Trivia for Spider-Man 3 (2007)

The release date for the film was set before Spider-Man 2 (2004) was even released.

At the San Diego Comic-Con, on July 22, 2006, director Sam Raimi admitted that to keep the inclusion of the Venom character in this film secret, during casting and pre-production he went so far as to claim he hated the character, and had no intention of including the character in this film, or any subsequent sequels. To make amends, he then treated the audience to the first public images of Venom in the film, albeit with unfinished special effects.

John Dykstra, who won an Oscar for his work as visual effects supervisor on Spider-Man 2 (2004), had declined to work on the third film. Instead, Dykstra chose to work on Hot Wheels (2007). Scott Stokdyk took over as visual effects supervisor.

Topher Grace left "That '70s Show" (1998) to star in this movie.

The over 600 latex "web" balloons in the celebration scene had to be hand-painted with a Sharpie marker.
