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

[TheWrathOfGod]

I say use a Nolaned up version of the Chameleon and JM as the Vulture for the reboot. The Big Man (Frederick Foswell) could be a side villain like Falcone in BB.

 

[Golgo-13]

I'd prefer if they start off with a lower key Villan, just so that's there's more room to re-introduce all the main characters again. Bring in the Spider-Slayers perhaps for the first one. that way we can get introduced to the corporate wrold Villan like Adrian Tombs, The Kingpin, Mr.Big and Norman Osborn....

 

[GoldGoblin]

SM1 (The Lizard)

-Have Peter stay in high school through out the movie.

-In Dr.Connor's class,have Dr.Connors pair up Peter with the girl of his dreams,Gwen Stacy.Show how Peter meets her father Captain Stacy when Peter goes over to her house to work on their project.

-Show Dr.Connors doing experiments on lizard DNA to regrow lost limbs.

-Dr.Connors becomes the Lizard.

-Show a flashback of Peter getting bit by the spider and how Peter first realized that he had super powers (like a car almost hits Peter,but his spider sense goes off for the first time and Peter leaps up into the air and sticks to the side of the building).

 

[Venom75]

I would use somebody we haven't see yet,like the Lizard,Electro or Scorpion. The major villians should follow in parts 2-4ck,Goblin and Venom.

 

[Closerframe]

Have Electro for the first film, Green Goblin for the second, and the Lizard for the third film, if it gets that far.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

i'd love for the movie to sort of start out how the first episode of the spectacular spiderman cartoon started, he's already spidey and he's in a high octane fight with someone.
i'd love to see him start the first movie battling and utterly imbarassing scorpion. but the main villain for the first should be lizard or someone else, setting up norman as the green goblin for the next movie.

 

[Sawyer]

The Lizard. End of story.

 

[SentinelMind]

The Lizard and Electro, with Kingpin or Norman Osbourne in background manipulating Electro. Done.

Lizard can be role model that Doc Ock shouldn't have played in Spider-Man 2. Things set up right again.

 

[TheScarecrow]

Ok, I've changed my mind:

Spider-man 1: The Chameleon, The Vulture and Tombstone.
- Tombstone is a mobster, one of whose thugs killed Uncle Ben. He is currently doing a business deal with Norman Osborn - who designed The Vulture's suit.
- Adrien Toomes is an agent of Tombstone's. He wears a special metal suit which gives him a super-human level of resistance. The suit also includes metallic blades which come out from under his arms, held in place by magnetic pulses which allow him to navigate into the highrises of New York City undetected at night.
- The Chameleon is an assassin out to kill Tombstone. He and Vulture are locked in a fued as The Vulture tries to protect his boss. He is a master of disguise. He has been hired by Norman Osborn.
- After Tombstone kills Adrien Toomes' daughter Valeria, the two join forces to go after the mobster, and Spider-man must make a choice between protecting the man who killed his parents, and getting the ultimate revenge.
- Dr. Curt Connors is a low-level scientist at Oscorp, who Norman allows Peter to work with. He helps Peter understand the science behind his condition, and is the only person to know that Peter Parker is Spider-man.

Spider-man 2: The Lizard, Kraven the Hunter.
- Curt Connors secretly develops a serum at Oscorp which he believes could regrow his limbs. The actual result is that he is turned into a monstrous creature.
- Being the only person who knows that Connors is The Lizard, and knowing how it could affect his company if the news got out, Norman Osborn secretly incites famous game hunter Kraven to take care of the problem.
- Things escalate as Kraven decides to not only go after the Lizard, but to also go after Spider-man. The rest of Kraven's story is an adaption of "Kraven's Last Hunt".
- Tombstone and his mob find out about Connors, and seek the formula that he used as a way of making some of their thugs like The Lizard. As such, while Spider-man must protect The Lizard from Kraven, he must also protect Connor's from Tombstone's mob whenever he changes back.
- Spider-man and Connors work on finding a cure for his condition, and eventually do.
- Norman steals Connors formula, and begins adapting it for his own purposes.

Spider-man 3: The Green Goblin
- Norman adapts Connor's formula, and becomes The Green Goblin - a combination of the classic and Ultimate versions of the character. He unleashes all hell, and kills Spider-man's girlfriend, Gwen Stacey.

