Spider-Man Versus Rhys Ifans
Mon, October 11, 2010 
Within the next couple of hours, we're going to hear nothing but rumors from both the honest-to-Christ people in the know and losers dressed up in costumes from Grandma’s basement on this one.
Sony has officially announced Rhys Ifans (best known as Spike, the idiot roommate of Hugh Grant in Notting Hill) has been cast as the villain in Marc Webb's Spider-Man reboot. Just what Spidey heavy will the actor (also set to appear in Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows) is the big question and the studio isn't planning on answering that anytime soon.
Personally I have no idea, and there are honestly any number of baddies he could be portraying – yes, including Venom, as earlier rumored to be circled around Phillip Seymour Hoffman. I was particularly amused to see in their press release how it was his performance in Roland Emmerich's Anonymous that helped secure him the role.

My money is Electro!
Cool newsvillain is cast. They I hope they don't do venom or the goblin right no i rather see lizzard, electro, shocker, or mysterio. As for the actor I don't know his work but hope he does the role well.
