The Amazing Spider-Man Rhys Ifans Cast as The Lizard

[Spider-Who?]

From the leaked photos he especially looks like the one in that first picture I posted.

see, i'd say his snout looks similar to the second picture. get rid of the horns and make a stronger distinction between the snout and brow, throw some green in there and boom: Lizard.

I'm interested in knowing if The Lizard kills people or anyone in this film.

Well, we had Doc Ock kill a bunch of guys in SM2 and they made sure to make him like the most likeable guy in the world. So I think Lizard is definitely gonna off some people. But I pray that he won't eat anyone. Because I'm sure if he does that, he is not going to survive the movie.

Hmm, I second this.

I think they might have some concept art for the lizard over at comicvine under the lizard photos. it fits the description pretty well and is unlike anything ive ever seen. i could be wrong

Well it kinda reminds me of killer croc

 

[Michael Frost]

That's fan art.

 

[PumpkinBombxXx]

still fairly close to the descriptions ive read

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

It's fan art, but it sort of resembles how he looks.

 

[The Lizard]

I'm kind of wondering how that might be handled too.

Let me repost something that got lost in the chaos of the leaked Lizard pics a few days ago...

I've had many debates over the years about how savage the Lizard should be in movie form. Regardless of whether Lizard can talk (which I hope he does, at least at first), or if he becomes a mindless beast, you can be pretty sure that he's going to do some violent things onscreen to establish his villainy.

The question is -- how violent should the Lizard get, and how might his actions impact Curt Connors remaining as a character in the rebooted Spidey franchise?
Should the Lizard get totally animalistic and tear people to shreds and eat them? There's only so far you can go with this in a PG-13 movie of course, but I don't know if I want to see Lizzy killing innocent people right and left. It kind of lessens the sympathy for Connors and reduces the chances that Lizard will survive at the end of the film.

He should eat his son and wife on screen with guts and blood everywhere.



Yum.

You joke, but I've actually had conversations with people who said that they really wanted an R-rated Spidey movie with the Lizard tearing people's guts out.

I think there are enough horror movie monsters out there that do that already.

I wonder if the Lizard was real...would he really eat people. Like in real-life...? Hmmm. Must do research on that...

Anyway, he should be physically scary and intimidating. For killing people? I think he should kill out of self-defense, I mean he has no reason to attack anyone unless he does eat people in the movie, which would be weird, and the comic con footage makes him look blind, using smell as a source of direction.

Although that's the kind of complexity I want from Connors after he changes back to his human self. Knowing that the beast inside him has killed and now part of him has death on his hands, not of his doing, but of course he blames himself. IN other words, I don't want Connors/The Lizard to be like Banner/The Hulk, you know, sense Banner doesn't kill--Hulk doesn't kill.

That character's face looks nothing like the face of The Lizard's leaked photo.

I second that. We don't need that in a Spider-Man film.

 

[Spider-Who?]

That character's face looks nothing like the face of The Lizard's leaked photo.

I dunno...its kinds close (as fas as we can make out, anyway). It's got the "smile" shaped mouth, and the shorter snout (though in the leaked images, it seems that the snout doesn't slope as much as in the fan art). If the actual design mimics this in some fashion, I'd be okay with (minus the over exaggerated Hulk muscles).

 

[©KAW]

Nope, I'm looking at both pics side by side, they look nothing alike.

 

[Mary Jane Watson]

Well, from descriptions, he was wearing no clothes, but I'm not sure if it'll remain that way throughout the film.

I am wondering where do poni-boy go? I thought that he said that lizard has the lab coat. Maybe we should ask Spidey-62 to see if he saw something.

 

[©KAW]

The Lizard does have a lab-coat, shirt and pants, but not in his final stage.

You can get banned for putting that link up, remove it, unless you just don't give a damn.

I really like that idea. I really hope that they will go down this route.

Ah, okay...I see.

 

[Spidey_62]

I don't really get why lots of people don't seem to like the labcoat, that is part of what makes the Lizard stand out visually. If he doesn't have a labcoat he just looks like a giant lizard, not thee Lizard.

That's partly why I prefer the more practical/classic Lizard they showed in the footage. The giant CGI Lizard didn't look too bad, a bit silly but not too bad. The CGI will definitely be touched up but I just preferred the smaller looking version with the labcoat.
