Will Spidey Franchise Spawn Villain Film?

With the insane success of
The Dark Knight and massive buzz over
The Watchmen, it's no surprise that Sony is moving forward with
Venom, a
Spider-Man spinoff based on a villain, says
The Hollywood Reporter.
The slimy-gooey creature, originally introduced by
Topher Grace in
Spider-Man 3, would be a way to breathe new life into the aging
Spiderman franchise. However, the studio isn't yet convinced that Topher could carry a "tentpole" picture, and because Venom can change form, the door is open for another - bigger - star to play the role.
There's also a fourth
Spider-Man film in the works for 2011.
What do you say, Spidey fans? Are you psyched for a bad guy to take center stage? And who would make a good Venom? -
