![]() Peter has two love interests-his longtime girlfriend Mary Jane Watson ( Kirsten Dunst) and his new classmate Gwen Stacy (Bryce Dallas Howard)-and the film is littered with shots of Peter or his alter ego reflected in mirrors, buildings, and framed Daily Bugle front pages. And there are doubles throughout ‘Spider-Man 3’: There are good and bad versions of Peter (before and after he puts on the Venom suit), and good and bad versions of Harry Osborn ( James Franco, before and after he bangs his head and suffers from amnesia). Grace’s Eddie Brock is more of a doppelgänger for Peter Parker than the comic-book version ever was he’s a fellow freelance photographer for the Daily Bugle who hustles for pictures of Spider-Man, and with his slight build, he looks very similar to Maguire. But Grace’s contentious casting, and a new backstory that made Brock less of a imposing beast and more of an obnoxious sleaze, were important to ‘Spider-Man 3’’s motif of evil doubles. It didn’t help matters when Raimi picked Topher Grace to play Venom’s alter ego, Eddie Brock.
