The Amazing Spider-Man What villain or villains would you like to see them kick start the reboot with?

[The Joker]

What villain or villains do you think they should restart the franchise with? Should they use one of Spidey's big guns, like Green Goblin or Doctor Octopus, villains who can be established and done in one movie?

Or should they do what Batman Begins did, and use villains who were not used in the previous franchise? Say someone like The Lizard, or Electro, or even the Vulture? Or maybe a combo?

 

[Pythagoras]

I liek to see somebody like Electro in the first. Save Goblin for the second film.

 

[I Am The Bat]

I want more options before I vote...

 

[Aesop Rocks]

Personally I liked Green Goblin as his first enemy, but, I think for the first movie, he should just deal with like the mob or something. I wouldn't be mad if they did Green Goblin again though, in the classic GG get up.

 

[The Joker]

I want more options before I vote...

What else do you want? Either they use one of his top two enemies, or one of the unused villains.

You don't think they're going to use Sandman so soon after SM-3, do you?

 

[Catman]

It would be a mistake to re-use villains so soon. So, I'd say Lizard.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

introduce them like the Joker at the end of BB.

 

[I Am The Bat]

You don't think they're going to use Sandman so soon after SM-3, do you?

uh... I feel that is a little to general... There is no telling which one these villains these forums are vying for unless there is a more detailed list of villains... That is all I'm saying...

 

[Mister J]

The former Doc Ock has beaten me to the proverbial thread-creating punch, so I'll simply piggyback with what I had already ...because I amuse myself.

With news of a reboot, our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man will be encountering another member of his most impressive rogues gallery. Who should be the antagonist?

• Continue with the prospects of the Vulture?
• Kick things off with the Green Goblin again?
• T3h Venomzz!!!1!1?
• Unleash the killer combination of The Spot and Will o' the Wisp?

With that out of the way, I've long been partial to Electro, though a lot of determining a lead villain will depend on theme. The Lizard is another A choice.

As great as Norman and Otto are, I'd feel a little too much retread if they were offered up again so soon. Both had pretty damn good outings too. The fact that neither was royally screwed through the adaptation process and not in need of near-wholesale redress (think Two Face in Batman Forever) leaves me cold to the idea. Definitely, down the line though. Maybe even the second flick. I want something new to kick things off though.

Maybe a proper handling of the Sinister Six can manifest down the line.

 

[Jostru]

I wouldn't use Green Goblin yet. Introduce Norman, but make him GG in the second or third movie. I'd like to see Eddie Brock introduced as well. I'd be happy with someone like Vulture or Electro with Tombstone or something as a secondary villain.

 

[RaZaTrOn]

Brand new villain but have Norman Osborn introduced.

Hopefully they develop Gwen into an awesome character and have her killed off by gobby at the end of maybe the 3rd film (if it's a success)

 

[DarthDaveBanner]

Theres absolutely no point in using any of the previous villains at this stage.

 

[Michael Frost]

I wouldn't mind a minor guy first like Electro or Mysterio. What I really want is for them to set up Eddie Brock early and develop him as an actual 3d character with hopes and dreams. Venom is a villain that has alot of potential for possible sequels when written right.

Also, they need to seriously set up Gwen Stacy first as Peter's girl. So that they can have the Goblin killing her.

 

[Mr. Vice]

Does Fox still have the rights to Kingpin? I wouldn't mind seeing him in the first.

 

[Chewy]

Save Ock, Venom, and Gobby for sequels. You can easily revolve at least a film around each, and if they are "restarting" the universe and reintroducing Spidey they don't necessarily need a villain who's as fleshed out. Think Batman Begins. I'm hoping for Electro or Lizard.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

I'd like to see a villain not used, preferably Lizard, but I think the Mafia would also be a smart choice since it would be an area of Spiderman that hasn't been used before.

 

[Spider-Kurt!]

For the first movie...

The Burgler-Brief flashback sequence

Electro-Great potential visuals,no major orgin neccessary,no personal ties to Peter Parker,never used onscreen before.

or
Mysterio-For most of the same reasons as Electro however,Mysterio could be used to cause confusion and give the general public a mistrust for Spider-Man that spawns over the course of several movies.

I'd like to see Dr.Connors,Norman Osborn and Otto Octavious( in a cameo working for Osborn) making their pre-villianous appearences.Maybe Eddie Brock too but more likely in the first sequel.

While not a villian,I'd like to see Gwen Stacy as Peter's fellow nerdy friend simular to her role on the Spectacular Spider-Man series and an appearance by Mary Jane Watson towards the end.

 

[Spider-Kurt!]

For the second or even third movie I'd love to see the Kraven vs Lizard vs Spider-Man plot that so many others have mentioned. I'm not sure when would be the right time to re-introduce the Green Goblin,Dr.Octopus or Venom.

 

[Raiden]

There's NO WAY that GG will be used in the first reboot movie; it'd be like a rehash of Raimi's first Spider-man movie. Even Nolan didn't use Joker right off the bat with BB. For the reboot, it'll be better to establish Gwen Stacy early (something that Raimi should've done), and introduce GG in the 2nd or 3rd movie instead. I think the new director should use a new villain not seen on the big screen previously, much like Nolan using Ra's Al Grul in BB. Maybe The Reptile, Shocker, or Electro will be fine, depending on the script.

 

[zeptron]

Someone who hasn't been used.

 

[jacobed]

Do the villains like in the Spectacular Spider-man. Have a mob boss hiring Norman to keep making these super thugs to distract Spider-Man from the boss's crimes, if done right you could do alot of the secondary villains along with teh big name ones and maybe even set up the sinister six for the third one.

 

[StarkTheProdigy]

i honestly want someone new. i'm mutal on the how rebooting idea, i just don't want to sit through another spiderman origin movie, and see the same villians, i wouldn't mind if they rebooted it in like 10 years and used the same villians, i just think its to soon and we need new material

Have them develop Norman Osborn in the first movie and have him be the Green Goblin in the second movie.

That is a good idea.
