Some here don't seem to know the story behind Man-Wolf.First of all, John Jameson is the Man-Wolf. He becomes Man-Wolf when he discovers a small, red stone on the moon. He has the stone mounted in a necklace, but the stone grafts itself into his throat.
The stone tries to turn John Jameson into a Stargod, but the transformation is incomplete, making him become a wolf-creature instead.
As far as who the next villain in the Spider-Man movie franchise should be, I would go with one of the characters already established, but with the addition of Thomas Hayden Church to the cast, it looks like it will be a new villain altogether. I've heard it will be Sandman and Hobgoblin, and if that is the case, I have no more faith in the filmmakers. Why establish John Jameson, Curt Connors, and Harry Osborne if none of them will be used? I will say I had my hopes that Church might portray Dr. Michael Morbius, who no one here has mentioned, but if it were executed correctly, the next Spider-Man film could not only be exciting, but scary.
Frankly, there are plenty of villains to choose from, and my choices for villains would be as follows:
Kingpin - No powers at all, just sinister. No powers is not as much fun, but it makes it more believable.
And only as long as the part is recast to be more in line with the comics.All of the following have powers from fictional machinery and science
Green Goblin
Hobgoblin
Dr. Octopus
Mysterio
ChameleonAll of these have special powers and abilities from science gone awry
Morbius
Man-Wolf
Lizard
Scorpion
VultureSome villains I would avoid like the plague because they are too outlandish. These would be Sandman, Electro, The Rhino, etc. When making a comic book movie, one question should be posed: "What if all this was real?" In other words, what would it look like in reality? How would real people react to these characters? Richard Donner used the word "verisimilitude" when making Superman. I think these filmmakers should get back to that basic tenet and the films will remain true to form.
i do think that King Pin should be in the films. but u said to recast him...why? Michael Clarke Duncan did a great job as king pin in Daredevil. he was easily the best part of the movie. it would add diversity to the character lineup to have him in the films.
dude, if they ever wanted to do vulture, i found the PERFECT actor for the job!!
