The big news that Rhys Ifans will be playing Curt Conners has been all over the interwebs lately. It seems like Sony pictures has something, make that nothing to say about it. Over at Hitfix.com they are reporting that Sony has uttered a terse "No comment." when asked if Ifans is playing The Lizard. It seems that the studio wanted the villain reveal to be a secret and that The Wrap let the cat, or is it lizard, out of the bag.
I really doubt that The Wrap was wrong and Sony is just keeping mum for mum's sake. Could it be though, that maybe Ifans is playing somebody else? Spider-Man has as many villains as he does problems and maybe WE all did jump the gun. I don't think so though. I think Sony is trying to keep secrets on one of the biggest movies out there and now they are finding out it's not that easy any more. What say you?
