We reported a while ago about the possibility that the next Spider-Man film may be on the right track with featuring only one villain rather than try and mix in 3 or 4 of them and totally ruin the movie…well, put all of those fanciful dreams of glory aside because we have yet another Spider-Man Villain Rumor.
While browsing around the “inter-movie-net” the other day, I stumbled across an exclusive article over at our friends at FirstShowing that they received from Movieline that detailed information about two more villains joining Spider-Man. As of right now, Movieline is reporting, cited by a very close inside source, that none other than John Malkovich is in talks to star as the villain “The Vulture.” I won’t try and explain to you who he is because as is the comic book world, he has a very long and exhaustive history and has had many incarnations. Essentially, he is an older villain who employs a flying harness that gives him super strength and youthful energy, enough to fight Spider-Man I would assume.
The other interesting tidbit from that same article is that the great Anne Hathaway (who has been previously linked to other Spider-Man roles) is rumored to be playing a character named Felicia Hardy, who is the altar ego of a villain known as the “Vulturess.” Connection perhaps?
I personally love both of those actors and would love to see them join the Spider-Man universe, but that’s it. Don’t add anymore than this. Two villains who may possibly be father and daughter are enough. Malkovich is greatness and Hathaway will add some much-needed cred to the strong female lead.
What do you guys think of this rumor?

That’s fascinating! I think I’d rather see the Lizard, though… he was one of my faves when I was little. And I do hope they don’t try to mix too many baddies into this one, too. Side note: I love Hathaway, but I don’t know if I can see her as a villain. I suppose this would be a strong addition to her repertoire, at the least.

why??? Vulture is literally THE LAMEST villain EVER! Second place being scorpion. But who wants to see old bird man get his face punched in by Spidey? STOP SCREWING OVER MY CHILDHOOD FAVORITES HOLLYWOOD!!!
Seriously, if it is JUST Connors as Lizard, theyll be fine, but if its Vulture, EVEN IF it is the greatness of John Malkovich, it will blow.
I now have lower then the floor expectations for this movie.

i don’t think the vulture is that terrible of a choice, but making felicia hardy the vulturess? that makes no sense. felicia hardy is the black cat and is a sometimes hero/sometimes thief. why even use that name?
