I'm really not sure what to make of this. A site which advertises itself as the official page for actor Irfan Khan has a report featured on its main page which states that the Bollywood actor will be playing the monstrous Proto-Goblin and that Welsh actor Rhys Ifans is set to star as Norman Osborn/Green Goblin, despite previous reports leading us to believe that he'll be playing Curt Connors/The Lizard. Here it is for you to read for yourself.
As I'm sure you'll have noticed, the site seem to believe this is a sequel to
Spider-Man 3, possibly an easy enough mistake to make for anyone not familiar with the concept of a superhero reboot. If this is in fact the official site for the actor, it leaves me wondering where exactly they have gotten the idea that Ifans will portray Norman Osborn. From Khan himself? This report also seems to confirm that he'll be portraying Proto-Goblin!
I really have no idea what to make of this as there has to be some weight behind a report on an official site for a star of
The Amazing Spider-Man. Right? If so, it looks like all these reports of the Lizard have been a clever misdirection by Sony. Be sure to share your thoughts in the ususal place!
With an all star cast that includes Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man, Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy and Rhys Ifans,
The Amazing Spider-Man is set to be released in 3D on July 3, 2012!
