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

[Artistsean]

As I mentioned before, I think what they should do is use villains they haven't before
bad guys like:
Mysterio, Electro, Scorpion, Kraven, or the Lizard,

Also, I think they should go the Spectacular Spider-Man rout (or the Incredible Hulk rout) and start the movie having Peter already as Spider-Man. (He already was bitten, Uncle Ben already died, and he has the costume, and has been Spider-Man, and he already takes photos for the paper.)
This way, having him already being Spider-Man when the movie starts and using a different bad guy (like Electro)
Even with the changes, like Peter being back in High School and Harry returned to life, Gwen there, and all that, it would still seem more like a Incredible Hulk styled reboot (sequal sort of) film. Instead of a straight on reboot/retelling like the Punisher.

Not too crazy about a reboot, but if they must, go the Batman Begins route and go with an unused villain. No Goblin, Ock or Sandman for a while. Definitely no Venom, he has his own movie. No Norman and Harry either, Pete doesn't meet them til college in the comics anyway.

If they want to do it like the comics, the first 2 super villains he fought were Chameleon and Vulture, so they could pick from those two (preferably only one of them). Kraven, maybe once Spidey's fully established as a hero, then the Hunter would want to take him down. The Lizard, maybe establish Connors for a film or two first, but can be part of the Kraven story as previous Spidey 4 rumors had it.

I agree with the previous poster, start the movie with Parker already as Spidey. How much different can you tell the same origin?

Mysterio or Kraven+Lizard could make the most interesting stories right now.

Although having kingpin and some lesser villains could be very interesting as well.

 

[spider-neil]

having a dark and gritty movie is going to be a weird juxtaposition with a high school setting

Most IMPORTANT rule...

DO NOT KILL THE VILLAINS UNLESS THEY ARE TOTALLY 100% FINISHED AND NO LONGER NEEDED. DONT KILL THEM JUST AFTER 1 MOVIE.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Rykers Island can be used.

One of these days I'd like to see the Sinister 6 on screen. It would suck if someone like Doc Ock kicks the bucket againt after 1 Movie. Just do it like Spectacular Spider-Man and have someone like Norman Osborn build the Vault.

I do hope so. Cause almost every villain died after turning good again in some way. DO NOT WANT.

 

[SpideyTheBest]

Nevermind.

Yes, def one of the problems with the movies and with some superhero movies in general. For some reason they love to kill off the villain at the end of the movie, god forbid we see them on screen again. It makes the movies too formulaic in my opinion.

 

[spider-neil]

water under the bridge now with the reboot but doc ock was only seen floating away he doesn't/didn't have to be dead.

Agreed! The Green Goblin is about the only Spider-Man villian that I can think of that's likely to appear in a movie who's death would make sense in most instances.Maybe the Burgler who killed Uncle Ben but I think this time they'll just send him off to prison. I don't think they'd have Kraven commit suicide or repeat Harry Osborn's death.

The only major/supporting character deaths I would predict in this new series would be...

Uncle Ben
Green Goblin/Norman Osborn
Gwen Stacy
(possibly) Aunt May

 

[Rodrigo90]

Heres an idea. Build a subplot around Harry,which concerns about him feeling alone and afraid for Norman,as he is working too hard on a new project and if things go wrong, Oscorp will fail.

In truth. Oscorp has been working on several weapons and a performance enhancer drug, to be mass-produced for the US Military. However, Norman has struck a deal with a mysterious organization to bail the company out of inevitable bankruptcy,and if he tries to back out the deal,they will kill his wife and Harry.

Dr Stromm and Dr Toomes are also in on the deal. They are both the head overseers of the project,but have also been designing the costumes that organization asked for,hideous and grotesque monsters,as well as several theatrical,but deadly weapons.

The performance enhancer drug is not yet finished and needs more serums. Have Lizard and Kraven in this and at the end leave it at a cliffhanger. The Oscorp scientists manage to obtain a small sample of Kraven's potion,that enhanced his strength speed and agility...

 

[QWoods]

Mysterio!!! or Electro

 

[Spider-Ranger]

I think Electro would be a "cool" villain to use in a high school themed spider-man movie. He could be that young too and also attend high school.

 

[Venom 1988]

I wouldn't want Electro to be in school with Peter (ala MTV Spidey).

 

[Spider-Kurt!]

I wouldn't want Electro to be in school with Peter (ala MTV Spidey).

I'd rather not either but something tells me this would be the direction Sony would go with. I wouldn't be surprised if he was a romantic rival of Peter Parker's in trying to win over Gwen Stacy.

 

[Nathan]

Ok, enough with giving Sony crazy ideas.

 

[Vaportrail]

I seriously want them to do the "Torment" storyline, but maybe have Kraven in there also.

 

[Hannibal Smith]

These should play the lead Male Villains through the new series.

Norman Osbourne.

Jeremy Irons

OR

Hugo Weaving.

Dr Conners.

Sam Neil.

Or.


Alan Rickman.

Dr Ock.

Nick Cage.

Or.

Cirian Hinds.

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

Dr Ock.

Nick Cage.

No, seriously.

 

[Spider-Ranger]

Dr Ock.

Nick Cage.

I don't want to see Nick Cage anywhere near these films!
He's a doom to every franchise/movie...

 

[GoldGoblin]

^
He's not a good actor.

 

[SpeterMan3]

No particular villain. Tinkerer is in the background, creating crazy suits and whatnot for street thugs. He doesn't get found out. Spidey takes out all the thugs eventually and the movie ends with the creation of the first actual villain. Vulture, Electro, whoever. Someone mechanical. Actually, I always thought Tinkerer should eventually become Vulture, but that could just be me.

 

[Deaths Head II]

I like the suggestion of Sam Neil as Dr. Connors and Hugo Weaving as Norman Osbourne, but hell no to Nick Cage.
