Spider-Man 3 is an American feature film of the superhero fantasy genre. It is the third installment in the original in the original Spider-Man film series produced by Sony Pictures Entertainment. It was written and directed by Sam Raimi and co-written by Ivan Raimi and Alvin Sargent. It was released theatrically in the United States on May 4th, 2007. Spider-Man 3 attempts to capture the same allure as its predecessor, Spider-Man 2, by introducing a sympathetic villain named Flint Marko, who has the misfortune of being transformed into a monstrous creature dubbed the Sandman. The journey of Peter Parker's former pal, Harry Osborn, comes full circle as he embraces his heritage and becomes the new Green Goblin. Adding to Spidey's troubles is a brand new film villain named Eddie Brock, who becomes an equally monstrous and equally deadly foe called Venom.
Spider-Man 3 stars Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker, aka Spider-Man, Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane Watson, James Franco as Harry Osborn, Thomas Haden Church as the Sandman, Topher Grace as Venom, Bryce Dallas Howard as Gwen Stacy, Rosemary Harris as Aunt May, and J.K. Simmons as that irascible J. Jonah Jameson.
