The Amazing Spider-Man has just hit North American theaters and the film is receiving a fair amount of praise for its sense of realism and loyalty to the story of the web-slinger. Of course, seeing as the film is still brand new, interviews with the cast and crew are at a fever pitch. We’ve already seen several reports of members from the production discussing the sequel and now we’re got another one, courtesy of The Hollywood Reporter.

This time, it’s director Marc Webb discussing who the potential villain could be for the sequel, which he may or may not direct.

“I do think it would be tricky to totally invent a major villain, but if I did that it would be The Mime. My big contribution would be a villain called The Mime…. That’s a joke, by the way. A joke.

For those who don’t know, the Mime appears in the Skrull Invasion comic book series as an underground spy. He originally faces off against the New Avengers, with his ability being able to replicate the powers of his foes. Admittedly, due to his origin, it’s highly improbable that The Mime will make an appearance in the sequel to The Amazing Spider-Man, but who knows?

Even though Marc Webb was just having a little fun in his interview, we can never be too sure as to what Marvel is cooking up and maybe we will see the Mime in The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Regardlesslet’s just hope the sequel continues to execute Spidey’s story with care, no matter who the villain is.

Who do you want to see in The Amazing Spider-Man 2?

    i think the nxt villain for the amazing spiderman sequel should be venom,y?cuz they dn’t show him enough only #3 of raimi’s trilogy,the amazing spiderman animated series,comics,and very few games.i no that some ppl say he suck but their stupid,he can kick doc ock’s ass for sure and maybe goblins or sandman’s @ the same time.they stopped the symbiote trilogy cuz venom died quite a few times and finaly never ever came back in the comics and supported the symbiote series with anti-venom,carnage,etc.i should no because i play games and have comics my self,even look at my profile pic,it’s venom!and i no everyone wants to see black on that new awsome costume and spiderman’s darker self.venom is stronger and faster but we all know the good guy wins and spiderman should have a challenge cuz it’s good to attract attention to audiences and make audiences feel like they want the villain to survive.venom is a perfect challenge and some good ways of appearance is make him look more buff and bulkier like the ultimate spiderman game version of venom,try mixing a bit of ultimate spiderman and amazing like first eddie shouldn’t have control over himself and the symbiote and don’t include the venom symbol on his chest til he’s under control and more of a monster voice to talk.skilled movement,high jump ability like the hulk,tentacle like thrashes and ground pounds,who doesn’t like venom except for sam raimi?just the way he thinks and acts and decieves u into thinking spiderman is a bad guy is truley menacing but don’t take my word for,but all of spidey’s fans,new york,the whole world.

      Geez, are you four years old? It’s hard to take anything you say seriously when you write like an illiterate.

    honestly, if we examine the ultimate spiderman comics, there are several paralells. This is just a theory, so we’ll see what happens, but i think the franchise as a whole will end with spidey’s death. in the comics, this was at the hands of the sinister six. Now Mark Webb hasn’t confirmed the possibility of the sinister six or anything more than three movies, but he did comment it would be “at least three” and only laughed and said interesting when asked about the sinister six. If it were me, i’d have Osbourne take the Oz serum as a way to cure himself and he turns all goblin. In number two he begins searching for a way to get spiderman out of the picture and sends Kraven the Hunter after him. This would fail, and in number three he’d send venom, trying to fight fire with fire. Then, in the final installment, i’d bring Kraven, Goblin, Venom, Forcibly reformed Lizard, and Electro after Spiderman to create the team that would be his death. Now of course, Aunt May kills electro in the comics, which in turn knocked out sandman, vulture, and kraven, so if done properly this could carry over despite the villain changes. That just leaves the fight to the finish between goblin and Peter, which i think we all know is coming anyway.

    I know it’s a bit far fetched, but if done right i think it’d make for one heck of a great film series.

    Or, in a much more probably theory, they indeed end it with the goblin for number three, and peter’s death along with him, (taking out the sinister six idea from the comics altogether to make it an easier storyline to work with) and the second is either kraven or venom. As much i’d love to see Electro, i can’t really see it happening as much as some of these other possibilities. My theory is Amazing = Lizard, Spectacular (or spiderman 2 whatever) = Kraven/Venom, and Ultimate (3) ends with Goblin.
