Rhys Ifans Offered Role To Play Villain in ‘Spider-Man’

October 11, 2010 By Holly Stafford Leave a Comment

Sony has revealed that Rhys Ifans has scored the role of the villain in their reboot of the ‘Spider-Man’ franchise if he wants it. Unfortunately that is about all we know at this point, as Sony are staying tight lipped as to who that actual villain will be.

Per MTV:

If he accepts the offer, Ifans will join a growing cast list that already includes Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker and Emma Stone as his ill-fated first love Gwen Stacy.

You may not know the actor’s name, but you’ve likely seen him in quirky roles in films like ‘Notting Hill‘, ‘Pirate Radio‘, and a great supporting performance in last year’s ‘Greenberg‘. In addition to this Spider-Man casting, Ifans is likely to become more familiar following his upcoming appearance in the first part of ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.’

What do you think? Does Ifans project enough menace for a Spider-Man villain? And what villain do you think that will be? (I’m going to throw The Lizard out as a left-field suggestion.)

Andrew Garfield Cast As The Next ‘Spider-Man’

July 1, 2010 By Holly Stafford 3 Comments

Sony Pictures has just confirmed by sending out a press release that British heartthrob Andrew Garfield has been cast as the next Spider-Man, scheduled to be released in July 2012 in 3D. The new film will begin production in early December, directed by Marc Webb and written by James Vanderbilt.

Per Washington Post:

“Though his name may be new to many, those who know this young actor’s work understand his extraordinary talents,” said director Webb in a gushing statement that was part of the same press release. “He has a rare combination of intelligence, wit, and humanity. Mark my words, you will love Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker.”

Garfield and Webb got the jobs after star Tobey Maguire and director Sam Raimi, who made three blockbuster “Spider-Man” films together, departed amid story and scheduling issues over a fourth movie. Among others who were said to be considered for the part were Josh Hutcherson, Jamie Bell, Anton Yelchin, and Aaron Johnson. Garfield most recently worked with director David Fincher on the upcoming film “The Social Network.” Other notable screen credits include “The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus,” “Lions For Lambs” and “Boy A.”

What’s your thoughts on this interesting casting choice?
