Scooped on Monday, October 11, 2010
Rhys Ifans has been cast as the villain in Spider-Man. But which character the Welsh-born actor will be playing is being kept a secret by the studio.
"What sets the Spider-Man villains apart is the complexity of their relationships with Peter Parker. Rhys' incredible ability to embody both warmth and rage makes him the ideal choice for this character," said Spider-Man director Marc Webb in a statement released by the studio today.
Ifans played the part of Spike in Notting Hill. He'll be next seen next month in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and then next year in Anonymous.
"After seeing his performance in our upcoming film Anonymous, we're in awe of his talent and think he's the perfect choice to take on this role," added Matt Tolmach, the president of Sony Pictures.
