The Amazing Spider-Man Official Villian Casting & Discussion Thread

[NewYorkSpider]

I'm starting to think that the villains are going to be The Lizard and Electro.

 

[TheScarecrow]

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.

Remember though that Raimi has creative control this time. The last time he included a villain simply because of popular demand it didn't end well for him. I've only heard Raimi rave about three potential villains: Morbius, The Lizard and Electro.

I think the symbiote's going to return

 

[MarvelFanClub]

i hope carnage or hob goblin is in this

 

[weezerspider]

Lizard and Kraven seems pretty popular. I'd like that.

 

[SymbioticToxin]

I'd be happy if they had Lizard and Kraven, sorta happy if they have Rhino, Morbius, or HobGoblin, but I'd love to see Scoprion, or maybe Molten Man, or Beetle, or maybe even The Enforcer and possibly The Big Man. I wouldn't mind seeing Spidey go up against a group instead of a single person, know what I mean. But I tend to dream too much.

I'm hoping for the lizard and kraven the hunter as the villains they could both work well.I would also support the idea of the Scorpion being one of the villains he could be another intresting pick.I can't see Morbius or electro working as a villain,they just don't seem like the type of villains that could carry a spider-man movie.Though Morbius could work well as the main villain for blade.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

If done right, Electro could become a fantastic villian. I'm starting to want him over Kraven.

 

[Jick]

Nah, I rather have Kraven.
I had a taste of Electro watching the X-Men movies and Fantastic Four.

 

[LightningFlash]

Lizard and Vulture.

An animal to fight on land, and someone to fight in air.

 

[dark_b]

i know kraven only from the cartoons. and i just dont see it. i really dont. but i will admit that i thought that sandman will also not work but he did.
kraven has superpowers? he is taking drugs that makes him stronger?

 

[Duskbyday]

I thought he could use tht goblin formula which norman and harry used.

 

[SpeterMan3]

I'm going for Aunt Carnage.

 

[SymbioticToxin]

Lizard and Vulture.

I could see that working in someway. Maybe, like, Conners and Toomes are friends or something. And then it just snowballs from there.

 

[Venom 1988]

i know kraven only from the cartoons. and i just dont see it.

Well there you go....

i really dont. but i will admit that i thought that sandman will also not work but he did.

Jungle potions actually and yes superhuman strength, durability, speed, and agility

I know him from his episode in the 90's series. It was great. So I began to like the character. Not my top 5, but I like him, and I think they could make good use of him in the movie.
I read too little of him from the comics. The only arc with him that I can remember is Kraven's Last Hunt.

Well it would test Spider-Man having to fight the villains differently.

And it would even work if the villains didn't know eachother.

 

[SymbioticToxin]

^^
True. I would also really like to see Spidey fighting Vulture, and somehow they land on the ground and Lizard shows up and attacks both of them. Spider vs Reptile vs Bird. Thats pretty awesome-sauce in my opinion.

 

[chaseter]

A villian vs villian fight is something I want to see with Spider-Man trying to stop both of them or doing damage control.

 

[SymbioticToxin]

^
Exactly.

 

[SP1D3RxV3N0M]

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)

Just look at Ultimate Rhino... That is menacing.

 

[Mutagen]

I thought the 1994 and Spectacular Spider-man's Rhino was menacing too, granted that Spectacular's was far better visually, and Ultimate Rhino was visually cool too.

 

[LightningFlash]

R.h.i.n.o.

True. Though I really didn't like Rhino till SSM. 90's Rhino just didn't really cut it for me.

 

[American_Hobo]

I'm ok with Rhino as logn as he's the minor villain and not major villain.
Rhino could be awesome if done right.
