The Amazing Spider-Man Official Villian Casting & Discussion Thread

[Rodrigo90]

I recommend Matthew Lillard for Carnage. Watch Scream and youll understand,when he flips out in the end convinced me.

 

[mothy]

i'd like to see black cat at some stage. a cameo at least. i think that has the potential to be interesting.

 

[conan69]

Kraven & The Lizard work perfectly together.
Kraven comes to NYC to hunt the 2 most dangerous game on the planet - Spiderman and Lizard.How Raimi doesnt get this is beyond me.

It also makes perfect sense to use Lizard with Kraven since as said, most people never really considered Kraven to be a really threatening villian. Put the 2 together and you have a good setup for a entertaining film.

We're going on the 4th movie and STILL no Lizard???

I think Steve would make an interesting Mysterio.

I can actually see him as Mysterio, and I think he'd be a good one.

 

[BillyD]

I'd love to see Gerard Butler as Kraven...and what is the name of that Donnie guy from "Bully?" I think he'd make an awesome Kletus Kassidy

 

[The Jester]

I think a premise like this for Mysterio would be quite interesting:

Mary Jane is part of a broadway or a movie with of course Quentin Beck as director/special effects master. Quentin Beck personally asks MJ to audition for the lead and gives it to her because deep down he has a strong obsession with her.

He sees how she's always encountering Spider-man, and that creates a jealousy that makes Quentin set out to prove to himself that he can just be as good as spider-man.

This is the part where he poses as spider-man, being able to briefly mimic his powers. He ends up being humiliated and rediculed by the public and feels embarrassed that MJ had to see this.

This leads to his final transformation into Mysterio. He no longer strives to be a hero, but more or less a god in his own eyes. I personally think it would be awesome for him to create a 'palace' in the middle of New York City where he forces MJ to be his queen.

 

[anrrd_2]

^ add to that that the play is about MJ and Spiderman... mysterio can use that against him/her later in the flick. an epic fight between spidey and a bunch of illusions of himself

 

[Rodrigo90]

Steve would be a great Mysterio. I always liked that Mysterio was a weak man,but almost impossible to get to. The way Mysterio should be portrayed is an all poweful mysterious menace. Steve is somebody that you wouldn't imagine as Mysterio and that makes it better.

HIM? Capable of all this...who wouldve thought?

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

I think Steve would make an interesting Mysterio.

Yeah, defenitely a great choice if yuo ask me. An awesome actor overall.

 

[Rodrigo90]

A good element. Mysterio having a vivid imagine would be cool. So much that he creates (at least in mind) a fortress from the the Empire State. Him and MJ could be like beauty and the beast (retrospect). Ann and Kong...Only Mysterio is deluded to believe he has a chance,lol.

I think Jacobs Ladder would make good inspiration. A psychological story for Spider-Man. In Jacobs Ladder,you dont whats going to happen next or who to trust or what was really happening to him. Peter thinking hes going mad and waking up in one of Mysterios illusions, to see people from the past movies who have died still alive...then BOOM! they turn into hellish versions that torment Peter,till he snaps out of it. But as we know... HE WILL KICK MYSTERIOS ASS IN THE END,lol.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

I wish they would say what direction they're going, its so hard trying to choose from villians.

 

[Marx]

Let's keep the discussion civil and respectful guys. There's no reason for the attitudes.

 

[SymbioticToxin]

I'm not saying they'll ahve him for a 4th one, but do you think Raimi would ever consider putting..whats his name, Morlun? Yeah, him, dod you think he'd put him in the film series? Or Hydro-man, or someone other villain less known.

 

[Jick]

Morlun's story is kinda complicated, with Ezekiel and the totem and all of that stuff. I like the character, but I don't want to see him so early, and I don't think Sam would use him. He likes the classics, as we know.

 

[SymbioticToxin]

True true. Inunderstand that, but I'm taking into fact that Raimi has a thing for supernatural, and Morlun adn Ezekial adn all that are pretty supernatural. I could see Raimi doing a movie with that though. But I'm ok with the classics. Hell, I'll even be happy if he, for some unearthly reason, goes with Molten Man. But not the Walrus. I'll beat someone if Raimi ever wanted to make him the villain...I'm sorry, what were we talking about?

I think if Mysterio was being use as a villain, his background in film & stage shouldn't be so obvious; and definitely, shouldn't have any connection to MJ.

Did you ever read the Daredevil storyline Guardian Devil? I love the ending with Mysterio's speech, where he briefly talks about critically acclaimed directors and how the name 'Quentin Beck' never stood out to anyone.

 

[SymbioticToxin]

Thats what he should be. Begrudged director who nobody knew, nobody cared about, and nobody knew would try to exact revenge.

 

[Rodrigo90]

I just see him psychotic,with a vivid imagination. Expert in creativity on all different subjects. Technological expert and chemist. I do think to make it more understandable and easy,he steals drugs and weapons from Oscorp.

I like it up to that point. I don't really think Oscopr really exists anymmore in the movieverse, considering Norman and Harry are pushin daisys at the moment.

 

[Rodrigo90]

True. Its best to stay clear. What with the Osborns dead and Oscorp being exposed as the culprit to aiding and abetting the Goblins,lol.

Mysterio is best on his own. But it would be interesting to see him using Weapons and Machines to his cause,Im sure with all his resources he can turn anything into danger. Real or Illusion.

 

[SymbioticToxin]

Well, now that I'm thinking about it, he could work for Oscorp. He could be a worker with a penchant for the abnormal and all that good stuff, and creates technology to aid him in being a superhero to get a name for himself, like he tried to do in the comics. And the tech could cause hallucinations and he could customize some of the goblin stuff (if he somehow finds it) for his get-up.

Thank goodness my teacher lets me on the internet, or I'd be in trouble right now.

 

[GoldGoblin]

MJ wants a serum like Harry did,so she can help spidey out with future villains,but the formula makes her go crazy over time and she becomes a villain.
