More Spidey 4 Casting Rumours...


This is only really an unsubstantiated rumour at this time but it seems that Movieline.com are saying that John Malkovich is currently in negotiations to play Adrian Toomes aka The Vulture in the upcoming Spider-Man 4 film and Anne Hathaway is the top choice to play Felicia Hardy... But, and it's a big but if the rumour is true, Felicia won't be portrayed as the much loved Black Cat character but rather a new super villain called "The Vultress". The Vultress? Seriously?

At this time I could definitely see both supposed casting choices hitting the mark (if Anne was donning the black leather of the Black Cat), although I can see someone like Ben Kingsley in the role of Vulture and someone blonde as Felicia rather than these two, but kicking out the Black Cat for a new crappy villainess? Rubbish. Is John even old enough to portray the wrinkly old Toomes Vulture?

This could also mean that the Lizard is stuck in reserve once again whilst the studio fat cats count their pennies thinking that two human roles are cheaper than the completely CGI Lizard alternative! I think they're just scared to try and bring a believable Lizard to the screen, I mean they f****d up royally with Venom so it stands to reason they'd hold off on another animalistic creature and bring more human adversaries in.

Personally I'm hoping for a Lizard/ Mysterio final confirmation as I don't see flying pensioners and hot, big breasted girls being much of a task for old Spidey in his 4th outing... I could be wrong of course.
