It would be neat if Kraven were involved too. Two villains would work fine, especially these two.

Lizard/Kraven would be great. IMO
 
MarketSaw also last week said that a new trilogy of Star Wars movies were going to be made.

Didn't George Lucas have some rough notes on what would be a new trilogy if it was made? I remember reading about it years ago...like 99 maybe lol. Anyway I guess it doesn't really matter in the end :oldrazz:
 
gigity gigity thx kane

While MarketSaw dubs their source “strong,” it’s hard to let go and get super hyped about the news. If the Lizard is indeed the villain, it would certainly allow director Sam Raimi to take the franchise in a better direction. Earlier this month, Raimi was quoted as saying, “What we're trying to do right now is really understand the journey Peter is going to go on this time and have the villain maybe be a counter to that growth, something that he has to overcome.” With Dr. Connors’ relationship with Peter already established he’d be in an optimal position to have an intense effect on Spider-Man while honoring reasonable limitations. If Raimi hopes “to get back to the basics” with Spider-Man 4, The Lizard might be the way to do it.

smart move by Raimi, tbh i really didn't want to see the Lizard with kraven or mysterio. This means more screen time for the Lizard :up: fine by me

The Lizard May Be the Only Villain in SPIDER-MAN 4. Also, Some Sites May Just Make Up News for Traffic



Ugh. This is such a waste of time. I don’t even want to dignify this unsubstantiated ******** about The Lizard being the only villain in “Spider-Man 4″ with a response. No one even knows if The Lizard will even be in Spidey 4 let alone its sole villain. You know how I know this? I know because the script is still being written. I know because the filmmakers are still working out the story. I know because this worthless article also says that “We all pretty much knew it would be The Lizard and/or Carnage…” It wasn’t down to The Lizard and Carnage! Carnage was always a highly unlikely choice seeing as Raimi has no love for Venom/alien symbiote and he wants to go with an old-school villain. At best, you could report that The Lizard being the sole villain in “Spider-Man 4″ is an educated guess. Hit the jump for why I’m sick of this ****.
Yes, you could report that The Lizard being the sole villain in “Spider-Man 4″ based on an educated guess. But you can’t act pretend that you’re a reputable news source and report your guesses as fact. I think that Captain America will fight Red Skull in the “Captain America: The First Avenger” but I don’t report that as news because I have no way of backing that up.
This is why I’m so pissed off at MarketSaw who reported this story. I don’t care how strong they think their source is. This is hit-****ing, plain and simple. Last week they reported that there would be a new “Star Wars” trilogy, a story that crumbled when you thought about it for more than two seconds. But they throw this crap at the wall, see what sticks, and then sites like ours have to waste time making sure you know it’s not true. It’s a waste of time and in the time I spent writing this story, I could have been looking for real news or trying to figure out how to regenerate limbs without turning into a giant angry reptile.
 
Yeah, the fact that Marketsaw said a new Star Wars trilogy was gonna be make has me calling BS on this.

I'm not gonna believe anything now unless it gets posted on SHH's frontpage.
 
well they have been in the know with AVATAR so i wouldnt call it total BS
 
Maybe Frosty from Collider is just butt hurt because he didn't know about this...

The Red Skull comparison is a bit flimsy as of course the first Captain America movie will have Red Skull.

But with SM 4 it could be number of villains in the Spidey villain vault not just the Lizard. So its not as obvious as he is trying to make it appear.

He needs to calm down as movie sites have reported far bigger pieces of "news" that would fall under BS.
 
When it comes to 3-d news and Avatar news , i'd say that MArketsaw is definately a very reliable source. However when you mix other stuff like nn-avatar related movie news, then it's a hit or miss.
FOr example
This is true :
George Lucas is interested in 3-d and he is planning on releasing the original trilogies and maybe the prequels in 3-d sometime in the near future. RIght now he's just waiting till the cost of converting images from 2-d into 3-d drops enough to make it profitable.

This isn't true :
George Lucas is planning to shoot a new star wars trilogy and/or tv series in 3-d

However that doesn't mean that they're always wrong . They have some pretty good reports on the possiblity of the next alien movie being made in 3-d etc.


Also i don't think the lizard appearing in the next spidey movie should come off as a surprise. This probabaly will be Raimi's last spider-man movie as the director and he along with tobey have always wanted to use the Lizard as the villain. It does make sense that they would get their way with the villain this time around.
I forgot to mention that Collider is saying that the script is being written and therefore the lizard rumor can be debunked.
But SPider-man 2 began shooting with a incomplete script , but there was a villain cast.
 
I don't trust these sources yet. But IF it will only be Lizard, I'll be very disappointed! I don't want Spidey to only fight a monster, I want a more human villain to be there too for some better interaction.
 
"Hi,Its me...come on guess....Yeah! Spider-Man. Wow! Im surprised to see so many of you. After my last movie,I didnt think any of you would show. So youre probally wondering what my life is like now? Well.its ****!!! Mr Ditkovich,my landlord has died and Ive been kicked out of my apartment. His emacaited daughter has become a ****e,just in case youre wondering. Me and MJ has decided to just be friends,and she is in another relationship,yet again. As the Bugle as hit recession,I only get payed 5 bucks a day. Luckily my job as a lab assistant with Dr Connors adds on an extra $2:50 to my 5 bucks. Aunt May sadly developed senile dementia and thinks shes a dog. Ontop of all that I got piles the size of fists. Well enjoy the movie".

Raimi...please dont make it like that.

Wouldn't be too bad :cwink:
 
don't know how reliable these sources but they're saying the Lizard will be the villain and the ONLY villain see for yourselves......

oh sorry my bad but exciting news nonetheless. i actually hope this is true and ontop of this maybe a cameo or cliffhanger of some villain returns. maybe a Venom cliffhanger to set up the spin off. or a Doc Ock cliffhanger for his return. either way i'm happy as long as their is no lame Kraven or Mysterio.

No...just no.
 
No...just no.

^agreed. Doc is dead, and should stay that way. The only spidey villian it would make any sense to bring back is sand man because he is the only one that didnt die. That said, i really hope he doesn't come back because it just doesn't seem like there is a purpose for that...

... they could possibly bring back Harry... The audience never saw the name on the tombstone in the end of SM3 so it may have been Eddie Brocks funeral. again, that said, i dont think this should happen because they turned harry into a "ridiculous-Twoface-lookalike-flying-surfboard-ninja with a lazy eye":doh:

agreed
 
I think people underestimate the potential of mysterio.

mysterio using illusions can;

* place spider-man in any time
* place spider-man in any place
* pit him against any villian (robotics)
* mimic his (spidey's) powers

you could get epic vista's, epic battles, when you think about it the sky is the limit with mysterio.

picture this

mysterio is robbing a bank, spidey shows up 'that reminds me I've got to clean my fish tank'
next minute spidey is being chased by a t-rex 1 million years BC
spidey - ''WHAT THE?!'

closing battle spidey takes on robotic villian after robotic villian
 
I was thinking Mysterio would only be a sideplot and not the main villian . I don't imagine they woul do that with Johnny Depp. Maybe he could play Dr. Strange.


I agree, like in the Spider-man 2 game.
