has managed to tug the tape off a "Spider-Man 3" secret : Who the villains are?
According to the site, Thomas Haden Church isn't playing Sandman, nor is he Venom, as previously rumoured. He'll actually be 'The Chameleon'.
Says an insider, "A source close to the production of Spider-Man 3 confirmed for me that the main villain played by Mr. Thomas Hayden Church will in fact be the Chameleon.
Church plays Dmitri Smerdyakov, who goes by false name Dr. Turner at Peter's college. The Chameleon also has a brother in this film, which will set up Kraven the Hunter for a future sequel I'm told."
Adds the scooper, "They will also start issuing a new animated DVD featuring the Chameleon right before the new movie hits theatres".
The other villain in the film will be the Second Green Goblin, played by James Franco, but he won't rear his head until the end of the film. No word on who Topher Grace is playing yet, but it's been reported that he'll be a bit wearing a villain's tag too.
