The Amazing Spider-Man Official Villian Casting & Discussion Thread

Did anyone play the Spider-Man 2 video game? Black Cat was awesome in that game.

I bet BC will kidnap MJ...

that actually sounds kinda hot

 

[mre]

I bet Spider-Man will do the upside down kiss with BC. Or maybe they will change it up, and have BC upside down, and Spidey upright.

He IS a white character. Not black. All your characters who you used as an example are black characters in appearance. This guy is white. Very white.

There's no way you're able to do it with makeup. White tints well to a darker color. But a dark color doesn't tint well to white pale tones.

Even if it was possible to do it without it looking crappy, why would they even bother to do it in the first place if they can grab a white actor and save money in FX? It's not like the comics actually showed him to have black features. Guy looks like a friggin' vampire, not a black guy gone white...

though, you do make some valid points

you did kinda lose me on this part (the lines in bold), cause, as you said, he is a very white looking character, beyond just looking like a white guy, or even albino for that matter, he is white, like grayscale, white...

so, anyone they cast in the role, white, black or whoever, would still need the make up, FX, treatment

just saying


but, with that said, I really don't care either way, infact I was going to suggest, Garret Dillahunt, myself

That guy actually reminds me more of Morbius...

 

[mre]

Are they really going to be looking to save money in a movie like Spider-Man 4 though?
I mean... let's be honest here, they are going to throw as much money into this possible, and it will still make a huge profit.

 

[Rick Random]

Okay,

Mysterio - a genuine possibility.

Electro - the same.

Hobgoblin - no

Carnage - definetly not

Shocker - just a second-rate Electro

Vulture - missed his chance, his story was done with Venom

Chemeleon - possible

Kraven - possibly though seems somewhat unlikely

Rhino - doubt it

Morbius - possible but hard to see Sony mising in horror themes

Scorpion - visually too similar to Doctor Octopus but with only one apendage

Lizard - genuine contender although was passed over for Spidey 2

Raimi always says how the villain of the story connects to Peter's journey. SO going out on a limb, I predict the villain will be Mysterio and the theme will be Peter learning about trust.

 

[Jick]

Shocker is not a second-rate Electro. He projects concentrated vibrational air blasts, not electricity.
And he can be even greater in a movie than Electro. Electric powers has been a lot explored into movies already.
Electro can present a new dynamic, but it won't be something new, either way.

 

[Venom'sDad]

Sam may go with more realistic villains that are easily explained or done, like a Shocker and the technology invovled(Shocker Gloves).

 

[Paroxysm]

or vulture because he flies!!!

 

[Sebastos]

I'd love to see Vulture.

 

[Heyparker]

I'd love to see Vulture.

Ditto. Especially with a top notch actor?? Gotta make that happen.

 

[Hobgoblin]

I would be happy seeing Electro, Mysterio, Kraven, Chameleon, Vulture or Lizard.
They seem the most interesting to me and could carry a movie. Of those, the best would be Mysterio, Chameleon, Vulture and Lizard.

 

[bubbadoom]

Well we are getting a Ditko villain, so I am sure some of you above will be happy...

Where is Molten?
It's a great, tragic, drammatic characters and villain.
It's perfect for the Spider-Man franchise.

 

[Sebastos]

David Strathairn would be my choice.

 

[crimsonspider89]

Raimi is casting a red headed little boy for some role. Maybe a flashback involving Cletus?

 

[Sebastos]

Please no.

 

[zeptron]

Raimi is casting a red headed little boy for some role. Maybe a flashback involving Cletus?

No..just no.

 

[mre]

Yeah besides, the role of Cletus is already been filled by Aunt May.

 

[crimsonspider89]

LOL, just saying. Maybe Max, was he a red head? Anyway, some of us want Cletus as the villain. I mean, he did have his own crossover saga with Iron Fist and Captain America.

 

[Sebastos]

True he did, but I don't want him in SM4.

 

[Michael Frost]

They would, yes, but it's alot more expensive to turn a black guy pale white than a white guy to pale white. It's alot easier if you're skin is already white. That's all I'm saying. And I'm not being racist either! It's just a matter of physical logistics.

Of course they have ****loads of money to spend in making a movie, but think about it: if you had a specific budget for a Spidey flick that you have to distribute in FX, would you spend it on the normal human villain or on the other villains that need that extra boost like, say, Lizard for example? I would save some bucks and get a white guy with a quick makeup job rather than invest in his looks. In the end, it's all about the performance really.
