Top 10 Possible Spider-Man 4 Villains
// April 19th, 2007 // Comics, Movies
Spider-Man 3 is almost here and we know that Sandman and Venom will be the villains of the film. The first two films in the franchise featured the Green Goblin and Doc Ock. With four classis Spidey villains out of the way, just who does that leave for Spider-Man 4 and beyond? Let’s take a look at the Top 10 Possible Spider-Man 4 Villains:
- Lizard
The Lizard seems to be the logical choice for the next film. We’ve seen Kurt Connors (the Lizard’s alter ego) in the other films and from the previews for Spider-Man 3, he has at least a few lines. Having said that, he would be a very problematic character to bring to the screen. The original incarnation of the character as a semi-smart, man-lizard isn’t as threatening as the late 90’s portrayal, where he was more dinosaur like. Regardless, the visual appeal of the character and his continued presence in the films means he’s a likely choice. - Electro
Don’t let the cheesy costume fool you. Electro is a powerfl villain and would that would be a cool addition to the Spider-Man film universe. I know you can’t have the lightning bolts coming out of your head in a movie, so look for the blue-electrical version of Electro from the Ultimate line of Spider-Man comics to make his way to theaters. - Mysterio
It was rumored that Bruce Campbell would make a cameo in Spider-Man 3 as Mysterio alter-ego Quentin Beck, but I’ve not heard anything else to confirm this. Play him right and Mysterio could be a cool villain. Use his failed movie effects background and really play up the “virtual” creations that he can create. Not sure if he’s ready for prime time or not. He would be a great team player. - Rhino
Even more of a thung than Sandman, the Rhino is Spider-Man’s equivalent to the Juggernaut. The character would have to be huge and completely dwarf Spider-Man to work. Anything less, would be silly. Look to Ultimate Spider-Man and the recent Rhino toy from the Spider-Man 3 line for a visual that might work better in the film universe. - Scorpion
This character has a lot of potential. Mac Gargan was bonded to the Scorpion suit and sent to kill Spider-Man when J. Jonah Jameson paid him to test the process, after Gargan had unsuccessfully tried to investigate how Peter Parker managed to take so many excellent photos of Spider-Man. Go ahead and add Spencer Smythe and the Spider-Slayer robots (also funded by Jameson) and you’ve got a set of villains for the entire film, all stemming from Jameson’s hatred of Spider-Man. - Vulture
Another second-rate villain that deserves a starring role. I doubt the geriatric version would be used, but instead the rejuvinated and younger Adriam Toombs would make it to the silver-screen. Having said that, I think the older version would be more interesting, character wise. I’m not sure how much mileage you could get from a character that lists flying as his only power. - Black Cat
Felicia Hardy would be a great addition to the Spider-Man film series. This cat-burglar reforms her villainous ways after falling in love with Spider-Man. With the addition of Gwen Stacy to Spider-Man 3, it seems like the film series is adding some romantic tension. If both Mary Jane and Gwen make it out of Spider-Man 3 alive, then the Black Cat would be unnecessary. Even though she’s technically not a villain, there’s no denying the potential this character has. - Hobgoblin
Why is one of my all time favorite Spider-Man villains this low on the list? It’s simple, the character’s already been done. With the horrible Mighty Morphin’ Green Goblin from the first film and the Harry Osbourne “New Goblin” in Spider-Man 3, it would be a retread concept and visaully, wouldn’t look anywhere as cool as the comic book counter-part does. - Chameleon
This disguise wearing, espionage master would be an interesting villain in a Captain America movie or as part of a group of villains. He’s just not visually appealing or powerful enough to warrant a star turn in a film. While his “powers” would be a great story device, they don’t pack enough punch to out-do Doc Ock, Sandman, or Venom. Interestingly enough, early rumors had Topher Grace playing the Chameleon and integrating himself into Mary Jane’s life as Peter Parker. - Jackal
I know, most of you will be thinking “who is this mook” and you’d be right. Professor Miles Warren isn’t a popular Spider-Man villain. After the horribly bad Clone Saga storyline from the comics in the late 90’s, most fans would rather not hear his name again. However, if you were to take this character and blend it with the Clone Saga storyline that writer Brian Michael Bendis recently wrapped up in the Ultimate Spider-Man title, you’d have a great, great story. There were several great characters intoduced and lasting changes to the Spider-Man mythos were introduced.
