We Cast 7 Classic Villains For Spiderman 4

Here's who should play Morbius' mates...


 

6. The Vulture



History:
Adrian Toomes was once an inventor for an electronics company. Forced to turn to crime after his partner ruined his reputation by embezzling funds, Toomes used a flight harness of his own invention (which handily gave him superhuman strength as well as the power of flight), to become The Vulture.

Why he’s a fit for Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man: Raimi’s talked about him before, possibly because his history is tragic enough to fit into Sam’s cinematic vision of sympathetic Spider-Man villains.

Who should play him: Patrick Stewart’s done Marvel before in the X-Men flicks – let’s hope they still have his number; he’s Vulture’s doppelganger.

      Although I'm sure they could do some great electricity based set-pieces, Electro has probably the s**ttest, campest costume of all time, that would never translate to the big screen. Any other comers for the s**ttest costume award?

      Typo alert - it's Mac Gargan, not Marc Gangan. I'd go for someone like Michelle Monaghan for Black Cat.

      This is possibly THE WORST hypothetical casting I've seen in ages. Statham? TARANTINO?? As if the news of Morbius being the villain weren't terrible enough already...

      Vulture: Ben Kingsley, he has a more slender look to his face than Patrick Stewart. Also, people will recognize Professor Xavier, and have a hard time getting past that in another marvel movie. Kraven the Hunter: Not Hugh Jackman, someone larger would be better. Also, same problem as Patrick Stewart, too easily recognized as another marvel character will make it difficult for fans to believe the character. Mysterio: Quentin Tarantino would likely try to do his own thing with the character, and probably ruin it. The Chameleon: Doug Jones, the actor that played the Silver Surfer and Abe Sapien. He won't have the problem of character recognition that Patrick Stewart or Hugh Jackman would have as the level of makeup on the characters portrayed before make him unrecognizable for the most part.

      I thought Mysterio was going to be played by Bruce Campbell? ALthough Quentin Tarantino would be very funny!

      Okay. Firstly, All awesome old-school villains that should all be in the marvel movies at one stage (at least). Next, i think your ideas for casting are awesome- Statham as scorpian - genius! Seriously all perfectly fitting the criteria for looks and style. Though perhaps not all the best actors ever but spidey has been missing the comic-book humour that it once had in all the comics. One problem, However. Stewart and Jackman have both already starred in Marvel re-vamps which they are both idetified with world-wide. Although For kraven, Jackman could be hairyed-up mor than normal and giner which may work, if a little sketchy. (and stewarts a bit old to be flug around on wires isn't he? i love the guy but come on be realisitic...) But i'd rather have spiderman work with the X-Men for a film against the sinister six, than have them be played by stuart and Jackman. So, what about Morbius being the villain in the new movie? HELL-to-the-YEAH. If done well it should bring some scary stuff to the movies, because lets face it; we all felt like we could puch venom in the face and get away with it didnt we? Exactly. Good luck Mr Raimi!

      If Scorpion was chosen for the new villain, it would mean that J. Jonah. Jameson would have to have a much larger role within the movie.
