No spider slayers. I would rather not see flying robots in this series.
 
I agree to Spider-Slayers. ANYTHING to get it exciting as possible. It happens in the comics. VGs. the cartoons and theyre cool as anything.
 
I actually didn't picture them flying. I just picture packs of robots. Spider-man fighting robots is what I want to see 2nd to Mysterio. What makes it most interesting to me though is just Jameson being behind it all, you know? I want to see him actually try and kill this guy he rants on hating as he's done numerous times in the comics as Rodrigo said.
 
Maybe have John Jameson get killed and everybody thinks its Spider-Man who killed him,but its really Mysterio who frames him. This drives Jonah to be involved in the Spider-Slayers creation and Mysterio uses them as he sees fit,causing Jonah a mass amount of guilt when the truth is revealed.
 
no mysterio and no kraven unless we get Lizard but still i think for visual effects sake they should stick with the cool classic characters...Spider-Man 4 should consist of Lizard & Carnage or Electro
 
I like interactions between heros and villains. You wouldnt get that with Lizard and as for Carnage...Ill be looking forward to Venom for him.

yeah i keep forgetting about the Venom spinoff i too can wait for Carnage in that but i think there would be a lots of interaction between Lizard and Spidey being that Lizard is really Dr. Connors a friend/mentor for Peter Parker. I can see Peter not trying to battle Lizard but more like try to save him by turning Dr. Connors back to normal.
 
Nowt wrong with Depp. Hes a very theatrical actor. Like watching paint dry in real life,but a God on screen.
 
I agree that there must be interaction between the hero and the villain, also between the multiple villains. There would be an interesting interaction between Spidey and Lizard, but as I have always said that story was somehow used in Spider-Man 2 between Spidey and Ock. It may work in a future sequel, but not just after the third film.
I also think that there was not a proper interaction between Venom and Sandman. It was Electro who should have been with Sandman. Venom should have been with Carnage or with the revenge team along with Harry.
 
My point is this

"Dr Connors. I want to help you".

"RRRRRROOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRR"

I want more than that,lol. He wouldnt be a scene filler by himself and the movie would have to rely on other stuff.

Whereas Mysterio would give us something weve never seen and things that would surprise the hell outta us,lol.

i agree somewhat but Mysterio isn't my cup of tea. the whole fishbowl head doesn't look that intimidating. now someone who can control 1000's and 1000's of volts electricity is kinda scary. i say bring on Electro along with Lizard.
 
I think they would remake his look. But I also wonder...WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN TO THE OSBORN ESTATE?

what i would like to see (and i'm sure lots of people would disagree) but see a random thief take the goblin gear and presto HOBGOLBIN and i want a disfigured face with one eye bigger than the other like the comics and red. more lethal and more close to the comics. and i'm only saying for the sake if they should go the Sinister 6 route with Spider-Man 4 and 5
 
I don't see Hobgoblin as a member of the Six.
For me the ideal line-up of the Sinister Six, following the film continuity, would be Mysterio, Scorpion, Shocker, Rhino, Vulture and Chameleon.
My approach to the Sinister Six would be that they are all less formidable foes than Spidey previous encounters, or the ones like Electro or Lizard. Most of them would be ordinary men using some kind of new technology. They wouldn't be mutants with powers like Sandman or Electro's and they wouldn't be the same calibre as the Goblin or Dock Ock, because then Spidey wouldn't stand a chance.
Mysterio would be a sort of a leader, with Scorpion as a ultimate weapon against Spidey, Shocker would fire sonic vibrations, Rhino would be the brawn of the group, Vulture the aerial support, while Chameleon the spy and infiltrator. I think that characters like Tooms, Gargan and Beck could be introduced even in the 4th film, but not as villains, just a scene or two.. an introducing cameos. And for the rest I think that the SS should be treated as a team, not as separate villains like the big three or Sandman, Electro or Lizard. They should be like the brotherhood is to the X-Men. An organization formed to stop and defeat already framed Spider-Man by Mysterio and Chameleon. But then the things would go wrong and they will become a terrorist organization that would turn against the state.

You're saying one person isn't scary because of their looks and another is more scary for their power. If you want to compare, it needs to be look with look or power with power.

If you actually take electro's classic costume and put it next to Mysterio's classic costume, I'd definitely go with Mysterio looking more intimidating.Now powers. Electricity is very dangerous and a person who can can control it seems powerful, but a person who you feel can enter your head, and make you believe you're being tormented in hell? That's scary.
 
What if that thug from the first movie didn't die and he was one of the three members of "The Enforcers".Before spidey,these three characters were Kingpin's big guns,but they are no match for spidey.

So Kingpin gets them on the same playing field.Montanta becomes "The Shocker" who wears gauntlets and a costume to protect him from the gauntlets blasts,Ox gets an experimental procedure done that makes him become "The Rhino",and Fancy Dan is injected with a super soldier serum that makes him become "Kraven".

Dr.Connors through out the movie is shown slowly being transformed into the Lizard...
 
Alright. I'm going to make some bold predictions. And remember, you read it here first:

If Kraven is in Spider-Man 4:
He will be played by Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin, or Gerard Butler.

If Kraven is in Spider-Man 5 or 6:
He will be played by Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin, Gerard Butler, or a currently unknown actor who has yet to emerge.

Stanley Tucci will be cast as a villain in an upcoming superhero film, and if Kraven is not in Spider-Man 4, there is a very strong likelihood that Stanley Tucci will be. Look for Tucci to be cast as Mysterio, Scorpion, Electro (unlikely, but possible) in Spider-Man 4, Red Skull in Captain America, Sinestro in Green Lantern, Riddler, Black Mask, Hugo Strange, or Mr. Freeze in the sequel to The Dark Knight.

Kind of hedging your bets with old Tucci there, but Jackie Earle Haley is apparently going to get the part of Sinestro:

I was thinking Mysterio would only be a sideplot and not the main villian . I don't imagine they woul do that with Johnny Depp. Maybe he could play Dr. Strange.
