The Amazing Spider-Man Official Villian Casting & Discussion Thread

[Spider-ManHero12]

Kingsley is a great actor, and he definitely looks like the Vulture.

Very true! He won the Academy award for his role as Ghandi.

I'm so jealous right now. I wish I could have a failed website and create faux news reports. Damn.

I can't believe Raimi's top choices are:
-Black Cat
-Kingpin,can't use him so Tombstone
-Kraven
^
Doesn't this tell you that we need a new director...

Are we sure they can't use Kingpin? Does Fox still own the writes to Daredevil? Last I heard Fox was rushing to make a new F4 movie, so that they would not lose the rights back to Marvel. Daredevil came out in 2003, F4 2 came out in 2007

I think they're just reporting on the rumors, or they just thought that it was true.

That's exactly what I think.

 

[He-Man]

Exactly

 

[FilmNerdJamie]

Plenty of times I've heard people on the radio reported a rumor as fact. It happens.

True but it was reported on the SHH homepage a few days ago that she may be up for the role. So its not like this is breaking news or anything.

If it's true, my enthusiasm for SM-4 has dramatically dropped.

I can't stand Black Cat.

Same here.

 

[VenomVsSpidey]

and in other news, I have been casted as Captain America in the avengers movie

 

[bubbadoom]

at least the main villain a DITKO villain!

 

[Spidermanfan]

if they loose the rights, that would sort of be a good thing...

 

[venom892]

I believe since Elektra was used the rights were extended.

 

[mothy]

if it's true, i've got no problems with it.

 

[mre]

How many villian/black cat threads do we need?

 

[mre]

I believe since Elektra was used the rights were extended.

Forgot about the Elektra movie. I guess that makes sense.

 

[bubbadoom]

SM4 will have a Ditko villain, so do not worry...

 

[Spider-Vader]

Black Cat in a film just by herself will suck.

 

[Spider-Fan]

Black Cat won't be the only villain, but I do agree if her purpose is to tempt, than she has no business in this film as Peter is not developing. Though Gwen I don't think tempted Peter so much as Peter used her cause MJ saw it that way, but we still covered the Peter and another girl ground. I think, while this is a rumor, it is one with merit. I think Black Cat at this point can be chalked up as in the movie. The only questionable part (in regard to the story) is if McAdams plays her to me. I think if she is up for it, it's probably hers to lose since she is gaining steam. But, I can also see her not ending up with it for a variety of reasons.

Plus, there is the possibility she is an ally, which would make this another crowded movie. Thus, I think that would be a mistake. Less is more, so please just have Peter and 2 villains. Not 2 villains and a buddy.

I'm more interested to see if Vulture is the other villain right now. That would validate that one story's plot outline for the film and we'd have somewhat of an idea of what to expect.

 

[FaT_tONle]

I say just let MJ/Pete break up at the end. It could set up the new trilogy nicely. Explore new relationships, love interests, etc. They can resurrect most of villains IMO and it could essentially be a sequel/reboot all in one.

 

[DACMAN]

This already has him as Mystero.

The James Bond series has been getting away with it for over 40 years. I mean, seriously, some of these villains can't carry their own movie. I can't imagine 2 hours of Smythe and Spider-Slayers. Where exactly would you go with that?

Yes they have, but most James Bond movies now connect the beginning to the plot in someway. Casino Royale, Bond's first kill made him a 00 agent. Thus, not wasted. It also set the mood for Craig's Bond. Quantum of Solace, the beginning car chase directly led to an interrogation. These were not wasted moments, and this has been more the norm for Bond in recent years. Just having a villain to get crushed doesn't add anything but eye candy. It would have to connect with the plot in some capacity. Otherwise, we lost several minutes of character development, and that can be the difference between a well developed and under developed film.

Yeah, it would be such a waste to spend time showing that Spider-man actually does stuff instead of sitting around and waiting for the next big villain to threaten the entire city and Mary Jane.

We already know he does. By this point in the series, we've seen him be Spider-Man for various purposes and random crimes. But, the random crimes in SM1 and SM2 had PURPOSE to the main plot. They didn't put the violence in there just to have an action beat. The story was going somewhere. Now, look at SM3. That film needed more character moments and less action. Do you want to waste screentime and character development in a follow up to a film that was under developed? I'd rather they get back to emphasis on character myself. Let the film breathe. No pointless action just for kicks.

 

[Spider-Fan]

But, imdb also had Rosemary Harris as Carnage at one point. Not a credible source.

 

[Spider-Fan83]

what about him as hammer head

 

[Fresh Prince]

Was Ultimate Spiderman comics even good?...Also wasn't it in an alternative universe retelling Spiderman's orgins?
