Sony have offered the bad guy role for the Spidey reboot to Mr.Nice himself, Rhys Ifans. It is unknown what bad guy Ifans will play, so you can take your pick of the large list of spidey foes. Ifans is a great actor and could certainly tear it up as a bad guy. He’s got a great on screen presence and a ballsy attitude to boot.
Matt Tolmach, president of Columbia Pictures said, “We have been very fortunate to attract some of the best actors working today to play the villains in the Spider-Man movies, and it is exciting to see that trend continue with Rhys Ifans. After seeing his performance in our upcoming film Anonymous, we’re in awe of his talent and think he’s the perfect choice to take on this role.”
