The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Colm Feore - Who is he?

[GuestStar2004]

It was obvious he was playing Adrian/Vulture.

Was it?

 

[Spider-Dude23]

Yeah, look at him!

 

[pr0xyt0xin]

Vulture was my vote way back when. But I'm actually still skeptical lol.

 

[SpideyFan866]

Was it?

Yeah... It.. It kinda was.

Who else could he be playing?

Vermin?

Not likely......

 

[DigificWriter]

Who else could he be playing?

Let me see: an original character?

 

[Spider-Dude23]

Let me see: an original character?

Or maybe Adrian?

 

[MrSpyder]

He has the look Adrian

 

[Spider-Dude23]

Maybe he's playing Aunt May

 

[GuestStar2004]

Maybe he is playing the king pin

 

[Nicko-Ray]

This.

 

[SpideyFan866]

Let me see: an original character?

This.

Yeah, but if that was the case, why would they keep his role a secret?

Same for Felicity Jones. Her role may very well be small, but why keep it a secret?

 

[DigificWriter]

^ Because the identities of their characters don't matter in the long run.

 

[Carlo Comicus]

Total ******** this "news" for me. No source for this rumor.

 

[TheWallCrawler]

I don't believe it either... Hey, remember when it was confirmed that irffan Khan was gonna be the Green Goblin yes, not talking about the Proto-Goblin thing, there was infact also later a "confirmation" of him playing the Green Goblin

Haha, oh God.

If his character was that insignificant, I doubt they would even mention Feore in the initial press release, in which, he was mentioned alongside Giamatti, who's role was also kept an official secret until recently.

 

[Spider-Dude23]

It's because they didn't want anyone knowing he's playing an Asian chick playing a violin.

 

[Neno_Kos]

When i first heard Feore is casted in ASM2, first thing that comes to mind was
Adrian Toomes (Vulture). Later when i saw some set pics of Ravencroft i thinked i was probably wrong but now again when this rumours started i started thinking i was right.

 

[Super Jim]

Well, in researching Adrien Toomes, IF he is in TASM2 and/or TASM3, along with the fact that there is the set picture of Feore allegedly playing him wearing a suit in what is obviously Ravencroft Institute for the Criminally Insane, I started to wonder how this could play into the Vulture and/or this Sinister Six concept I have.

First it is very interesting to note that the Vulture has been in every single incarnation of the Sinister Six, including the Sinister Twelve (we'll save the Sinister Twelve for movie #10 - just kidding). So what I'm saying is that if Toomes is in TASM2, whether shown as the Vulture, or as just a Director or doctor, or whatever at Ravencroft (or somewhere else), then this Sinister Six idea becomes even more of a possibility. Although possible to have the Sinister Six without the Vulture, it sure seems (since he's been in every one) that he is an integral member.

So, let's focus on this Ravencroft set photo. If Colm Feore is indeed Adrien Toomes then we need to ask why he's wearing a suit at Ravencroft. Obviously he's not a prisoner in that monkey suit. It is possible that he's not Adrien Toomes at all, and he's just the Director of Ravencroft, but where's the fun it that? So if he was the director of Ravencroft, as I'm guessing he will be, and Adrien Toomes at the same time (I know, this would be different from canon, but still, possible) then how can that play into the story of the Vulture?

Well first, the original Adrien Toomes was an electronics engineer (just like me) and had a jerk for a business partner. Toomes did the inventing and his partner, Bestman, handled the finances, and by handled I mean imbezzled. Anyway, Toomes got shut out of the business and decided to take revenge, and then turned to a life of crime using his whole wing harness suit thing.

Now none of that origin story plays into this concept of Toomes being the Director of Ravencroft. So what else is there?

Well, it was the Vulture that first let Peter realize that he could make money using his photography and his skills as Spidey. The Daily Bugle was advertising that they would pay for photos of this Vulture dude, and Peter got the shots. Maybe something like this could be used to get the whole Daily Bugle thing going, especially since he already used the camera against the Lizard. But again, this had nothing to do with Ravencroft...

Now there is one major storyline that involves the Vulture and Ravencroft. While in prison Adrien Toomes believed himself to be dying due to injuries inflicted during an incident in the prison workshop. Because of this he revealed the location of an extra Vulture outfit on the prison grounds to his cellmate, named Blackie Drago. Blackie then explained that he caused the workship "accident" in order to find this out, knocks out a guard, digs up the suit, escapes and becomes the second Vulture.

Now this exact story wouldn't work IF Colm is Toomes and is the Ravencroft Director or any other Ravencroft person who would be walking around, unguarded, wearing a suit. But, bringing Ravencroft into the story is a great way to introduce certain characters. It would allow for jail break storylines (which supports the Sinister Six), and even for a future story with Kletus Cassidy (who would just so happen be in the cell next to Eddie Brock).

But what would work is introducing Ravencroft Prison, where Peter has helped to put away a few villains (maybe even Electro at the end of the film), and the Director, Adrien Toomes. A storyline (not necessarily in TASM2) where Toomes finds out about a suit that allows a person to have extra strength, flight, etc. could be included. Maybe it will be a switch where it is Blackie Drago as the original and Toomes as the next. Or maybe some prisoner (Drago or someone else) invented the suit, tells Toomes of the location, and this will lead to the Vulture. Or maybe, just maybe, some Russian thug names Sergei tried to steal a military suit with this capability, was driving a truck away from the scene, was stopped by Spiderman, got beaten badly by Spiderman, who even went so far as to embarrass him by pulling his pants down (which gave his partner time to get away with the suit), then either gave up the information of where the hideout is to the prison director, or was drugged in order to give up the information, leading the Director to finding this prototype and becoming a super villain named the Vulture.

Hmmm, I like that. Sounds like a decent storyline. Maybe Webb should use it.

Anyway, it would be interesting if Toomes is in TASM2, not necessarily as the Vulture, but as the Director of Ravencroft. If this is the case, along with Green Goblin (Osborn), Rhino, and possibly Electro; I think we have even more of a chance of the Sinister Six in TASM3.

 

[Picard Sisko]

The director of Ravencroft is Dr. Kafka, not Adrian Toomes, and he is being played by Marton Csokas.

I think its very possible that Colm Feore is playing Adrian Toomes, but all of this news we've been hearing about from Comic Book Movie is bogus if you ask me. Unless its been announced by Sony or Marc Webb, nothing is official. Now everyone is going around saying how crowded this film is because we have Electro, Rhino, Vulture, and Green Goblin when ONLY the first two have been confirmed.

t:
Can I get a double Amen??!!

Seriously. I know fans kind of tend to take these rumors more than a grain of salt because they seem to trust the source but none of it is official. At the end of the day.

Then fans over react and start thinking there are 4-5 villains?? Ridiculous.

 

[Picard Sisko]

People need to calm down when it comes to internet rumors on comic book movies. Remember when we were told that Aunt May was going to become Carnage in Spider-Man 3?

Ha whoa. I actually wasn't around for that, no. But I've heard about like the "venom in the eye" stuff so..

 

[NewYorkSpider]

The sad thing is that some people actually believed that rumor.

 

[WarriorDreamer]

Yes, I thought he'd be playing the Vulture. Still sad there is no Jonah in any place in the movie. I wonder if he'll even get a reference. Marc W's reasoning behind his absence: JK Simmons was too iconic to get someone new.

Um.. yeah thats the thing about comic book characters, they're not confined to one actor.
