SDCC 2011: Amazing Spider-Man (2012): Lizard Villain Description

The Sony Amazing Spider-Man panel was held a bit ago, with director Marc Webb announcing, to no surprise (we’ve seen pics of scales – see right!), that Rhys Ifans would be Doctor Curt Connors, The Lizard.

What was a surprise – was that Webb brought with him a 3-D clip featuring The Lizard!

io9 was present and posted a good description:

“The CG Lizard appears in a high school girls bathroom (and revealed to two unlucky high school girls). He’s a giant beast, green with oversized arms, and a proportionally smaller head and enormous yellow eyes. He doesn’t have a crocodile head — more of a cross between a lizard and a human’s, with a flat nose, but a grotesque curled mouth. As the two girls are pinned to the wall in fear, a long pink tongue unfurls from his mouth, and we see a row of pointed teeth. The level of detail is impressive — the Lizard actually does look wet, and you can see each individual scale. And yes — he and his tongue were in 3D.”

Head on over to io9 for their full take.

The Amazing Spider-Man swings into theaters in 3-D and is directed by Marc Webb starring Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy, Rhys Ifans as Dr. Curt Connors/The Lizard, Irrfan Khan as Nels Van Adder, Martin Sheen as Ben Parker, Denis Leary as Captain George Stacy, Sally Field as May Parker and C. Thomas Howell as Ray Cooper.