Everyone may have a favorite that I left out. I almost put Kraven the Hunter on the list, but passed. He’s just too one-dimensional for me, although “Kraven’s Last Hunt” from the 80’s is one of the best Spidey stories you’ll ever read.
I would personally love to see the Sinister Six in the next film. This group of Spider-Man villains has (on occasion) been comprised of many of the villains listed above. Several of my picks aren’t really a huge challenge for Spider-Man on their own, but as a group, it’s a different story. Get a good writer to connect a few of these characters and have him face them one at a time in the Spider-Man 4.
Heck, start the film off with him battling Electro. This far into the franchise, the audience could believe that other villains have menaced Spidey, not every one needs a per
sonal theme or connection to him. Heck, if Venom or Sandman make it out of Spider-Man 3 alive, have them gather up the group and go looking for revenge.

i would like lizard and rhino to be in the fourth movie and maybe carnage , but the sm3 was stupid with three villians it was 2 crazy - so if they could fit it all together smartly and wisely than yes it wood be cool also i think it should still be 2 villians !!
i would like more that spiderman4 be against carnage
Hello, mi name is Emanuel. I´m form Santa Fe, Argentina and I would like to know where are these images from.
I ask you this becuse I´ve seen many official handbooks of the Marvel Universe and the images where different.
Thanks.
Emanuel
What about the villain Carnage? I have read hints that Carnage may be in the 4th movie. MJ is in it right? Because apparently Kirsten Dunst didn’t want to do it unless James Franco was in it which seemed impossible since his character has died.
listen you guys, i liked venom too,but if sam raimi directs part 4, there will be no venom,no carnage, no anything to do with the symbiote. i know this because i read all the articles about what mr. raimi said about it. some of you are forgetting a villain who could make it to part 4. remember that mj left john jameson at the alter in part 2. john jameson could possibly become manwolf at the beginning of part 4 and get his revenge for what mj did to him by attacking peter. because sandman was awesome, he could come and team up with spiderman to help defeat hydroman,and of course we all mostly say that its gonna be the lizzard. these are my thoughts about what could happen and it makes alot of sense. i think the symbiote could be back in the story somewhere close to the end of part 4 and all about it in part 5.
carnage would be cool
I WUD LIKE TO SEE ELECTRO OR RHINO COZ THESE R THE TWO VILLIANS THAT WUD MAKE ME HAPPY…..
i think carnage will be in spider man 4 because of lizard took a sample blood on spiderman and himself and combined it then it became carnage
I`d choose Carnage, Lizard, Electro, and Mysterio for the fourth film because these villains are super powerful and could make it so freaking awesome! And I also think they should put Sandman on Spiderman`s side because Sandman and Spiderman aren`t really enemies and Sandman still isn`t dead. That would probably make it even better. If they put only Carnage and Lizard, it wouldn`t make it totally insane like this current franchise.
its cleary obvious that the next villain will be carnage. remember that dr. conor still has a sample of vennom…..hint.hint
Who thinks they should have kraven. It would be cool and work with with kraven and lizard in the one film. And i agree with scorpion having alot of potential cause he does. I also think that a air battle with vulture and spidy would be visually fantastic. If done right. But i think hes got it wrong on the last 2 villains ever making it to the big screen. Their just not popular enough, And only known by the fans of the comics. And they wont put in hobgoblin even though that would be cool. And man you must be on drugs or somthing cause you left out shocker, carnage and kraven.
i THIK THAT IN SPIDER-MAN 4 WILL APEAR SCORPION AND RHINO(POSSIBLY CRNAGE AND VENOM OR KRAVEN AND VULTURE
I think Spaider-Man 4: The Wedding, Felicia Harvy-The Lizard, Electro-main antagonist and The Vulture. SM 5: Black Cat,Clones, Jackal, Kaine, Parker’s Parents ?, Kraven the Hunter and Chameleon (Norman Osborn alive?). SM 6: Mysterio, Hobgoblin/Jack’O Lantern and Sinister Six(Mysterio-main antagonist). SM(The Final)-The Return of Green Goblin:Norman Osborn, Hobgoblin, Spider-woman( IV the fan girl of Spider-man), the characters of return of Norman Osborn and Black Tarantula sagas. Spider/Venom: Carnage, Scream, Scorpion, Shocker, Rhino, Doppelganger, Demogoblin, Shiek, The Live Foundation, Civl War symbiotes(the cene), Anti-Venom and Brock’s Cancer(not fim, but serie).
