The Amazing Spider-Man OFFICIAL: John Malkovich is Vulture

[I_am_iron_man]

Yeah, it's unbelievable.

As a guest in an Italian tv Show called "Quelli che il calcio", actor John Malkovich has confirmed that he will play Vulture in "Spider-Man 4".

He has confirmed the production's stop and he has confirmed that he's waiting the screenplay.

Finally he said that he is hoping that the shooting will begin too soon.

Awesome. Maybe this means that the whole production delay thing isn't that serious, its just an issue of getting a perfect script.

When someone upload the interview on youtube i post here!

So he's in and haven't read a script..?

 

[Nathan]

So, Vulture after all. If there isn't a second villain in it, I'm not gonna bother with it.

 

[I_am_iron_man]

So he's in and haven't read a script..?

He's said that. Probably he has read the last draft by Vanderbilt, Ross and Lindsay-Abaire. Now he's waiting for the Sargent's draft.

 

[Marvel Spider]

I know it's not what most of us wanted, but lets just let Raimi do his thing. I trust that he knows what he's doing.

I am also hoping for a second villain, too.

 

[Nathan]

Giving us decent villains, I have no doubt that Raimi can do that. But it's his Mary Jane and Peter Parker that I can't stand since 3 movies.

 

[FaT_tONle]

It was pretty much confirmed that he was a lock as long as this version of the film happened. Doesn't mean the movie is going forward, not until they fix the script.

 

[The Joker]

Hooray for Malkovich, he's a great actor. If anyone can bring some menace to the Vulture, he can. I just hope the script allows him to bring something to the role.

And I really hope the Vulture is not the only villain. He's not got what it takes to be the solo antagonist, IMO.

 

[FaT_tONle]

I think you add Electro, or go with a mob angle with Hammerhead or the Enforcers, which Black Cat can work well with, it will work out fine.

I think that Vulture + Electro is a good couple of villains.

 

[SpideyTheBest]

Didn't Raimi say he wanted both Vulture and Electro once?

If Electro is the second villain then I am very happy.

 

[Spider-Ranger]

Great news finally!

I just hope the Vulturess-rumors don't turn out to be true...

Electro would fit perfect with Vulture!
I don't know why they have such difficulties in realizing this..

 

[DarthDaveBanner]

I think a second villain is a given; brawn to Toomes' brain.

 

[VenomVsSpidey]

Alright!!

 

[A&W]

I'm hoping for a classic vulture costume.

 

[DarthDaveBanner]

He's said that. Probably he has read the last draft by Vanderbilt, Ross and Lindsay-Abaire. Now he's waiting for the Sargent's draft.

He must have liked it more than the SM1 script seeing as he turned that one down.

 

[American_Hobo]

Ughh...........So out of all the villains, it has to be Vulture.

 

[Nathan]

I'm hoping for a classic vulture costume.

Yeah... I don't think that's gonna happen.

 

[I Am The Bat]

I can not read Italian :/

[Oscorp]

Great news, if there will be a secondary villain too (which I think there will). Vulture + Electro sounds great to me. Malkovic = Vulture is even better!

 

[DarthDaveBanner]

So do people prefer this choice to Ben Kingsley?

 

[Oscorp]

Judging by the looks, I'd definitely prefer Ben Kingsley. But I haven't seen him in many movies enough to judge him by his acting skills, so I can't say anything about that.
