Anne Hathaway as The Black Cat now that is hot and should happen, The Rhino Just as a Cameo done by Kevin Durand Just as The Wild Hogs Film Version, Matt Matthew Dillon as Electro Just as a Combination of Carl Peterson From You, Me and Dupree and Patrick (Pat) Healy from Something about Mary and Trip Murphy from Herbie: Fully Loaded. Now For Main Villain I’m thinking Kraven The Hunter or Mysterio and their Cast Chioces are Rusell Crowe,Gerard Butler and for Mysterio I’m thinking Ioan Gruddford and Jeff Goldblum. and for Tombstone The Rock Dwayne Johnson, Wesley Snipes,Samuel L Jackson [if he is not so busy with The Iron Man Trilogy] and for Hammerhead it should be Dominic West.

@ Oscar
Seems like deja vu all over again. Raimi wanting to deliver and the studio getting in the way of it again when its down to choosing which villains should be in the film. Its just my opinion that Vultress would be a lame role for Anne Hathaway as Felcia Hardy when supposly Vulture will be the main villain. I rather have her become Black Cat and have the Lizard as the main villain. Oh well, with the delay they might aswell take the time to get things sorted out.

From what i saw in part 3, it seemed obvious that in part 4 it would have been Carnage, Croc, and Black Cat ( the scene of the professor studying the left over alien specimen gave that away at least to me). yes i agree that Venom should have been saved for later. Luckily Raimi is a filmmaker who can accept a challenge and win many times over. Considering what he did for parts 1 n 2, its very interesting the studio would just make a mess. But i have heard that Toby won’t make the movies if Raimi isnt directing. If thats true then there is some hope. I hope the studio realizes its mistake and lets Raimi do what he does best. (remember: Columbia fired The Three Stooges only to hire them back. The same can happen for Spider Man).

@ M-cat
I still have my doubts about MJ being killed off, but who knows. I heard Anne Hathaway is in the role of Black Cat or Vultress w/ Vulture being the main villain. And theres the rumor of Electro & Carnage which i prefer if Lizard isnt gonna be in the film. So many rumors about the movie.

I heard too that she won’t be in spiderman 5 or 6 but I didn’t hear that she would be killed off. You’re probably right though. There is a story about it here:

Has anyone heard about Kirsten Dunst’s fate in Spidey 4? I forget the name of the magazine my friend showed me. After reading it, it mentioned MJ will be killed off. And that Anne Hathaway’s charactor will fill in as Spidey’s new love interest, mostly for Spidey 5 & 6. and can anyone tell me why im not getting any emails in replies, when i check the box that says notify me of following comments? Id appreciate it.

The villains of Spider-Man 4 should be The Lizard (Dylan Baker) and Carnage (Seth Green).

my first post, im so excited. i love poppin’ cherries…
so, my vote goes to bringing in the mob, kingpin, the old vulture guy. one of my fave tv story arcs was the mob fighting itself for control and petey getting in the crossfire. so the mob comes in, perhaps spiderman doesnt have the greatest triumph, but he beats some low level tuffs. sets it up for more to follow. mob gives us vulture, kraven, rhino, scorpion, shocker, all valid options for sinister 6. vulture hires alister or mysterio or whatever, chameleon. not every villain needs days of set up. rhino an’em are just tuffs, given a boost. blackcat could come in add supersoldier serum to the mix, capt am. tie in there. and just to comment on who should be blackcat, a strong female with some curve too her, not some skinny twiggy. i like stiles, sevigny maybe, sobieski, lombard though she’s got a couple years on her, and nothing says she has to be a white woman, just somebody to fit the part, sultry, sexy, vixen material. but not halle:)

@Spideyfan
Sin-eater is a great idea, but to do it right you would have to introduce and evolve the Jean Dewolfe/Spiderman storyline for a movie or two first, wouldn’t you. But a def dark chapter and growing point in Spidey’s world. Puma is the one I would like to see though.

@everyone else
Crimelord who runs city, can’t use Kingpin, who cares…the Rose was the crimelord in Spidey’s world anyway. He hires Puma and Kraven to hunt Spidey in the comic books, so why not do a movie about it.

Also, if they did make Kraven a part of this one, that gives you 6 villains that were at some point in time a member of the Sinister Six/Twelve(Doc Oct, Venom, Green Goblin, Sandman, Lizard and Kraven). So they could use that to set up a major two part battle in 5 and 6, if they wanted.

wow rami well the only kool one to change spidey`s life in anyway and since you are going with kristen dunst idea from her last 2 yrs about them haveing a baby by the way is gwen stacy comeing back? so i belive kraven the hunter is the best choice! as well the black cat

By: tyler anderson

tyler anderson — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 00:04:27 +0000

umm yeah thats great rami no carnage and you might not use the lizard what the heck! the only one i belive would change his life big time is kraven the hunter! and might have the kingpin involed as well if the lizard isnt in it as well the black cat jumping in and out in the movie would be epic! cus you see you dont need to know anything about the black cat just that shes into spidey and well she is a bit tide into captain america thats about it and her dad knew peters father or was it his ungle i dont remember. but yeah kraven the hunter would work and the black cat and whats with a red hair child i guess he is going to listen to kristen dunst about them haveing a baby to reboot the flim

SM3′s problem wasn’t because of “too many villains”. It was bad writing. Plain and simple. What did “emo” Peter Parker arguably everyone’s least favorite part of the film–have to do with the villains? What was wrong with Venom wasn’t the choice of character or even actor, but the way the character was presented.

Instead of focusing on the villains they had useless things such as Peter dancing and singing, the MJ and Harry cooking thing and other unnecessary stuff.

I think of the Lizard was the sole villain it would be too similar to SM2. Octavius was Peter’s friend and then an accident turn him into a monster and at the end he was redeemed. In short: a good doctor, who is Peter’s friend and mentor turns into a monster and Spider-Man must stop him, but somehow not hurt his friend.

This story might work with fanboys but the GA most likely will not accept it. It would feel as the same story told with only different characters, and Spidey definitely needs something fresh now, something new.

Plus it would mean yet another sympathetic villain. I know it’s inevitable with the Lizard. That’s why I want another villain to go along with him.

IMO not very many of Spidey’s foes are complex enough to carry a two-hour movie on their own. In fact, I think only GG and Doc Ock can.

And please no Morbius. How many vampire movies and TV shows are floating around these days? He should be one of the last villains used. Especially when more unique villains can be done. This isn’t Blade or Twilight.

Based on what he did in the last movie. why would any of you waste your money to watch a part 4? He owes you guys one, based on that atrocity we got in 07. DONT BUY A TICKET!

I want to see The Rhino finally get some screen-time in a Spider-Man movie…even though I really want him in a Hulk movie too…but he is one of my all time fave villians and would be a great add to a future Spidey movie…mabey not the ‘main’ villian’ but an extra one.

Mr Negative and Menace are cool (as you can all probably tell, I have a thing for the goblin characters haha)

@Yamil: The Crimelord-control of the crime in spideyverse story is what I want, except they cant use kingpin, because the studio that made daredevil (fox?) owns the rights to him

maybe they could substitute kingpin with hobgoblin/green goblin(they could do a “super serum” regenerated me type thing) and the others you mentions

Maybe the best villains might be mobster like tombstone, hammerhead, silvermane, kingpin, or Mr. Negative. they control crime in the city and would give it a more mature feel.