Hum Doc Ock returns-SM 6-black magic-ninjas
you really need to stop mentioning vulture. he is the worst idea ever.rhino is also a very bad idea. in spiderman 4 it will be lizard and scorpion only.carnage will be in part 5
Spiderman - Green Goblin
Spiderman 2 - Doc Ock
Spiderman 3 - New Goblin, Sandman, and Venom
Spiderman 4 - The return of Venom, Carnage, Lizard, and Electro
ok, eye cross out electro
harry was the hob-goblin and he died in the third film so carnage should be in his spot
no, harry was the new green goblin. Kraven is just as strong as spiderman, which just sucks, cuz we want a villain stronger than Spiderman. SAM WE NEED YOU TO LET VENOM COME BACK AND CARNAGE BUT WE NEED YOU TO COME BACK TO THE CAST SO EXCEPT VENOM AND CARNAGE BUT DIRECT SPIDERMAN 4 PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU`RE GONNA MAKE LOTS OF FANS DISAPPOINTED IF YOU DON`T EXCEPT VENOM OR CARNAGE OR DON`T HOLD FILMING FOR SPIDEY 4 SAM RAIMI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They the hob goblin in the third one.
if they do shocker it should be the version from ultimate spider man game.
carnage wud b awesum.
rhino - intriuging.
scorpion would be brilliant.
i agree with most of your list except:
vulture - crap villan
jackal - looks life a retarded testicle
I Would Say Electro,Lizard And Carnage
Jackal Looks Like a Green Fart Mixed With Smelly Stuff
has anybody heard raimi wants morbius?
i would like to see toxic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!hes a freindly symbiote!!
you`re kidding right, toxin`s a symbiote? a don`t even know who the hell that villain is.
Lizard and Carnage would be great!
Black Cat could be like this sneaky informer for Spidey!
Dr Connors creates Carnage and turns himself into a lizard like he always does.
Lizard and Carnage would be cool. And Black Cat could be Spidey’s sneaky informer.
Story: Connors creates Carnage and turns himself into a lizard. The lizard DNA takes over him and they both try to kill Spidey.
I am going for spider man4 with black cat as a hero and carnage,venom,lizard. And at the last 10 minutes of the game have norman osbourn come back to life like in the comics.I am also on a team that is creating a game called GOBLIN in which you start out as harry trying to find out the truth of his fathers murder by spiderman at first he is in his fathers suit and then after the first mission he goes and gets his suit. I wont tell you a lot about it but its awsome Also there will be choices made during the game which will determine the missions at the end. ITs set to come out late 2012. BUt i will give you a hint to what villians are in it….first spiderman of course but then a few gangs like the arachnids. And you run oscorp of coursee creating your weapons and training.
they should have mysterio. they could do some pretty cool stuff with his illusions
What parts will be Spiderman because someone knows
because like a lot of speed and I think that will be 7 parts
and What do you think?
Todd, what articles?
Where?
i think a good choice for spiderman four is black cat lizard and carnage
first off i think we can rule out carnage being in the 4th spidey movie, let me remind you all that cletus kasady aka carnage is a sick psychopathic individual and would have to be sooo toned down (jus look what they did to venom!!) that there would be no point in him being in the damn movie!!(maybe one for marvel knights who brought us punisher:warzone). as for other would-be SM4 villans, lizard, scorpion & electro are all very high possibilitys and it would be pretty cool to see any or all of em in the same movie.
@Radio,
toxin is the offspring of venom & carnage. vvvvvcool character! & morbius! now that would be sweeet!
