In Spider-Man 3, Peter Parker has finally managed to strike a balance between his devotion to M.J. and his duties as a superhero. But there is a storm brewing on the horizon. As Spider-Man basks in the public's adulation for his accomplishments and he is pursued by Gwen Stacy (Bryce Dallas Howard), who rivals M.J. for his affections, Peter becomes overconfident and starts to neglect the people who care about him most. His newfound self-assuredness is jeopardized when he faces the battle of his life against two of the most feared villains ever (Thomas Haden Church, Topher Grace), whose unparalleled power and thirst for retribution threaten Peter and everyone he loves.

If you’re a comic book obsessive, then you’d probably want to mark 4 May 2007 in your diary because that is when Spider-man 3 opens across the globe.

The sequel will again be directed by Sam Raimi who directed the previous two films. So far Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, J.K. Simmons, Dylan Baker, and James Franco are the confirmed returning cast members from the previous two Spider-man movies.

Main filming for Spider-man 3 started on January 2, 2006, however certain preliminary test photography is said to begin as early as September 2005.

Thomas Haden Church, who starred in the movie Sideways will play a villain named Sandman, and Topher Grace, known for his lead role in the sitcom That '70s Show, plays Venom.
