4 Villains for "Spider-Man 3"


Speaking to IFMagazine, Marvel Studios producer Avi Arad has revealed who the costumed super-villains are in director Sam Raimi's currently filming "Spider-Man 3".

"We have four villains," he said.

"Maybe around Comic Con we'll reveal something and the madness will begin."

Arad confirmed that three baddies are 'Venom', 'Sandman' and the new 'Green Goblin' aka 'Hobgoblin'.

Speculation as to the fourth villain focuses on either the former astronaut known as 'Man-Wolf', or 'Dr. Curt Connors' aka the 'Lizard'.

The human character of 'John Jameson', aka Man-Wolf, has already been confirmed for "Spider-Man 3", the son of 'J. Jonah Jameson', publisher of the 'Daily Bugle'.

Initially an astronaut, John Jameson became possessed by an inter-dimensional 'ruby', which transformed him into the slavering Man-Wolf.

Dr. Curt Connors, aka the Lizard, served as a medic in the military, hoping to find a way to 'regenerate' limbs, but became contaminated by his own serum, physically transforming himself into a bipedal, reptilian humanoid.
