Why Raimi really picked Topher

Topher Grace should've played Spider-Man. He would've made a great Peter Parker. I've been watching him on That 70's Show and I even saw him in that movie he did with Dennis Quaid. Let me tell you, I didn't see one thing in him that told me he could've made a great Eddie Brock/Venom. Anybody who says they did, is lying. Raimi chose him to play the part in Spider-Man 3 because obviously Topher would make a great Spider-Man, so why not get this kid to play the Anti-Spiderman. He was not picked because he'd make a great Venom. Anybody who knows the character Eddie Brock/Venom knows that. Topher Grace was picked before the script was even finished. Being familiar with the comics, Topher knew himself that he was wrong for the role. They screwed up with Venom and now they are trying to do the character justice and please the fans with the spinoff. There is no way Topher Grace will play Eddie Brock in the Venom spinoff. If they are really serious about getting the character right, Topher will not play the part. They will get someone that fits. Topher Grace did not make a great Venom. He made a great wimp. He made a great prick. He made a great Anti-Spiderman. I almost feel bad for him for all the working out he said he did. What a waste. Nobody even got to see it. He showed up in the last few minutes and he didn't get one shot to show off all the hard work he did to improve his physique. His face is in a couple shots, but it's mostly a stuntman or CGI playing Anti-Spiderman in the end.
