TheWrap: Rhys Ifans will play Dr. Curt Connors, better known as The Lizard, in Marc Webb's "Spider-Man," TheWrap has learned.
There had been rumors across the blogosphere that Sony was thinking of bringing back Venom for the franchise reboot, but that character will not be featured in the movie, two individuals familiar with the project have told TheWrap.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
This just proves they are going the high school route and being more upfront with Spidey. So its gonna be cool. These good stories always start out with the lizard, go to a gang of villians, stay at Venom for a while, then get more epic with Carnage and what not.
No Tobey Maguire, No Sam Raimi, No Spiderman. :/
I guess we really all saw this coming didn't we? That's been most of the speculation since news of the reboot came out, but most were just waiting for that 'official' confirmation.
Personally, I'm not sure what to think. I love spider-man, but don't have much hope for this reboot. I like The Lizard, but never found him a villain that could really stand on his own. He always seemed like a great secondary villain. Maybe in the scope of Parker dealing with high school and smaller things instead of saving everyone, the Lizard will be perfect.
ironically this would have been perfect for spiderman 4. DR Conners is already introduced and he still has a piece of the symbiote. Perfect intro to lizard and a great segway into carnage. Unfortunately were getting a unnecessary reboot.
