Spider-Man's Parents and New Villain Cast!
Sat, December 4, 2010 
Heat Vision is reporting that Campbell Scott has joined the cast of the new Spider-Man reboot. Also Irrfan Khan, Annie Parisse and Julianne Nicholson are currently in talks to join the production as well.
What comes as somewhat of a surprise is Scott and Nicholson are set to play Peter's parents, who have yet to appear on the big screen and have rarely even appeared in the comics over the years. It's unknown at this point whether they appear only in flashbacks or if they have significant roles through out the film.
Khan is set to play the films second villain Van Atter along side Rhys Ifans and Parisse is being cast as the villains wife.
About the only thing interesting me about the Spider-Man reboot thus far is the casting. The most shocking being Martin Sheen as Uncle Ben, Dennis Leary as Captain Stacy and Andrew Garfield for Spider-Man/Peter Parker.
The Marc Webb directed Spider-Man reboot is set to start production early next year for a Summer 2012 release.

cool news on richard and mary casting. i always wanted to see them in film series. so i cant wait to see how they are used. As for the other guy, i am curious to see what he is all about. is he that nels van adder proto goblin or a made up character. personally i hope they are not using a made up guy. When spidey has such wonderful foes that havent been touched yet like electro, shocker, hydroman, vulture, mysterio, etc..... others.
It's the proto goblin
I wonder if that is what they are going to do. Maybe have norman be doing tests on folks like in tssm toon or usm comics to lead hom into becoming goblin in later film.
