Did Sam Raimi spill about the villain for Spiderman 4? Well no.
He mentioned the Lizard and while I jumped with amusement hoping to finally see that character the mention was to shoot it down.
While Raimi “loves” the story of the Lizard, the Spider-Man team isn’t exactly looking to tie up those little mentions of Dr. Curt Connors. Instead, look for a baddie who will toy with Peter’s internal and external demons a little bit: “What we’re trying to do right now is really understand the journey Peter is going to go on this time and have the villain maybe be a counter to that growth, something that he has to overcome. Or maybe he has to grow in a way to overcome the villain, because there always seem to be stories of coming of age, of a young man growing up and learning things about life, so once we are identifying the exact movement that Peter has to grow to, I think the villain-and we’re trying this right now; we’re trying to choose a villain based on who would be the proper counter to that growth, so we really have dramatic conflict.”
With so many mentions and appearance of Dr Connors, he is a constant tease like that well meaning best friend you know the star is destined to fall in love with.
With talk saying they are looking for something to challenge Peter’s growth, perhaps they have his favourite college professor introduce a dramatic conflict?
I will be upset if they go with Morbius. Vampire crazies are all stocked up right now. And personally I would like to see the members of the original Sinsister Six hit up. We already got Doctor Octopus and Sandman.
Where is Vulture, Electro, Kraven the Hunter, and Mysterio? Hell, I would even love to see Rhino.
But no clones. Unless they reveal EmoPeter was a clone.
