The Amazing Spider-Man Official Villian Casting & Discussion Thread

[Rodrigo90]

What the HELL is Sam playing at?. This movie will be the death of Stan Lee.

After seeing Batman and Robin,Bob Kane died. Shumacer shouldve been charged with Manslaughter.

At this point I prefer they use the fake script test by David Lindsay Abaire.

I think I would prefer Mysterio as the main villain instead. Raimi needs to learn comics. This is worse than Nanite Fury in MUA2.

What it is?

I hope Lizard eats the Vultress

 

[Ace of Knaves]

He's not, he's being sarcy

 

[bullets]

Yeah sorry i thought he was being serious. This is just a bad time .

 

[Carlo Comicus]

New rumor: Anne Hathaway it's Blackie Drago!!! :P

 

[terry78]

People were saying that Nolan should create his own villain for the Bat-films, so how would this be any different?

 

[FaT_tONle]

Nolan wasn't doing no Jokeress last time I checked.

 

[terry78]

Harley Quinn may as well be.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Who was saying Nolan should create his own villain? Whoever said that is silly in the brain pan considering Batman has one of the richest rogues galleries ever.

And I'm sure Nolan wouldn't just do a complete rehash of his old stories but change some things on the surface like it appears what is happening here.

This has gotta be fake. It's GOTTA BE!!

 

[DocHoliday]

I am okay with the changes as long as the acting and story are solid. Is it pointless to change the Black Cat to Vulturess? Probably, but maybe it turns out okay like Ducard and R'as al Ghul being combined. With that said I can't argue with Anne Hathaway or John Malkovich being in the film, both are fantastic.

 

[crimsonspider89]

I hope it is. I think MUA2 shows the backlash from creating your own character in a movie/video game based on comics. Seriously, bad idea. I mean, Spidey has a lot of Rogues to use.

 

[FaT_tONle]

Sony probably felt they can't rip off Catwoman.

^ batman 3 seems less and less likely so who cares lol

Has nothing to do with anything. People know who Catwoman is... it is too similar.

Harley Quinn may as well be.

The fanboys were clamoring for Harley... not Nolan, which is irrelevant because Nolan didn't make her up anyhow. If he was going to change the character fans would be all over him, but he still has the trust factor so he'd be given the benefit of the doubt. Raimi lost a lot of credibility after his latest outing.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Why does Batman 3 seem less and less likely? You think there won't be a follow up to one of the highest grossing movies of all time? C'mon...

 

[Jick]

What happened to Ben Kingsley?
Well...I think I'll be okay with Malkovich.

 

[Octoberist]

edit

 

[Agent 194]

Malkovich would be a great villain. As I said elsewhere he's the only person who's crazier than the notion of a person flying around with wings. What a dark guy. And when I'm saying that....

But it begs the question....what happened to the Lizard? Why have we been teased with that during the last movies for?

Plot:

1) Mr. Hardy / the Vulture gets hired as the new Daily Bugle editor.

2) His daughter is Felicia Hardy, who frequently hangs around the office, and develops a strong attraction to Daily Bugle top photographer Peter Parker.

3) After falling in love with Peter, she discovers his other identity as Spider-Man.

4) Spider-Man battles Vulture, Vulture dies somehow.

5) Felicia blames Peter for the death of her father (Harry anyone?) and becomes the Vulturess (Green Goblin II anyone?)

6) Spider-Man takes down the other gendered Vulture too, but he has an emotional connection to this villain, different than anyone before.

Dun, Dun, Dun!!!

Typical Sam... t:

 

[zeptron]

Come back Gus Gorman and Nuclear Man. All is forgiven.

 

[Figs]

I don't mind the choice of Malkovich for Vulture but having Felicia Hardy become a character called the Vulturess sounds absolutely lame.

I don't like being a fanboy type but this is a change/deviation from the comics that is just stupid. I hope this is a rumour that gets debunked. I had hopes for Raimi to redeem the series but this doesn't bode well.

Oh yeah, MarvelMovies little synopsis guess is most likely dead on with what the actual movie could turn out to be.

 

[Dr.Dude]

People were saying that Nolan should create his own villain for the Bat-films, so how would this be any different?

Hahaha, ah, yes, I remember the whole "Red Baron" fiasco. Those were some really fun, really hilarious rumors, back before Batman Begins came out.

I'm going to go ahead and say that I believe this rumor is probably on just the same level as those "Red Baron" rumors though, or Aunt Carnage, or the supposed script review of SM3 that said the villains were Kraven and the Chameleon.

Now admittedly, I love all three Spider-Man movies so far. Honestly, though, even if you're not a fan, you should be able to admit that while there's been various changes throughout the series, it never went even close to this level. You can complain about Venom but he was still Eddie Brock and he still had very similar motivations to the comic book character--he just was underused. Flint Marko was Sandman, Otto Octavius was Dr. Octopus and both Osborns turned into Goblins.

Now if this were true, it'd be absolutely ridiculous and would probably be a franchise killer. Though I do love the idea of Malkovich as the Vulture and I am crossing my fingers that we might see that character (the REAL character, not "Mr.Hardy") in this next movie, since the Vulture is one of my all time favorite Spider-Man villains.
