Marvel Studios' visual development supervisor Ian Joyner recently shared some early concept art for his take on The Lizard which suggested that the Sony Pictures was originally planning to change-up the villain's appearance for Spider-Man: No Way Home. Now, Joyner has taken to Instagram to give us another look at this comic-accurate take on Dr. Curt Connors.
This artwork spotlights a more monstrous-looking Lizard roaring into action in his signature white lab-coat and purple pants.
Fans weren't overly pleased with Lizard's design in The Amazing Spider-Man, and it was a little disappointing to see the character looking pretty much identical when he was reintroduced in No Way Home. Unfortunately, it wouldn't have made much sense to alter his look for the threequel since he, along with his fellow Multiversal villains, were plucked from realities we were already familiar with from previous movies.
Of course, they could simply have implied that his condition worsened after another mutation!
Spider-Man: No Way Home is now available on Digital, and is set to arrive on physical platforms on April 12. Have you re-watched the movie yet?
