New Photo Of 'The Amazing Spider Man' Top Villain – The Lizard

Posted byBy Joe Cohen | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

A new photo of Spider Man’s arch nemesis hit the web today. Columbia Pictures has yet to release an official image of The Lizard, whose is played by Rhys Ifans in the franchise’s reboot The Amazing Spider Man. Trends International posted the new promo image of their concept of the scaly reptile.

In The Amazing Spider Man, Parker is like any other teenager trying to understand who he is and how he became that person in the world today. Parker has also built a relationship with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy, and together, they struggle with love, commitment, and secrets. When the character uncovers the mystery behind his parents’ disappearance, all clues lead him to Oscorp and the lab of Dr. Curt Connors. As a former partner of Parker’s father, Connors is the only person who knows the truth about what happened to Parker’s patriarch. Unwilling to hand that information over, Connors unleashes his alter ego The Lizard to bring about the same fate to Parker as his father.

Hitting 3D, 2D and IMAX 3D theaters on July 3, the action adventure also stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Campbell Scott, Denis Leary, Irrfan Khan, Martin Sheen and Sally Field.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
