The Deleted Venom Scenes of Spider-Man 3

Wasnt Raimi original plan not to have Venom at all, but to make Peter become arrogant and prideful due to his successes of being Spiderman instead

Even if Sam Raimi didn't like Venom, he was the perfect guy to turn Venom into a horror film. Too bad Sony didn't go with the horror route.

I feel bad for Raimi as you can tell his heart wasn’t in this one, I would have been curious to see what Raimi’s take on Spider-Man 3 without studio interference actually looked like!

Spiderman 3 is a goldmine for behind the scenes work and concept art of characters

Despite Sam Raimi not wanting to do Venom, he still portrayed a scary version of the character. Even to this day, Spider-Man 3 Venom to me is more disturbing than Tom Hardy Venom even though he’s the more comic accurate version.

I like the fact that with the deleted scenes they would have depicted this version of Venom as a being that initially presents itself as a symbiotic creature but slowly reveals itself to be parasitic by taking over the victim’s body and only becoming obvious when it’s too late or the victim’s too far gone. This is accentuated with the deleted scene where Eddie was revealed to be killed by the symbiot bonding with him. It’s a very Sam Rami depiction to bad it was deescalated for the final film. It’s a version of the character that I wouldn’t want to see replace the original in all media but it would have been a very interesting take for this universe’s version.

I am still scared of this version of Venom even as a young adult. Sam Raimi really did well with the horror element of this Venom.

I think there are two extra deleted scenes that you forgot: The first was right after Eddie gets fired from the Bugle, and Spider Man in the black goes out web swinging, there would’ve been a montage similar to the first Spider-Man movie where he’s fighting crime, except he was more aggressive and violent. The second was at the construction site, when the SWAT team go in to try to save Mary Jane being held hostage, the SWAT team would be foiled by both Venom and Sandman. But Venom was being more vicious and brutal. (Similar to Spider-Man 2, when Doc Ock’s mechanical arms attack a medical crew)

Even after so many years, Spider-Man 3 is still a mystery....

They should've kept the Venom animatronic in because Venom is supposed to look unnatural, especially for the church scene.

Alot of people give tophers version of venom crap..... mainly because he wasn't 8'5 and roided out of his mind. This version of venom is alot closer to the original comics than people realize. The horror aspect was toned down so much because peoples children were crying and running out of the theatre at test screenings. They had so much planned for venom in Spider-Man 3 and its a damn shame that it gets so much crap by people who dont know otherwise.

I remember seeing that Venom clip back in August and it scared the shit out of me. Wish they kept it though as it shows what Peter could’ve become.

I always thought that it would've been really cool if Harry got the Symbiote in the movie because then the plot could've focused on how anger and hatred is all consuming. Peter could resist the allure of its power because at the end of the day he has people like Mary Jane and Aunt May to pull him back from the darkness, whereas Harry has nothing but his hatred for Peter and because of that the Symbiote is able to bond and consume him. I don't know that just seems like something that could've been done to use Venom while also concluding the Harry vs Peter arc that the movies had been building up towards.

I wish to see in the comics a version of venom inspired by John Carpenter's The Thing or some HP Lovecraft cosmic horror concepts, I think with that tone some of the Raimi's deleted ideas could work so much better.

Just a slight correction, in Ultimate Spider-Man, that wasn't his uncle's killer, just some dude who robbed a shop and killed a man, who Symbiote Spider-Man then projects the guy in his mind as his Uncle's killer

Spiderman 3's venom is actually the best live action adaptation we'll ever get of doppelganger because his character is far similar than it is to comic venom

Dude the breathing suit in the brief case that would’ve been amazing

I would have liked to see the Venom animatronic

4:04 ^ Wasn’t expecting that🤣

I love your Raimi Spider-Man videos... I feel like I am such a big lore nerd for these and it's nice to share that with other people... I do hope we can continue to get more and more info for the trilogy because each time I learn something new I feel transported to being a kid again or like I'm living on a branch timeline of what could have been.
