The folks from MTV Splash Page have posted yet another short segment from their interview with 'Curt Connors-Lizard' actor Rhys Ifans, discussing The Amazing Spider-Man. Now elaborating on why he likes 'Spider-Man' as a character, over other comic book heroes, more on 'The Lizard,' and his relationship with Emma Stone's 'Gwen Stacy,' watch below!


"The majority of comic book villains are pure evil, but Curt Connors is an exception," he explained. "Curt Connors is a good man who initially wants to save the world but he gets hungry and greedy and reckless and he pays the price for that."

"I just love the whole Spider-Man thing because Superman is so kind of godlike, he comes from another planet, Batman is this inaccessible, unapproachable millionaire, and Peter Parker is this schoolboy who's bullied and I think that's the kind of enduring appeal to that story," he said. "We can all relate to his bullying and the kind of flux that puberty induces in a young boy becoming a man."

"Emma works with me. Emma's character Gwen Stacey is a student who works at my laboratory," he said hesitantly. When called out on why he wouldn't share more details, Ifans joked, "You don't want me to turn 9-foot-tall and green and covered in scales and lick your face until you die."



The Amazing Spider-Man focuses more on Peter Parker’s high school days and the development of his powers while navigating the troubles of a brainy geek in high school. And starring Andrew Garfield (Peter Parker), Emma Stone (Gwen Stacy), Denis Leary (George Stacy), Rhys Ifans (Curt Conners), Martin Sheen (Ben Parker), and Sally Field (May Parker), the film hits July 3, 2012 in 3D!

Magneto is not pure evil either... I think he's the best villain in CB since he basically think that he's the good guy.

Most of Marvel's villains are not pure evil. I think the Red Skull is probably the only pure evil villain from Marvel...MAYBE minus some of the newer villains that I don't really read.

Carnage is pure evil. Sabertooth and Crossbones are almost pure evil. Really, Doc Ock is pretty close to pure evil in that clinical kind of way.

"wouldn't you guys rather get the reveal of the lizard in the movie rather than a trailer?"

And risk the old Okie Doke? Hell Nall. They need to show people the Lizard as soon as possible. For me, it is the only hope for the film. His voice is stupid but theirs no way their not going to fix that.

Maybe Entertainment Weekly will crack a full cover of him.

Magneto is evil. He wants to prevent genocide on mutants by committing genocide on humans. He is basically a modern day Hitler blaming humans for all the mutants woes, much like Hitler did with the Jews. There is a difference between rationalizing and logic.
