The Amazing Spider-Man is due to hit our big screens this summer, and while Andrew Garfield is getting into the swing of playing the lead role, Welsh actor Rhys Ifans is getting to grips with playing his arch nemesis, that slimy, evil character, The Lizard…
But let’s be honest it, this kind of role can’t be too difficult for Ifans to play, he must be used to playing slimy characters by now, he’s played enough of them!
Ifans begins the film as Dr. Curt Connors, but after mixing his DNA with that of a lizard, he is transformed into…well, into The Lizard, that green scaly villain who goes head to head with Spider-Man.
The actor, 43, recently revealed how thrilled he was for the opportunity of taking on the unusual role: “Well the shooting process was just thrilling, it’s such a huge film, with a huge budget, it was amazing.”
“I hope we do it justice. These are not just American heroes, they’re heroes for all of humanity.”
I for one cannot wait for the return of the new web-slinging Spider-Man and looking forward to seeing how evil Ifans can be. However, it remains to be seen if Ifan’s Lizard can succeed where the likes of Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, Sandman and Venom already have…only time will tell!
