Concept Art Featuring The Lizard For SPIDER-MAN 2 & Alternate Looks For The Silver Surfer

Concept Art Featuring The Lizard For SPIDER-MAN 2 & Alternate Looks For The Silver Surfer

It's fair to say that Marc Webb's take on The Lizard (Rhys Ifans) in The Amazing Spider-Man divided fans. But, if you ever wondered how Sam Raimi's version of The Lizard may have turned out just take a look at the artwork Constantine Sekeris created for Spider-Man 2.

Some of you may be shocked to learn that director Sam Raimi was initially planning to have Dr. Curt Connors (Dylan Baker) turn into The Lizard for Spider-Man 2. He, along with Dock Ock, Black and Harry (James Franco) as the new Green Goblin, were all to be featured in the sequel, but screenwriter Michael Chabon suggested narrowing the field down to just Otto Octavius (Alfred Molina).

So, as I was scouring through Constantine Sekeris' website today I came across concept art of a reptilian figure. I asked the artist if it was for The Amazing Spider-Man. He then emailed me back explaining that it was actually created a long time ago for Spider-Man 2 when the choice of villain(s) was still up in the air.

Also below, you can find werewolf designs for Joss Whedon's Cabin In The Woods, Freddy Krueger make-up designs for 2010's A Nightmare on Elm Street, creature designs from NBC's Grimm, and different versions of The Silver Surfer's chrome look for Tim Story's Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer.

The lizard is a lame character. Even with the snout he wouldn't work well on screen

Yeah this Lizard design isn't that great either, but I think I like it better than the TASM design. Which really isn't saying much mind you...

The designs aren't that good but Spider-Man 2 is still one of the best comic book movies ever.

*Feels insulted at Lizard insult, insults irrelevant design of another movie*

Comic accurate DESIGN comes second to actually looking good on the big screen.

You have to make sure the design doesn't look completely stupid in the movie. Lizard looked like shit, non threatening, based on an old obviously outdated prototype design.

Banes comic design did him no favors, considering he wasn't popular at all and considered a joke (Even the TAS creators originally didn't want Bane in TAS because they thought he was lame, and his VA in TAS is laughable anyway).

The Arkham games even messed him up bad.

Banes movie design is badass, you don't have to think so, but everyone I know loves the TDKR design.

Because of Nolan, Bane is actually a relevant Batman villain now. His lines and voice are emulated by tons of people, and I have a Bane T-shirt I constantly get complemented on.

"Comic accurate DESIGN comes second to actually looking good on the big screen"

Your opinion and one I don't agree with. You don't have to compromise one for the other. The only relevancy Bane has now is amongst those who are Nolan fans. For the rest of the regular folk, he is forgettable. Lol @ "his lines and voice are emulated by lots of people". What world do you live in? Certainly not the same one I do.

I would have loved to see Tobey Spider-man face off against Lizard. The Raimi films felt more like Spider-man to me rather than the dark version we got with Amazing Spider-man.

@thewonderer you don't think bane was a little silly?

Watch this I cringe every time I think about sm3 and tdkr

Good superhero movies can have a lasting positive influence on a real fan these movies were insulting

I happen to like The Lizard in these pictures a lot more then The Amazing Spiderman one.

This one at least looks creepy, the one in TAS looked goofy.

@0bstreperous

You realize a video was like that was made for the Avengers too? So does that make Avengers a bad movie? no. And don't even respond with, "but its not true for Avengers!"

People these days like tearing apart every major release for flaws as a joke. TDKR has problems, Avengers has problems, TASM has a ton of problems, and so did TDK, EVERY movie.

@Ranger14

You don't have to compromise one for another?

Why is Mandarin not oriental in Iron Man 3? Why doesn't he have magic?

Why did they mix two villains badly in Iron Man 2?

Malekith the Accursed doesn't look that much at all as his comic counterpart either.

Why is Thors whole origin COMPLETELY different in the MCU?

You don't have to, but on film not everything translates.

For the rest of ordinary folk?

Bro, South Park had an episode on Bane, Memes are all over the place, I've seen his shirts all over the place.

Get over yourself, and stop attacking me. I see this, you don't allegedly, whatever.

Caps helmet bothered a lot of people in Avengers. It didn't bother me, but not everything translates to film.

Anyway, I remember that Spider-Man 2 was originally going to have Doc Ock, The Lizard, AND Black Cat. Good ol Superherohype days.lol