 

[zeptron]

Green Goblin: Already been used in the original series. Should be saved for a second movie. However, Norman should have a minor cameo (to build it up).

Doc Ock: Already been used in the original series.

Venom: Been used (too much, for a rookie Spider-Man to handle), should be saved for a third or fourth movie.

Carnage: Can't be used, before they've used Venom again. Hell he shouldn't be used at all.

Electro: Probably the best choice. Not used before, his powers would pose a threat to Spider-Man (along with the rest of New York). I'd pick certain elements from the Ultimate Version; The product of bioengineering, bald, wears a black leather outfit (would be easy to translate to Live-Action), and has some grotesque burn scars. However, he should be a product of Oscorp experiments, not Hammer Industries.

 

[DarthDaveBanner]

Lizard I say. He kicked off the 90's animated series pretty well.

 

[LEGO Spidey]

Just adapt the first episode of Spectacular Spider-Man, "Survival of the Fittest", with a bit of "Market Forces" thrown in and we have our movie with plenty of character development, plenty of setup for the sequels' villains, Spidey recalling his origin story as he tries to stop a vindictive Vulture from killing Harry's dad away just like Peter lost his uncle Ben (works nicely with the power/responsibility theme as well), introducing Gwen and Eddie early on... And we have our kickass Spider-Man movie with two supervillains, Vulture and Shocker.

 

[Kane]

Seriously, I hope they don't use a villain in the reboot that they've already shown us. I mean, I do want to see a new and better Green Goblin and Venom eventually, but I'd prefer if we got a villain we haven't seen yet and work their way into delivering those guys again. My choices are for Electro and The Lizard. Another cool thing to do would be to have the characters of Eddie Brock and Norman Osborn (along with any other villains) in the film, and slowly build their way towards having them become Venom and Green Goblin (not in the same movie) over the course of a couple films.

I like this idea. But, from what I heard, Sony ain't using Vulture in the first movie.

 

[Phoenix_Flare]

well if Sony plans to make this reboot series ala the Nolan/Batman franchise then they need to make plans to introduce, Silverman:Silversable,...Tombstone(hopeflly portrayed by a black actor):Hammerhead...Kingpin(if the get the rights to use him) and my choice of villan to balance these guys out is the Hobgoblin,seeing how Norman built his suit/weapons anyway to take dwn Kingpin

they all make great crime lords, the Hobgoblin wld be like TDK's Joker..but i think my idea wld be better for a sequel

 

[NinjaTurtleFan]

I would have Dr. Connors be the first villain. Like someone suggested, in the beginning Peter could already be Spider-Man facing off against some bank-robbers and I would have it where they try to escape via helicopter like we saw in 2001 trailer for the first movie, but they get caught in his webs like a fish in a net.

From there we get introduced to Pete at school. He is a loner--- his only friends are Gwen and Harry. Harry sticks up for him against Flash Thompson and the rest of the bullies, but feels that he's missing out on the popularity he should and could be having because he has Pete to look after/tag along. Gwen secretly loves Peter/Harry secretly loves Gwen.

Pete, being the head of his class, is asked to work after school for Dr. Connors. A friendship is developed between the two men and Connors tells Peter about the formula he's been creating that can regrow a human limb. Peter thinks it sounds dangerous and warns Curt of the variables and possibilities that occur if he does indeed test it. Curt doesn't listen, he tests it, and becomes The Lizard.

Meanwhile, Tombstone or Kingpin could be a secondary villain like Falcone in "BB." I would have Norman Osborne being a shadowy character. We meet him through Harry but we don't quite know what he's doing, who he's involved with, etc. because he doesn't want anyone in on it and it's all hushed-hush and behind close doors. At the end, he would reveal himself as the man controlling Tombstone and supplying the mob with weaponry. Perhaps, the Enforcers could be thrown in, but just in name only.

In movie 2, I'd have where we learn more about what Norman is doing. Vulture could be the villain this time. He gets revenge on Osborne, Osborne gets found out that he was helping Tombstone, and in his last case scenario he tests the Goblin serum, and flees Oscorp. Harry defends his dad saying it's all rumors and that there is no proof. Pete and Gwen's love blossoms. Spider-Man defeats Vulture but GG shows up, kills Toomes, and takes Gwen hostage. Spider-Man chases GG to the bridge, GG drops her, she dies, and Spidey beats GG to a bloody pulp, but soon sees this isn't how he should be or react. He lets GG go but GG with a last ounce of strength tries to kill him but of course... we know what happens.

