Dr. Curt Connors might not have transformed into villainous The Lizard in the previous iterations of the Spider-Man movies, but he will be see in all his scaley glory in the rebooted franchise films. (More on Techland: Why The Spider-Man Movie Reboot Will Be Awesome)
Rhys Ifans will play The Lizard in the new movies, which is based off of Marc Webb’s Spider-Man, according to The Wrap. Despite rumors that Venom was coming back, sources close to the film say he will be absent from this film. Andrew Garfield from The Social Network and Emma Stone from Zombieland will be playing Peter Parker and Gwen Stacey respectively, with Mary Jane Watson yet to be announced.
Personally, Tobey Maguire looks exactly how I would expect Spider-Man to look like, but after the third movie, I agree that the franchise needs a new direction. (Sorry Sam Raimi!) Do you think that Spidey was in need of a complete reboot?
