SPIDER-MAN Reboot Has Its Villain: Rhys Ifans As... ???

Sony has let the cat out of the bag - well at least partially. Studio has announced that Rhys Ifans (NOTTING HILL) will be playing the villain in the upcoming 3D reboot of Marvel's SPIDER-MAN.

Ifans lines up beside Andrew Garfield (Peter Parker) and Emma Stone (Gwen Stacy) for casting thus far.

Obviously this announcement will trigger a huge jump in Internet banter on just who Ifans will play. My wager? Dr. Curt Connors - the LIZARD. Why? I think Ifans somewhat fits the mold and more importantly, the studio needs to go with a different villain this time around - no Green Goblin, no Sandman, no Doc Ock.

SPIDER-MAN will hit theaters July 3, 2012. Who do you think Ifans will play?
