Message: <blockquote data-quote="SteelDraco" data-source="post: 180040" data-attributes="member: 359">So, a sequel?Ah, some follow-up thoughts about a sequel. Obviously, they're going to be making one - it's already in the works, in fact. So, who should they go with for the next villain?Doc Otto Octavius - A great bad guy. He would kick ass and look cool doing it. It'd give us a chance to see the scientist side of Parker, which I think is something that the movie lacked. He's Peter gone bad - someone who uses their power for their own gain, rather than for the betterment of all mankind. He starts out as an idol of Spidey's, so you get some emotional conflict going there. Probably my top pick for villain for the second movie.Venom - You'd have to rewrite his backstory to avoid doing the Secret Wars, of course. The 90s cartoon did this pretty well; they could do something similar. In that, the symbiote was brought back from space, and merged with Spider-Man when he saved some astronauts after a crash. Problem is, the movie would have a long period without a primary bad guy, while SM is slowly realizing that his new suit is doing bad things to him. After he gets rid of it, you've got Venom, but what to do during that low period? Hmmm.The Lizard - I think this would be cool. Another Jekyll/Hyde story, like the Green Goblin, so I doubt this will be what they go with next. Still, it would be cool to see Spider-Man going through the sewers of New York, fighting mutant lizards before finally meeting the big Lizard himself. Connors is another role model of Spider Man, too.The Kingpin - The Kingpin is an important part of the Spider Man mythos, but he's hard to do as a villain. The thing is, he needs some kind of super-henchman to go after Spider Man, as he's no match for the wall-crawler himself. Rhino, Electro, and Scorpion have always filled this role quite nicely. A good basic plot would be if we start with some kind of increased criminal activity. SM fights against it, getting hints that something is directing it. Kingpin creates (Scorpion) or hires (Electro, Rhino) to get rid of the interference in his plans. They duke it out, and then SM tracks Kingpin down and brings him to justice. Harry the Green Goblin or the Hobgoblin - I think it would be a poor choice to do this with the next movie. There are a wealth of good villains out there, and going with essentially the same one for the next movie would sort of cheat the moviegoing audience, IMO. There are, of course, many others they could do. Kraven the Hunter, Morbius, Mysterio, the Secret Wars, and more all spring to mind. I think these are the top contenders, though. I'd prefer to see Doc Ock or the Kingpin. Thoughts?</blockquote>
