- Thomas Haden Church as Sandman is great casting.
- The new look for James Franco as the Hobgoblin (?) is very minimal, but maybe it's better than the Green Goblin look?
- No peeks at Venom, but there's a memorable scene from an actual comic book I own referenced in the trailer.
- Something tells me Topher Grace will make a good Ultimate Eddie Brock. Either that or he's a combination of the original and the Ultimate version.
- Didn't get to see a lot of Bryce Dallas Howard in her Gwen Stacy look, but her playing a blond to Kirsten Dunst's redhead plays as some strange irony.
The fact that you put, "Something tells me Topher Grace will make a good Ultimate Eddie Brock. Either that or he's a combination of the original and the Ultimate version."
ReplyDeleteMeans I can no longer talk to you.
Ha.
ReplyDeleteFWIW, Eddie Brock/Venom is a deplorable character.
Not sure if that makes you feel any better, but hey, whatever floats your boat.
I think the trailer looks amazing. The only thing I'm sad about it that they didn't try to make the black costume more like the one from the comic book.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine the corporate meeting ... "well the viewers will forget what movie they're watching, so let's just make the black costume a desaturated version of the red one." Shucks ..
