Spider-Man 3 is
a 2007 American superhero
film based on the fictional Marvel Comics character Spider-Man.
It was directed by Sam Raimi from a screenplay by Raimi, his
older brother Ivan and Alvin Sargent.
It is the third and final installment in Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy. The film stars Tobey Maguire as
Peter Parker / Spider-Man, alongside Kirsten Dunst, James Franco, Thomas Haden Church, Topher Grace, Bryce Dallas Howard, James
Cromwell, Rosemary
Harris and J. K. Simmons.
Set shortly after the events of Spider-Man 2,
as Peter Parker prepares
his future with Mary Jane Watson, he bonds with an
extraterrestrial symbiote, bringing out his anger while facing
three villains: Uncle Ben's true killer, Flint Marko,
who becomes the Sandman after a freak accident; Harry Osborn,
who seeks to avenge his father;
and Eddie Brock,
a rival photographer who becomes Venom after acquiring Peter's
symbiote.
Development of Spider-Man 3 began
immediately after the release of Spider-Man 2 for a 2007 release.
During pre-production, Raimi originally wanted another villain to be included
along with Sandman. At the request of producer Avi Arad,
he added Venom and the
producers also requested the addition of Gwen Stacy. Principal photography for the film
began in January 2006, and took place in Los Angeles and Cleveland before
moving to New York City from May until July 2006.
Additional pick-up shots were made after August and the film wrapped in October
2006. During post-production, Sony Pictures Imageworks created over
900 visual effects shots. With an estimated
production budget of $258 million, it was the most expensive film ever made at the
time of its release.
Spider-Man 3 premiered
on September 11, in Tokyo, and was released in the United States in both conventional
and IMAX theaters
on May 4, 2007. The film grossed $890.9 million worldwide, making it the most
successful film of the trilogy, the third-highest-grossing film of 2007 and
was the highest-grossing Spider-Man film until
it was surpassed by Spider-Man: Far From Home in 2019.
Unlike the previous installments, Spider-Man 3 received a mixed
reception from critics, who praised the performances, visual effects and action
sequences, but criticized the overloaded storylines and subplots,
unrefined pacing, and overabundance of villains. The majority of these issues
were later attributed to studio interferences and creative differences between
Sony, Raimi and Arad.
