The Lizard Slithers

Though cast earlier this week,Welsh actor Rhys Ifans will play the Lizard in the upcoming Untitled Spider-Man Reboot according to The Wrap

In the comics, Dr. Curt Connors is a Florida surgeon who lost an arm during a stint in the army. Returning to civilian life as a research technologist, he tried to re-grow his amputated arm using an experiment in reptilian limb regeneration. The procedure worked but eventually turned him into The Lizard.

Dylan Baker played the role of Connors in the previous Sam Raimi--directed films--as Peter Parker's (Tobey Maguire) physics professor, but of course never got the chance to appear as the transformed version of the character.

There were rumors that  Venom would be the bad guy--the character is not going to show up at all,

Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone star


The web head swings back onto the screen in 3D on July 3, 2012. The new film will begin production in early December directed by Marc Webb from a screenplay by James Vanderbilt. Laura Ziskin and Avi Arad will produce the film.
