"It has been an almost unanimous decision at Sony to keep the character from becoming a villain, in order for bad guys to have human faces. Those familiar with the comic books, The Lizard is a giant reptile and doesn't have the kind of look that Sam Raimi feels can be believable in a live-action movie."
Screw this! "Felicia Hardy will be in the movie, the character will not become The Black Cat, but a brand new super-powered figure called The Vulturess."
After the awfulness of the last film I was still willing to give this one a shot but come on!
I'm sorry but as a long time comic book fan it's just sacrilege to defile a character like that.

From worstpreviews, Movieline got in touch with its sources close to the "Spider-Man 4" production and found out that both John Malkovich and Anne Hathaway are currently in talks to play villains in the new movie.
We already heard that Hathaway will likely play Felicia Hardy, an occasional crime fighter and Peter Parker's past girlfriend who eventually becomes The Black Cat. The site has learned that while Felicia Hardy will be in the movie, the character will not become The Black Cat, but a brand new super-powered figure called The Vulturess.
Malkovich, meanwhile, will play The Vulture, Spider-Man's nemesis who can fly through the air and brandish his sharp wings to attack our hero.
This is shaping up to be another film with lots of villains. Not so, says Movieline. Even though fans have been waiting for Curt Connors (Dylan Baker) to turn into The Lizard, it's starting to look like the transformation will never happen.
It has been an almost unanimous decision at Sony to keep the character from becoming a villain, in order for bad guys to have human faces. Those familiar with the comic books, The Lizard is a giant reptile and doesn't have the kind of look that Sam Raimi feels can be believable in a live-action movie.

This is one of the reasons why Spider-Man 3 was awful.

Seriously. What's cooler than a giant freakin' lizard?

Oh wait! I know. Anne Hathaway in a bird costume. Yeah, that's cool.
