Though Marc Webb has since denied it, a while ago we brought you the news that Colm Feore would in fact be playing Adrian Toombes (aka The Vulture) in The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Actress Felicity Jones is also rumored to be playing The Black Cat, but neither of these have been officially confirmed. In an interview with Total Film Webb admits that he's "intentionally concealing" these things when asked if the actors whose characters we still don't know would be familiar to comic fans -- while pretty much confirming that they will at least be "constructed" from canon.
“Hmmm... Well, how do I answer that? How about this? Anything you expect, you'll be surprised. To be totally honest, I intentionally conceal these things because I want people to be engaged and surprised when they see the film and experience it for the first time. It's not like Harry Potter or Twilight necessarily where you know the stories.
"And we are constructing them from elements of the comics obviously, from the canon, and we pay homage and are very protective of certain elements of the canon, but we want people to experience it for the first time in the theatre and I think that’s an experience that it often robbed from the audience, so you’ll forgive me being coy.”
Do you think Feore and Jones will be playing who we think they will? Or do you think they may possibly be a mish-mash of known characters? Sound off below.
