And Spiderman's new villain is ...

It was announced today that Rhys Ifans (the kicker in Replacements) will be the main bad guy in the Spiderman reboot opposite of Andrew Garfield's titular character. This news comes a week after it was announced Emma Stone (Easy A, Zombieland) would play the love interest, Gwen Stacey.

What was not in the announcement was what character Ifans would play. There has been tons of speculation, but no hard evidence. The most popular idea is Doctor Connors/The Lizard, but I simply don't seem Ifans play a dedicated scientist very well. My guess would be he is the guy that kills Uncle Ben and happens to have some link with Spiderman, such as being The Vulture or something along those lines. I am hoping for a Goblin-free movie, personally, but I can't think of anything else Ifans could be. Look for more information coming soon.

Who do you think Rhys Ifans could be? Do you have a villain you would like to see?
