Sam Raimi Discusses "Spider-Man 4" Villains

A whole bunch of new bad guys might be on their way … but still no love for The Lizard?

It’s still completely up in the air: Sam Raimi may or may not be returning to direct "Spider-Man 4" (I’m betting he won’t), but either way he’ll be staying attached to the series as a producer. So when MTV Movies got to chat with the mega-successful moviemaker, the conversation got around to what villains MIGHT arise in the third sequel.

Apparently Mr. Raimi is leaning towards Electro and The Vulture, although he does express some affection for the Dr. Connors character. Played by Dylan Baker, the one-armed professor is supposed to become The Lizard at some point … but we’re still waiting.

One very juicy possibility would be the arrival of The Sinister Six: A super-villain squad that includes Electro, Sandman, Dr. Octopus, The Vulture, Mysterio, and Kraven the Hunter. But surely that’d be too many villains for one movie … but it’d probably be pretty fun.

And as a longtime fan of Rhino, I’m pretty disappointed that he hasn’t been mentioned yet.
