SPIDERMAN 3 ( 1987)
Director : Joe Dante

The Cast

Spiderman / Peter Parker : Michael J Fox
In this version , he responds to the symbiote in the style of the 90s animated series, as opposed to looking emo and dancing in the streets.

Mary Jane : Bridget Fonda
In this iteration, she's closer to her upbeat and bubbly, comics counterpart .

Sandman / Flint Marko : Tom Berenger
In this version , Marko has more of an edge and a darkside to him, and is a much more ambiguous figure ,than the Thomas Hayden Church version.

Green Goblin / Harry Osborn : Judd Nelson
In this version his much more calculating, manipulating and ruthless than the film version.
He wants to ruin Peter's life .

Venom/ Eddie Brock : Martin Kove
In this version he's closer to his comic book counter part ,as opposed to the Topher Grace version.
As opposed to being obsessed with Gwen, he's more of a cad and a creep to her.

Closer to her characterization in the Spectacular Spiderman cartoon as opposed to being a fashion model.

[Herofan]

Claude Frollo : Ben Cross , with older age makeup

I could see Tony Jay (though maybe a bit too old then for live action) or Jeremy Irons doing well.

Captain Phoebus : Viggo Mortensen

Interesting that in the '90s he had small but decent supporting roles in movies like The Prophecy and G.I. Jane (and 2 Hitchcock remakes in '98) and then he was so great and right and commanding as Aragorn. He also could have done well with this earlier big break.

Anakin Skywalker : River Phoenix

You do wonder with the actual films why in the actual films Anakin kept his hair brown especially with kind of not getting along with Obi-Wan, I guess he kept his hope of impressing him.

Sebastian Shaw : Jeremy Irons

I know in the actual film Colin Firth was considered to play him, that would have been at least cool to have Shaw, like with the comics, look a bit like Wolverine.
