Isn’t it strange that Spider-Man 4 has no villains yet, while the start of the official shoot will be on March 2010 already? Sam Raimi confirmed that they are still looking for a proper villain for Spider-Man in the 4th sequel. He said he was thinking of a villain that would help grow Peter as a person and would enable him to battle his internal and external demons. Though Sam Raimi loves the story of “The Lizard” which consistently shows itself as a cameo in the previous installation as Dr. Connors, yet he feels it’s not the right villain for the web crawler.

“What we’re trying to do right now is really understand the journey Peter is going to go on this time and have the villain maybe be a counter to that growth, something that he has to overcome. Or maybe he has to grow in a way to overcome the villain, because there always seem to be stories of coming of age, of a young man growing up and learning things about life, so once we are identifying the exact movement that Peter has to grow to, I think the villain-and we’re trying this right now; we’re trying to choose a villain based on who would be the proper counter to that growth, so we really have dramatic conflict.”

the director said. So fans, its now time for all of you to do a guessing game. hehe
