They will most likely need to take some major liberties with the story if venom is truly the (one of the) villain. My guess is that they will take more elements from the Ultimate origin than the traditional (odd substance, alien clothing machine on another planet after his costume is destroyed). The movies have mixed the best elements of both universes. Even more than the Ultimate universe cancer fighting experiment, the animated series version where John Jameson brought the Venom symbiot to Earth after a moon landing would work well (they did introduce him in 2). But if Topher is Eddie Brock... bah! I think although seeing venom on-screen would be cool, it's not really right for the tone the previous movies have set. If Venom were the baddy, I would hope he was the only one, but we know that’s not the case regardless as sign indicate multiple villains this time.
We already know from the end of Spiderman 2 that for certain, Green Goblin (Harry) or Hobgoblin (depending how they re-imagine things) will be one of the villains. I just hope that Raimi can master multiple baddies better than the Batman movies. Character development has been the strength of the movies (well maybe not John Jameson, but we were not supposed to like him to much or we’ll feel bad when he got jilted at the alter).
