Oscar nominee Thomas Haden Church has signed on to play the to be announced villain in the upcoming Spider-Man 3. Does this mean that whole Chloe Sevigny thing was just gossip or is there going to be two villains. I hope two! Church and Sevigny together would rock. From the Hollywood Reporter:
"Thomas Haden Church, who was nominated for an Academy Award for best supporting actor in Sideways, has been cast as Spidey's new archenemy in the next chapter of the Spider-Man franchise. Director Sam Raimi made the annoncement Monday along with producers Laura Ziskin and Marvel Studios' Avi Arad.
Spider-Man 3, which is scheduled for release May 4, 2007, will reunite the team that was responsible for the first two blockbuster films, which combined to gross more than $1.5 billion in worldwide ticket sales. The new film will again star Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, and Kirsten Dunst is expected to reprise her role as Mary Jane Watson. Production on Spider-Man 3 is scheduled to begin early next year.
"In addition to the ongoing relationship between Peter Parker and M.J., these films are driven by the great actors who have brought our villains to life," Raimi said. "Thomas Haden Church will be a fantastic and challenging new nemesis, and we all look forward to working with him."
The filmmakers are not revealing the identity of the new villain."
No mention of Wings in the article. He's finally moved on. Good for him. Somewhere, Crystal Bernard is kicking herself.