Movie 3, I'd bring in some new villains like Kraven, Electro, Mysterio, or Chameleon.

Movie 4- Doc Ock.

 

[Mach2Infinity]

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?

Still, it would be nice to have a poll which has the full array of top Spider-Man villains. Rather than have a general 'other' villains tab so that we can have a more accurate analysis of which villain(s) people would most like to see. It's only reasonable.

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.

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

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.

I think escalating the threat for Spider-Man would be ideal. Unfortunately Sam Raimi decided to skim over the period where Spider-Man combats and apprehends petty criminals. Seeing as though the new series will involve a younger and certainly inexperienced Spider-Man. It would be satisfying to explore in greater depth, Spider-Man first foray into crimefighting by his dismantling of a criminal organisation such as the mafia. I think the Kingpin would be ideal for the first film. The only stumbling block is the question of rights and ownership. At the moment 20th Century Schlock own the rights to the Kingpin character since they used him in the Daredevil film. Now, it seems that either the rights for him have/will revert back to Marvel Studios or 20th Century Fox will want to make a sequel/reboot. In any case it would be difficult for Sony Pictures to get their hands on the rights for Kingpin. Is there a possibility that Marvel Studios could buy the rights off Sony for Spider-Man? If not and they were desperate for the Kingpin character then perhaps Sony and 20th Century Fox/Marvel could arrange some distribution deal which allows the Spider-Man franchise to use the character. Nonetheless, my preferred template for the next Spider-Man film is to use a more grounded villain tied with regular petty crime. Rather than a supervillain. I think the Green Goblin at the very least should not make an appearance until the third film. To allow for character development for the relationship among Norman Osborn, Harry Osborn and Peter Parker. I also think a character such as the Lizard should not be used until the second film (I think film number two would be good). Again to simply allow the relationship between Dr. Curt Connors and Peter Parker to develope and give gravitas to Spider-Man's dilemma in fighting him come the transformation.

 

[TheSlag]

I think for the sake of the reboot, it will be important that they give us a new villain that we have not seen yet, since the Raimi years are still fresh in everyone's mind. As long as they "hint" at the A-List villains to come.

I personally cannot wait to see what they do with GG, as I loved Dafoe's portrayal, but not the costume.

And besides, the A-List villains need prep time to develop their characters correctly. Especially GG and the Osborns.

 

[Ultimate Doom]

Lizard or Scorpion

 

[FaT_tONle]

Kingpin has no business at Fox. DD is dead. Are Marvel reps available to answer questions at comic con and so forth regarding when Blade/DD turn back over to Marvel? DD should be returning to Marvel within a year. I am sure they will lease him to Sony in exchange for something else.

 

[conan69]

If Sony didnt want Lizard before, what makes everyone think theyll give the go ahead for him now??

I say Electro is most likely to kick off the reboot. Visually hes prob the most exciting villian we havent seen yet.

If they can do the Times Square fight from the Ultimate Spider-Man video game.. it would really be a fun watch, especially in 3D

 

[Dragon]

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?

If I were rebooting the franchise, I'd start with someone new. Probably Electro. His powers are both simple enough and spectacular enough to get things off to a big start. But I'd start dropping hints by introducing Norman and Otto.

I'd also only show Spidey's origin in brief flashback, rather than a full retelling.

 

[Artistsean]

I am afraid that, because of the fall out from Raimi wanting the Vulture and the studio apparently not, that we wont see certain CLASSIC and cool bad guys, like the Vulture, Chameleon, Kraven the Hunter, and others, because the studio is afraid they wont make them money.
Vulture may not have the coolest powers, or costume, but he would be a great character (especially with an actor like Malcavich playing him).
I hope this doesn't happen though, studio forcing a character like Carnage in over a classic bad guy like Kraven.

 

[GoldGoblin]

Villains like Electro and Sandman are villains that have to get their powers in a cool way,not some lame a## way like being electrocuted.Having Norman Osborn make them for a mobster so the mobster can use them to distract spidey while the mobster can do his organized crime without spidey showing up is a good way.
