Now Sony has announced another key piece of casting, and a slight bit of story. The villain and the actor playing him has been revealed. British actor Rhys Ifans has been cast as Doctor Curt Connors, also known as the villain The Lizard. Officially Sony has not commented on the role Ifans will be playing, but numerous sites have been reporting that Ifans will indeed be playing the reptilian villain.
This is a real solid choice, rather than go the Superman route of replaying the same villain over and over, they have ditched the Green Goblin for a bit, and have brought in a fresh villain. Had they kept with the status quo the film might have seemed stale from the beginning, and might have caused the film problems in gaining traction with the public.
As much as I’m getting excited over the film, I’m still a bit tentative about the full production. The film starts shooting this spring, and will be released in July of 2012. We have a bit of a wait in front of us, but at least we’ll have plenty of things to discuss.

I really like what I have been hearing about this production. Especially after seeing Garfield in The Social Network. I am still confused on if Stone is playing Gwen Stacy or MJ. Obviously she is better suited for MJ.
