While its not confirmed, its pretty damned close. It looks like we will see The Lizard as the main enemy in the rebooted Spider-Man.
CBM now found a video of Stuart Allan also auditioning for “Untitled Teen/Action Film.” Allan looks to be around 9-year-old and is attempting to get cast in the role of Billy. While the description doesn’t mention anything else, Billy is actually the young son of Curt Connors, who eventually becomes The Lizard. And the scene that Allan reads clearly shows that “Spider-Man” will show Connor’s transformation into the villain. If you weren’t sure before, this pretty much confirms that that’s the character Rhys Ifans will play.
The site also found Chris Zylka (My Super Psycho Sweet 16) confirming that he was cast in “Spider-Man” on his Twitter account. It is being said that he’ll play Eugene “Flash” Thompson, who is a star high school football player and classmate of Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield). While he bullies Parker, he also admires Spider-Man
If these speculations are accurate, then we now have Rhys Ifans as Doctor Connor actually making the leap to the Lizard, and I already assumed that since they want to keep this in Parker’s highschool years that we would see Flash Thompson.
I am really hoping this different Spider-Man gives us something awesome to replace the previous series that despite its terrible third chapter was still a fan favourite.
I like that they are usin Flash and Gwe Stacy they added depth to the comics, but I am still not crazy about the be-boot I’d rather have seen them right the frachise they stated with; my jury is still out on this.
Now the kid makes sense instead of a young Peter Parker
