Rosemary Harris is Aunt May AND ...
Filed under: Action, Casting, RumorMonger, Fandom, Politics, Comic/Superhero/Geek, Remakes and Sequels
I'm going to tell you right up front to take the following information as NOTHING more than crazy Internet rumor for now because the only source we've got is the dubious IMDB. IMDB is a fantastic site for what it is, but it certainly isn't a dependable source for movie information pre-launch. Typically we don't even publish IMDB rumor until we've got something else to substantiate it, but this one is just too wacky to let slip under our radar. If nothing else, it's worth sharing just to get your reactions to it. Ready for this? If you check the Spider-Man 3 page, you'll note that actress Rosemary Harris, who has given life to the much beloved Aunt May, is listed for a second role in the web-shooting sequel. Care to guess who the second character is? You're probably wrong. But if you guessed Spider-Man arch villain Carnage you are absolutely right. Weird? Yes. Inaccurate? Almost certainly. But it is certainly one of the craziest rumors that has passed my virtual desk in several months now, and thus I share it with you. Let's pretend to make this a legitimate post by offering up actors we'd like to see actually portray Cletus Kasady/Carnage in the future. Ideas?

Robin Williams might possibly be crazy enough...

That is one rumor that I think we can all agree is IMPOSSIBLE. If we see carnage than will be see Dormammu?
Spider Man's history is pretty complex.

No .. way ... way too old. How about Steve Zahn? Kasadi was on the small side. Like weird puny thin young wacko. Brock was the big guy. It's funny, cause Topher Grace looks like he is built more for Kasidy, Brock should be played by a larger squarer shouldered guy.

Maybe she's doing the voice or something.

talk about another brilliant change from the comic original. First, Spidey can shoot webs from his own wrists instead of his homemade web shooters, badass Venom being played by a wimpy, scrawny boy and the crazy as shit Carnage being played by an old woman. Words cannot describe my glee....GENIUS!

Eddie Brock didn't start off huge. As for the Big C I could see Steve Zahn doing the part.

I think Cillian Murphy would be a great Carnage, he looks like he could play a good Psychopath.

Sorry, but I would hate to see anyone play Carnage. He's just an awful character (actually, any character created by David Michilinie is usually awful)

I say go with the Rosemary Harris thing. She scares me.

I would like to see Edward Norton be Cletus Kasady. He could really give some nerve to the role, and he can play really psycho.

I just checked IMDB and couldn't find Rosemary Harris in the credits for Spider-Man 3 at all. Not for May Parker, and certainly not for Carnage.
Anybody know what's going on?
