The Amazing Spider-Man Official Villian Casting & Discussion Thread

[crimsonspider89]

You may not like him but he did have his own arc for a bit. I would not mind Vulture if he was not the primary but Carnage has enough abilities to be the primary.

Every villain has had their own arc. It's essential to character driven stories commonly seen in comic books.
What abilities does Carnage have that Venom does not? The only difference between the two, is that Carnage is red, and his host is a serial killer. Putting aside the fact that the Spider-Man films are kid friendly and having a serial killer in them would just be... wrong. Venom returning from the dead would be much better than Carnage.

after watching the disgrace that was venow, how anyone could want to see carnage especially a carnage drected by raimi is beyond me.

Jesus Christ that rumor kinda makes it seem like the plot summary from another thread could be true.I mean Vuturess?Really?If that comes to fruitation then the Spider-man franchise has turned into Batman from the 1990s.

 

[Carlo Comicus]

I hope it's no true.

 

[venom892]

If it is they can forget about asses in seats.I think the Vulture could be an interesting Villian with cool fight scenes but not with this approach.Not to mention all the Black Cat fans that would feel cheated.

 

[Rodrigo90]

OMG! I wanted Malkovich as the Ventriloquist in Batman.

Sir Ben Kingsley is the rightful person for the role of the Vulture.

Vulturess? Dear God...

 

[FaT_tONle]

I am sorry but as much as I like Kingsley, Malcovich blows him out of the water as Vulture. Hathaway is a great addition as well. Figured she'd be playing some variation of Black Cat. It better not be some father daughter tag team though. She'd be Valeria Toomes if that were the case no? Something doesn't add up but other than that I dig it.

 

[DarthDaveBanner]

Malkovich would be solid casting, however something doesn't ring true about this seeing as he turned down an offer to play Norman Osborn.

 

[Reikowolf]

an aerial fight scene would be pretty awesome to watch but... vulturess.... really?

I am not going to assume anything until confirmation is given

 

[I_am_iron_man]

I seriously hope not. If Hathaway will join the cat, it's better if she's Valeria Toomes.

So a big t: to John Malkovich, imho.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Of Mice of and Men,lol.

Pwetty little bunny wabbit as John said,lol.

 

[American_Hobo]

Valeria Toomes would be terrible.
It's gonna lead to boring Peter-Valeria-MJ love-triangle story.

NO, not every villain. Only certain villains have had crossover arcs centered on them or massive arcs for certain characters. Carnage is faster, stronger, more resilient against sound, and can create weapons out of his symbiote. Like I said, I want Carnage but not with Raimi directing. No problem, been plenty of PG13/PG movies with serial killers, just don't show the murdering.

Spider Man 4 will be a flop if the rumor is correct. Vulture as the main villain? Raimi has lost it and turning the Black Cat unto the Vulturess. Sony are also idiots, the Lizard would be amazing.

Oh wow. We'd have our Batman and Robin version of Spider-Man for sure if they go with that. The good news is we'd probably get a reboot right after though.

Though Malkovich as the Vulture sounds great.

 

[Carlo Comicus]

Valeria Toomes It's an inconsistent character with a pair of apparition in the comics. It's so useless. I have forget her immediately.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Yea but with Carnage you couldn't just cut away like the mummy movies when he kills someone. That would be a massive cop out. Leave Carnage to the Venom movie. ONLY if it's rated r mind.

But what's this rumour of a Vultress? You gotta be kidding me right?

 

[crimsonspider89]

Do a shadow effect like in SM2 when the arms kill the doctors. This will be horrible. Raimi is an idiot and knows nothing of Spider Man. Reboot please. PLEASE! I hope Disney-Marvel buys the rights back to Spider Man movies after this.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Ummm why is there a new editor of the Bugle? What the **** is Raimi doing?

 

[Rodrigo90]

Great...Why not just throw the Marx brothers in? or Laurel and Hardy to add more madness?

Whatever this movie has got cooking up,I reckon it will leave a very bad taste in our mouths. I pray that Im wrong though.

 

[FaT_tONle]

I'd rather wait for better Avatar esque CGI if Sony doesn't think it can make Lizard look realistic.

Here is what I am thinking here, Toomes kills the editor and frames Spidey for it... (sort of similar to a Mysterio plot people were throwing around, or the Gwen Stacy plot when people assumed they would kill Cpt. Stacy off), Hardy goes to Toomes for the weapons and becomes a side kick. Lame... but it is what it is. I'd prefer that over Rhino to be honest. To me, this looks like a complete makeup for what SM3 should have had.

 

[bullets]

It's sounds like they are trying to recreate the whole harry dynamic using felicia hardy. I really hope this isn't true.

Malchovich is a good choice to Vulture. I was thinking ben Kingsley but this would still be good.

I doubt Vulture is the only Villian in Spider-man 4

 

[crimsonspider89]

IDK but IMHO if this is true, Raimi needs to stay away from Spidey movies FOREVER! At least Batman and Robin and Batman Forever had real villains and semi real storylines. This will be one of the worst comic book movies ever due to the script and characters. I know Anne can act.

 

[I_am_iron_man]

But if they want use a new female character, it's so stupid if Felicia Hardy will become the Vulturess. In the end it's better if she's became Black Cat!
