The Amazing Spider-Man Official Villian Casting & Discussion Thread

[Jokah Mon]

I will definitely get flamed for this, but I think, if done in the way they brought Dr. Octopus to the screen, with science behind it, my favorite Spider-Man villain would be a great choice for the next movie. Who am I talking about? Spot, of course. Think about it. He could work the same way Sandman did. An untouchable villain. Always slipping away, just out of reach. I know he's not really a top villain, but I think it could work, after all, he has awesome powers, and the special effect would be incredible.

Aw, I'll throw some love out for Spot.

I don't think he's mainstream enough to be in the movie though. I love him, but I don't think so.

The thing is...
We don't have many movies ahead (3 is probably the limit) and there are more interesting villains to be used. They have to choose wisely. I wouldn't risk that with Spot. He's a villain I'd like to see in the cartoon.

 

[ross2287]

SM4 needs to at least have Lizard. Yeah, he could carry his own movie but it makes sense to have Kraven be in there too.

 

[Jick]

Lizard carrying an entire movie?
It's hard to imagine. As much as I like him, I don't believe he has potential to do that, nor can I imagine it. There needs one more villain.

Why does it have to be the Lizard? Just because Conners was in number 3? I need a better angle than that. Still I shouldn't complain too much, I'd rather the Lizard than Kraven, visually.

Connors was in SM2 and SM3. They can easily connect Peter/Dr.Connors through the college. Plus, the Lizard is due for his movie. They originally were going to have him in SM2 untill they decided to use Doc Ock.

Like I said, I need more of an angle. I mean, if they hinted at it in the other movies I would be more for it, but they didn't and they've left the door open. There are so many possibilities for new villains that don't have that Dr. Jekyll / Mr. Hyde routine again.

As well, I see the character in movie Doc Ock as the perfect template for the Lizard now, minus the energy ball equipment and stuff. Kinda looks repeated in my eyes.

Tell me this much would you be disappointed if they chose another villain? It's like the Lizard is being forced into the movie.

It doesn't have to be, but it seems like it's time for him to be introduced.

How so?

Ock was trying to fulfill his scientific destiny. Connors is simply trying to regrow his missing arm. Ock was a scientific idol to Peter. Connors is a friend. Two completely different relationships.

Ock's wife died as a result of him becoming a villain. He had no family to consider. Connors' wife and kid get put in danger when he becomes a villain.

The Lizard presents a whole new story and theme.

 

[SpiderRock88]

^ very true, but for some reason i can imagine the Lizard only having a cameo in 4 and have him set up for Spidey 5, OR they may do something like TDK did for Harvey Dent, Progress Connors character almost though out the movie then have in trasnform into the Lizard and either kill the Lizard which means connors as well so He beats Spidey so bad he escapes, but i dont think people would want a cliff hanger at this point lol

 

[SpiderRock88]

i dont think they would bring him back. Theres just too many [classic] villains to use

I can see the Lizard, had he been the villain, in the movie, being those things. If they put Conners exactly like Ock it wouldn't be very smart, they changed it to make Ock the villain. Now I don't know if they were going to make the Lizard the way Ock was presented, but I can picture it.

Sounds interesting, but I'll wait until tomorrow, just in case of a trick of the day.

This is bad in so many levels.
No way would I believe that.

 

[SymbioticToxin]

Mind if I rant for a bit? Seeing as this is my first post here.

To me, the likely choices are Hobgoblin, Kraven, Lizard, Electro, or Vulture.

I don't agree with Hobgoblin because they ruined the goblins in the movie with new goblin, which was terrible. Kraven would make sense if they have Lizard, but iof they don't then there really is no point in my opinion. Electro would be alright, but people from my understanding think he's to close to Dr. Doom with his powers, but Doom was terrible in the FF movies, but they weren't really good anyways. Vulture was SUPPOSED to be in SM3, but was taken out. I think he would do well in it with another villain. Lizard is a lieky choice because of Conner's being in the last 2 films, and the fact that it would make some sorta sense.

And just in case someone thinks this: NO carnage. He would not fit well in the Spidey Movie-wevre. Save him for the Venom Spinoff, thats it.

 

[roni14]

Honestly, I don't want the Lizard. I never liked him.
I'd like to see throughout the franchise (in no particular order):
Mysterio
Electro
Kingpin (Thanks for ruining him, Daredevil).
Black Cat
Scorpion
Jackal w/ Spider Clones
Shocker
and that's it, off the top of my head, anyway.

 

[SymbioticToxin]

Kingpin I thought was good in Daredevil, mostly cause hes the only thing I liked about the movie. Micheal Clarke Duncan is pretty good at being a big guy who can kick you ass, lol

I'd be alright with Jackal, without the clones. I don't think they'd fit well. But Scorpion adn Shocker I would love to see.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

Absolutely. You've introduced the character in the last two movies. He now has that relationship with Peter that you can mold together into a story. The Lizard isn't being forced into the movie, he's just the most logical villian that makes sense. You have the character right in front of you. Why waste the opportunity of a classic villain? It's what Raimi wants to use.

Ugh. I hope that's an April Fools Day prank. I do not want Morbius and Spidey turning into Man-Spider.

 

[sPiDeRmAn2o29]

exactly.

lets look how x-men worked out

-Angel as a throw away character
-the death of xavier
-the death of scott summers
-wolverine saving the day... YET AGAIN

I rest my case

Lets not forget that brett ratner is at fault for that, not bryan singer. X-men 1 and 2 were highly successful films, especially the sequel. So dont rest your case with such weak statements and points. Why is it that people bury the franchise and bash the director once the third film bombs ? I swear batman 3 is next and instead of praising chris nolan everyone is going to be bashing him... its so retarted.

The date clearly states april 1st and I already read the one about carnage and kirsten saying that her character was never well liked and will die lol.

#1 SPIDER-MAN 4 & 5: VILLAINS REVEALED!

Last week, director Sam Raimi revealed that on Spider-Man 3, he didn't have complete control over what villains to include, but for the next two movies he does. For Spider-Man 4 and Spider-Man 5 (which are expected to film back-to-back) it's now been revealed that Raimi plans to tell one big story that will incorporate elements from classic plot lines from the comics, with Spider-Man 5 in particular focusing on one of Spidey's most beloved tales. In Spider-Man 4, Peter Parker will find the spider inside him lashing out, with his powers going violently out of control. Seeking help from his professor, Dr. Curt Connors, Peter discovers that Connors and his colleague Dr. Michael Morbius are actually both experimenting on incorporating animal blood (reptiles and vampire bats) into humans. When Parker loses control in their laboratory, the antidotes that the scientists were using to keep themselves human are destroyed, causing them to become The Lizard and the vampire-like Morbius, even as Spidey goes fully spider, with four more arms popping out like a true arachnid. The three monsters break out into the streets of New York, creating havok, which soon attracts the attention of a big game hunter named Kraven. Kraven's introduction will pave the way for Spider-Man 5, which may have the subtitle Kraven's Last Hunt, in which Kraven returns to New York City after Spider-Man has regained his humanity, to hunt Spidey once more.


Sam already told us that the script is due in the summer and its up to sony on when they want to reveal it. Odds that he did it on april 1st... well you have a better chance of a spider coming out of your butt singing kombaya then that happening.

Wont be hobgoblin, he isnt part of the spider-man classic villians. Sam said that he is not interested in the 80's or 90's villians. The only one that got lucky was venom.
