Well...that's interesting casting, if true. Great actor, but...the Rhino? I guess it's according to how they go about this. Motion capture? Animatronic suit?

I'll have a wait and see attitude, but I'm not sure about this one...

Rhino's an awesome choice (I feel), but I thought he already fought Rhino in the video game. I wonder how they would make it work, say he broke out prison or something, was never captured, etc.

Good actor, but The Rhino, really?
Couldn't they have asked Woody Allen for the part? Or Rick Moranis?

So, we have riots when Electro is played by Jamie Foxx but a middle aged, diminutive actor, best known for playing whiny weasels is cast as the Rhino, eschews no outrage?

Was Wallace Shawn busy?

[The Toyroom]

I hate when they double up on villains for a movie....

Inconceivable!!!

I'm assuming the Rhino will be mostlly CGI just like the Lizard. Also, his whole schtick relies on his costume, so I doubt they'll change it too much. Electro is just wrong...no costume, wrong race...

[Earth 2 Chris]

I could be scared of Jaimie Foxx. My 11-year old son could take out Paul Giamatti. Again, great actor, but I don't see him in the role. But maybe they'll prove me wrong.

I think otherwise, the casting of Giamatti implies to me that we'll be getting a Teenage Mutant-esque CGI mutant looking Rhino. If they were casting somebody burly or imposing, I'd hold out hope for the classic costume.

The Spider-man franchise is being ruined with this series. Amazing Spider-man was a disgrace of a movie. The acting of Andrew Garfield was horrible and the entire movie felt like a trip to the dentist. Now they are making a sequel to this crap. Spider-man is my favorite superhero. I loved the first three Spider-man movies and wished that they would have continued onward with the same cast and directors. Paul Giamatti as Rhino will be just as bad as Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze. And Jamie Foxx as Electro...do I really need to say more? The Amazing Spider-man series will be just as bad as Joel Shumachers two failed attempts at making decent Batman films. I predict after this sequels low acceptance rate by the fans, we will be seeing another direction for Spidey.

Another stupid casting choice.....should have got Brock Lesnar, not some short pudgy dude.

Now all we need is Donald Trump to play Kingpin and we're all set.

Hammerheard, you've failed your past 3 assassinations. So, I'm sorry to say.... you're firawd!
