Christopher Nolan can obviously keep a secret, one of the worst-kept secrets in recent memory concerns who will be the main baddie in Sony's new Spider-Man reboot. Everyone and their Aunt Mae already guessed correctly that it's going to be The Lizard, and now actor C. Thomas Howell (Southland) has made it even more official with his recent appearance on the Retroradio Podcast.
The ’80s star has been cast in a bit part in Marc Webb's upcoming Marvel film and below he gives the details:
With Andrew Garfield slinging webs (and earning Martin Sheen's praises) in The Amazing Spider-Man, it seems that Spidey fans will finally get to see the battle between the tragic and primal Dr. Curt Connors and his friend/enemy Peter Parker. Hopefully, Webb's film will handle the tale better than Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3 did with Venom.
The Amazing Spider-Man is scheduled to hit theaters in 2D, 3D, and IMAX 3D on July 3, 2012.
