SPOILER WARNING: If you aren't interested in knowing details about who actor Colm Feore will be playing in THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2, then turn away now.
THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 is currently in production and we've seen a whole slew of images, both from director Marc Webb via Twitter and from a number of on-the-ground sources snapping set pics. Thus far, it's been a very interesting film to watch develop, as the filmmakers work their hardest to keep details under wrapsk, while shooting in the public eye. Not an easy thing to do these days. Today, comicbookmovie has the inside word that actor Colm Feore (THOR) will be playing none other than Adrian Toomes AKA The Vulture in the superhero sequel.
Given that Feore's role has been kept under wraps with absolutely no mention of who he's playing, it sounds perfectly legit, especially when you look at Feore. It's pitch perfect casting. How much of a role Feore's Vulture plays in the sequel is unknown, but CBM says that is will be bigger than we may think, saying:
"…apparently he will join forces with Rhino, Electro and Green Goblin to form the first four members of The Sinister Six, setting them up for the threequel."
With rumors that Chris Cooper's Norman Osborn will make some semblance of an appearance as The Green Goblin and the inclusion of The Vulture to the line-up of Electro and Rhino, it's readily apparent that the producers are stacking the villains high. It's almost a foregone conclusion that they're building to a Sinister Six showdown for the third film, which I'm sure will irk some fans who are more into the one-on-one formula, but for others it's the opportunity to see the classic villain team-up come to life. I'm not a huge fan of the first film, but I've grown rather fond of these developments and am looking forward to seeing which direction this film takes. So far, I'm intrigued as hell.
THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2, starring Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Jamie Foxx, Paul Giamatti, Chris Cooper, Colm Feore, Martin Sheen, Sally Field, Felicity Jones, B.J. Novak, and Shailene Woodley starts spinning its massive web on May 2, 2014.
