Theresa Russell - no stranger to webs herself after starring in 1987’s Black Widow – has joined the cast of Spider-Man 3.
She’ll play the wife of Flint Marko (Thomas Hayden Church), a mob enforcer who ends up becoming villain The Sandman. Little else is known about the plot of Sam Raimi’s third Spider-outing, but Russell’s casting also brings word that the Markos will have a daughter.
Spider-Man 3 is expected to starting shooting this month.
