They may cast actors against type, but they do tend to cast them to physically resemble, at least in some way, the character from the comics. Topher Grace is tall and thin. He's not going to be the Man-Wolf or Lizard, as those parts are already taken by actors in the first two movies, and he's not right for either. Carnage doesn't work unless you have Venom first; Carnage is kinda like venom upgraded and nastier.
Of the major villains, they've hit the big two; Goblin and Doctor Octopus. Of the biggies, I'm thinking Electro would be the best fit for Grace. He hasn't been used yet, and he'd make for a good secondary villain along with Sandman and Green Goblin 2.
I though Molina was perfect as Doc Ock. He had the look, and he's able to pull of the nice guy genius scientist part and deliver lines like "I'll peel the flesh from her bones" with equal aplomb. Remember, this is a different Doc Ock than the comics, where he was an egomaniac that everyone hated before the accident with the arms slowly drove him insane.
