Editing Sandman (Raimi) (section)

== Trivia ==

* In the comics, William Baker, who later adopts the alias Flint Marko, was a common criminal with a history of drifting in and out of street gangs. While on the run from the FBI, a nuclear test reactor explosion altered his body, transforming him into sand and giving birth to the Sandman persona.
* Sandman is the only villain in the ''Spider-Man'' trilogy who does not die.
* Thomas Haden Church, who portrayed Flint Marko/Sandman, is one of the few actors to reprise a villain role in a different ''Spider-Man'' franchise. He returned as Sandman in ''Spider-Man: No Way Home''.
* In ''Spider-Man: No Way Home'', reworked archive footage from ''Spider-Man 3'' was used during Sandman’s cure scene, a distinction he shares with Marc Webb’s ''The Amazing Spider-Man''’s Lizard.
* In the ''Spider-Man 3'' video game, Sandman's interaction with Venom is altered. In this version, Venom blackmails Sandman to help him kill Spider-Man by threatening his daughter, Penny. After defeating Venom, Sandman is reunited with his daughter and apologizes to Spider-Man, but Spider-Man does not learn the truth about Sandman’s role in Uncle Ben's death. This could be due to the developers' decision to exclude this detail from the game.
* It remains unclear at which point in time Sandman was transported to the alternate universe in ''Spider-Man: No Way Home'', as he was never shown to have died in his original universe.
