Hey all!
Interesting discussion.
Like most people I wonder if its just going to be a teaser of Lizard as a set up for the fourth movie.
Someone brought up the point that we could see the Lizard transform and then flee to the sewers or somesuch. I just got thinking, wouldn't that be the perfect cue to have Kraven come into the fourth movie to hunt the Lizard. Spidey could have his initial battles with the Lizard, but then maybe try to help him, only to then have Kraven enter the fray.
I'm not sure I like the idea of more than three villains within the main story of
Spiderman 3, it just seems a touch too cluttered, so I don't think that will happen. Although it does seem beautifully set up with Sandman/Venom/Green Goblin/Spidey, so I definately can see having three villains working well.
They do have the potential to set up Man-Wolf though, but I don't think we will see him in
Spiderman 3. Though could we see a Lizard/Man-Wolf/Kraven/Spidey for
Spiderman 4 I wonder?
The big question would seemingly then be, who the heck are the villains of
Spiderman 5?
Since you would imagine the numerology of
Spiderman 6 tells us immediately that they have to use the Sinister Six...right? So thats Dr. Octopus/Mysterio/Vulture/Electro/Sandman/Kraven.
For
Spiderman 5, my guess is Mysterio will be the main villain. The reason being that there is so much visual potential in going down the illusion route that he is one of the few remaining villains that can carry a movie practically by himself, although I don't think he will be alone. Firstly they could use Mysterio to summon Demogoblin from Peter's nightmares (I know thats a slight change to the history, but I think it sounds cool). We could also involve Chameleon (back to avenge the defeat of Kraven?) in this movie to confuse spidey even more.
All of which poses the question what the heck can they do for
Spiderman 7? Since at this point we are, not so much starting to run out of villains, but starting to run out of cool villains that would create some interesting visuals on screen.
I suppose Hydro-man is one possibility. Other possiblities include the Rhino and the Scorpion (though visually less arresting). While none of those could seemingly carry a movie by themselves perhaps they could all be used together in some capacity?
A symbiote based movie might be cool. But to some extent, after Venom in
Spiderman 3 you would be retreading the same ground.
Any thoughts?
