Philip Seymour Hoffman To Play Venom?

Deadline reports Sony is loosely talking about casting Philip Seymour Hoffman in the new Spider-Man reboot. Interesting enough it's the villain who got seriously burned in the last film, Venom. Raimi obviously ran the character through the ringer with serious miscasting and making him a third wheel villain. Now it looks like the studio could be trying to re-introduce the anti-hero/villain. I doubt they would make Venom the main villain with talk of heavy weights like The Lizard and Kraven The Hunter rumored for the reboot. I have a feeling it could be the studio finally moving forward with their Venom spin-off written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (Zombieland, Deadpool). Personally I'd rather see Hoffman playing Venom in a solo film instead of Spider-Man. Christoph Waltz who plays villains in both Inglourious Basterds and Green Hornet has also been rumored for the movie.

Spiderman 4 in 2011

Although it hasn't been officially announced yet we can already be sure that there will be a fourth installment to the Spiderman movie series.

Who will be Spiderman's foes in the next sequel to Spiderman? Well the question can't be answered so far as even the production probably doesn't know it: they're still working on a draft of the synopsis.

Let's try to guess who could be the mortal enemy:

1. Lizzard (aka Dr. Curt Connors who appeared in Spiderman 3) Good chance to my viewpoint too !
2. Electro
3. Hydroman
4. Mysterio Unlikely, but I like the idea of a Mysterio ;-)
5. Carnage Highly probable! Remember: Dr. Curt Connors still has a sample of Venom...
6. Chameleon
7. Shocker
8. Vulture
9. HogGoblin
10. Rhino

Well let's be honest: for now, quite difficult to really guess who will be the next super-villain in Spiderman 4...


But maybe the truth is out there. Should ask to Madame Web !
And what if she's in the cast of Spiderman 4 ? ;-p
