The Amazing Spider-Man Official Villian Casting & Discussion Thread

[Immortalfire]

I always wanted a opening sequence in one of the movies to be Shocker robbing a bank and then Spidey stops him.

I mentioned this very thing on the Hype Cast

 

[BlackLantern]

I say steal the subplot from the SM3 game....introduce the Lizard and bring in Kraven the Hunter......make Kraven a big reality TV star....kind of like a pissed off Crocodile Hunter.....

 

[rayc1971]

the way gerald butler looked in 300 he would be a hell of a good kraven the hunter!

 

[Arcturus]

Actually, the thing in my avatar is from a music video titled Windowlicker, it's from Aphex Twin.

As for the topic, Walrus must be in Spider-Man 4. Also, a cameo by Stilt-Man is a must.

 

[SpaceWay2009]

^LOL! Oh, sorry. That guy's face reminds me of someone from Spy Kids 2.

 

[Arcturus]

No worries.

 

[bullets]

There are so many others I look forward to seeing over spot. that would throw everyone for a loop if he did that though.

 

[Chris Wallace]

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.

He hasn't been considered, and with good reason.

 

[The Slang]

I like the idea. The spots never been appreciated for his potential. Instantaneous travel? The creating of wormholes by will? How is that not cool?

He could use some touching up though. He should fight like 'night crawler' in x-men 2, only less animalistic. And throw in a touch of 'Dr Manhattan' from the watchmen for his appearance.

And yes, he should get his abilities while experimenting with teleportation/time dilation portals. They should draw some inspiration from the philadelphia experiment.

 

[Gladiator]

He hasn't been considered, and with good reason.

I couldn't agree with you more. Enough of wanting everything in that crappy animated series brought to the big screen.

 

[D-Man22]

How about Tombstone for a villain in spidey 4?

 

[Chris Wallace]

How about Tombstone for a villain in spidey 4?

I don't completely hate that idea, but I'm not crazy about it either. I think they need to stick with Spidey's headliners, not the little-knowns or anybody who was actually part of a team called the Legion of Losers.

 

[chaseter]

The Kangaroo!

 

[Spider-Vader]

They should use the Walrus, he hasn't been considered.

LOL. I actually think they should as a joke. Have him robbing a bank & then have Spidey just start laughing at him & KOing him.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

Let's stick to the classic villains for now.

 

[The Geek Vault]

I'd want to see Gargan working for JJJ maybe. if they use Kraven and Lizard, I'd want Kraven brought in to take out the Lizard, not to hunt spider-man. Spider-man then goes to help lizard becasue he knows it is Kurt. The public sees spidey defending Lizard and views him as a villain.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

I want to see Scorpion in SM5 with maybe Electro or Mysterio.

 

[Mutagen]

Seeing Scorpion would be amazing, he could be the Venom we got so little of in SM3, I mean in terms of the Web-Head's opposite, but I would rather Rhino than Electro and Mysterio.

 

[Figs]

I'm liking a lot of these villian suggestions and scenarios. I hope Raimi and crew deliver the goods with this next film.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

I'm not sure If I like Rhino in a movie. I think he should be used as maybe a minor villain. A lot of people want SM4 to open with Spider-Man fighting off a villain. I think Rhino or Shocker could be that villian.

 

[SymbioticToxin]

Rhino can't really hold his own in a movie, IMO, nor could Shocker really. The character would have to be done the same way like Sandman, which would piss me off like nobodies business. With the whole 'he really killed uncle ben' and such. Urgh...wait, what were we talking about?

 

[Mutagen]

I don't think the Rhino could carry a full movie, but I can see him being in the last bit of the film, as a huge boss battle, Rhino being like the unstoppable Juggernaut, and Spider-man doing all he can, but to no avail.

 

[Eelectro 2]

i don't know how much they could really do with shocker. i could see them making one amazing fight scene, pushing the character to his limits, but past that one scene what could he possibly offer? i could see him either breaking out of prison or doing what he does best (robbing) but we've seen that scenario in almost all the spidey movies so far. personally i think seeing him break out of, lets say, rykers would be pretty damn cool. how he made his gauntlets would be up to the movie makers i guess.

i still feel that using scorpion, rhino, mysterio, vulture, chameleon and electro in a 2-part sinister 6 movie would be the best use for all these villains. honestly i dont' really see any of them carrying an entire movie on their own.

- rhino would obviously be the strength but hes dumb so theres only so much he could smash through before it got overused. altho i think if they did use him he should do ten times the damage we saw juggernaut inflict in X3. a battering ram with a horn is his only real threat aside from brute strength.

- mysterio doesn't really make much of a threat past his illusions. it they used his holocubes or something like it he could really mentally screw with peter- puttin ghim in these situations where he thinks he might die. something like a building looking like its falling on him or hes on fire- something just to stall him from something that is going on or to throw him off. same goes for chameleon. he would pretty much just be a decoy undercover kind of bad-guy. he couldnt' carry a whole movie but he could be in it for the majority of it totally unaware that it is him. make him a super spy.


- vulture could be the unofficial leader of the group. i'd still like to see ben kingsley in the role too! he could be the old man looking for vengeance, riches or whatever they decide to use to make this group come together. he could be one of the last remaining people linked to oscorp and its technology so him being responsible for their suits could easily make sense. plus it would allow norman osborn to haunt peter again mentally without it actually being him. as far as his weapons go i wouldnt' want to see anything like what the goblins used but the way that they made vulture in the web of shadows game would be a great new approach to the design.

- scorpion could be the craziest of the group. he's somewhat equal to spidey in terms of what he can do and where he can go, plus if they make him crazy than that allows his character to really go off the deep end. i think his costume being a combination of both green goblins suit and ocks tentacles would be a very interesting take on the character. i think using the spiked hook as well as maybe acid of some sort would be cool to see. clawed gloves and boots that way him climbing on walls isnt' just him sticking to them.

- finally i think electro would be the wildcard. not entirely part of the group, he woudlnt' really want anything to do with them, but in the end (in my mind the 2nd movie) he would be the real big threat. he could be the character that we would be following throughout the 2 movies like how they did with norman or octavius in the first 2 movies. coming to terms with his powers, realizing what he is capable of, becoming more and more energy than human. the first time we see him with powers he could not even realize what he can do, then he starts finding out what he can do and by the end he could drain the city of its energy or being able to transfer through power lines.

the rest of the villains could be mainly used for maybe one fight scene each aside from being all together in one big fight. but ultimately they would (in the big fight) start fighting each other and make it easier for spider-man to come out the victor. over the course of 2 films and 6 villains theres plenty of potential for some epic stuff.

 

[Sentinel X]

Rhino looks so corny in the comics (in all honesty) but in my mind's eye I can just imagine how awesome he could look (if only I could draw or do computer animations!)...and I can also imagine some seriously awesome fight scenes between Spider-man and Rhino.

Of course as a character I wouldnt mind if they altered him a bit and made him tougher and meaner instead of a big joke but I see the potential in him where others dont...beleive it or not (A few years ago I probably wouldve laughed my ass off at anyone who concidered Rhino but now I think he would be pretty cool)

BUT Mysterio is the villain I'd really like to see, he'd be awesome. Scorpion would be pretty cool too!

 

[Mutagen]

I would like to see Scorpion and Rhino, but I have a sneaking suspicion that it's going to be Kraven and The Lizard as the next villains. So many people are rooting for it, I would not be surprised, as well as I would not be disappointed.
