The Amazing Spider-Man Official Villian Casting & Discussion Thread

[Spidey-Quad]

Today Raimi let "slip" Spider-Man 4 will have either "A" villain or villains, and he pretty much knows who, it's a matter of how the final script looks.

I say it's Kraven first, and if another is present we finally get Kurt Connors alter-ego the Lizard!

What do you think? Only thing is no "torn" angst allowed!

Tear away!

IM hoping for the Sinister six done in a 2 parter were spidey gets his tail kicked first movie then second one with the help of black cat he wins the day but not before losing Gwen. Kravin and the lizard could be in it i heard that Micky rourke is in talks for a villain could be kravin. I personally wanna see Shocker, Rhino and Scorpion. Looks like they arnt filming 4 and 5 at the same time thoe so i doubt i will get my wish

 

[The Villain]

The Lizard/Kraven or Mysterio perhaps Chameleon.

 

[Immortalfire]

 

[Chewy]

It's gotta be Lizard. Although I'd also be satisfied with Scorpion.

Beyond those two, the only villain that I really think definitely needs to pop up in one of these is Electro

 

[FlawlessVictory]

Definitely Lizard and Kraven. And I'm betting Sony was targeting Rourke to play Kraven.

Raimi already confirmed that SM4/SM5 weren't getting shot back-to-back.

I think at this point everyone wants The Lizard and another villain of their choosing.

I'd love to see Chameleon featured as the main villain, possibly played by John Malkovich. I'd just like to see them play him as a petty thug who causes a stir of bad situations: causes Dr. Connors to turn into The Lizard by forcing him to drink/inject his own formula(that Connors was originally going to have thrown away) due to having Connor's family at gunpoint(wife Martha and son Billy) and have Chameleon really kill Martha to provoke Connor's transformation after figuring that the formula does nothing. It'd like to see the story go down much more like this, this time. Instead of having the sweat and innocent battle with the villain, I'd like to see more tension-filled moments with these films and I'd like to see them put more things on the line than just Mary Jane's life as well as the city's(which Spider-Man has saved all three for about three films now). Hit the fans off-guard with something like-so, and you've got yourselves a pretty good movie, right there.

 

[Spider-Ranger]

Lizliz and Kravey

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

I think it'll be Lizard and Kraven.

 

[Boom]

The potential for the fight scenes speaks for itself.

 

[Troy_Parker]

Lizard and Mysterio

Why, all they have ever been is thugs with masks on. they never had any personal connection with Peter, nor did they really ever do anything to hurt him. Scorpion on the other hand could work as he is spidey's polar opposite, and you could even right in some stuff that he could do to peter. Electro probably wouldn't work either, I mean how do you think public audiences would respond to the electric guy wearing a corny yellow and green suit with ZZZZ's all over it versus Spider-Man.

 

[Carlo Comicus]

I hope Lizard, and maybe the Scorpion.

 

[PumpkinBombxXx]

Shocker, Rhino and Scorpion work as well as Sandman. Sandman sucks in the comics but he was awsome in the movie much better then venom

 

[Hectorminator]

Definitely Lizard and Kraven. And I'm betting Sony was targeting Rourke to play Kraven.

Yup.

Good news is maybe Rourke'll be busy doing Iron Man 2, so that opens it back up for mah boi Gerard Butler.

 

[PumpkinBombxXx]

Gerard would be Perfect for Kravin. I've always wonderd why doesnt Kravin ever hunt Wolverine i think that would be much better then him and spider-man not that i wouldnt want to see him in SM4

 

[NinjaTurtleFan]

Kraven and Lizard is the ideal way to go. If not them then I would pick Vulture, Scoprion, or Mysterio.

But for so much leadup to Lizard, with having Doc Connors in movie 2 and 3 it's time we see the good doctor become his reptillian-scaley counterpart.

 

[PumpkinBombxXx]

What did Raimi mean when he said that the villain will be one of Stan the Mans or after. What others would there be. none before Stan

 

[SpiderRock88]

i would like to have Lizard and Kraven, or Mysterio and Vulture

 

[BrollySupersj]

Give me Lizard, or give me death.

 

[Spidey Snooch]

What did Raimi mean when he said that the villain will be one of Stan the Mans or after. What others would there be.

I think he means they're not gonna create some lame-ass new villain just for the movie. Raimi has always been interested in Spidey's classic baddies, so probably none of the newer ones, either.

 

[Spidey Snooch]

I've been opposed to an "ensemble" villain story cuz I just didn't see how it would work in the movie world. After rereading the Marvel Knights Spider-man saga, I think they could pull it off. Obviously, they would have to do it a little later on so you could establish the villains' back stories. Also, Raimi would have to stop killing everybody off! Seriously, if you've never read this story, pick up the hardback collection. Storytelling at its finest.

 

[Casius--J]

As been suggested by most of you guys I think it'll probably be Lizard and Kraven, if there's two villains to be together in a movie I would say those two fit the best! It could make for a great story having spidey trying to help conners and kraven comes to town for the biggest hunt yet, a man spider and a giant lizard!

 

[dark_b]

i thought that they first writte the story of peter parker and then they add the villains that fit the most to the story?
