Recently, at a screening for his new movie Trick ‘r Treat, Dylan Baker confirmed that he would be returning to the Spidey franchise as Empire State University’s Dr. Curt Connors. There has been a massive amount of speculation about his character and whether or not he will finally transform into one of Spider-Man’s classic villains, The Lizard.

When his Trick ‘r Treat co-star Michael Dougherty teased that Baker’s role in the fourth movie would consist of him hanging around in the background, Baker replied (perhaps jokingly) that he’d basically be doing just that. Dougherty lamented it would be a “cocktease for another year.”

When asked about Spider-Man 4’s possible villains, Sam Raimi mentioned that he’s a fan of the Lizard. But it’s possible that he’ll hold off on the Lizard until the fifth and sixth films, which will reportedly follow a single storyline.
