While villain rumors for the impending Sam Raimi film, Spider-Man 4 have been circulating through the internet like wildfire lately, MTV recently sat down with Tobey Maguire and asked him for his opinion on a few villains that have been bandied about for quite some time.

Maguire said;

“I’m more familiar with Lizard and Mysterio, and I don’t know — I like them as villains,” Maguire told MTV News. “I think they’re great, and Lizard obviously has a very personal relationship with Peter Parker, so we often will go towards that kind of stuff.”

[Rant]

While I’d love to see The Lizard in all his glory up on the big screen, I do have one problem with it. I really think the character of Conners/The Lizard is way too similar (from a relationship to Peter perspective) to Doc Ock. I loved Spidey 2, so that’s not necessarily a bad thing but I think it may come off as too much of a re-hash. What do you think? Let me know in the comments.
