Spare a thought for poor Dylan Baker, who played Dr. Curt Connors in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man franchise knowing he would eventually be given the opportunity to step up to the plate when reptilian alter-ego Lizard made his live-action debut in the fourth installment. Unfortunately for the actor, Raimi’s series was abandoned, and he had to watch as Marc Webb’s reboot used Dr. Connors as the big bad, with Rhys Ifans and some ropey CGI hardly doing the iconic villain justice.
So far, the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Spider-Man franchise has tried to incorporate villains that haven’t been utilized in live-action before, but we still don’t know who occupies that role in December’s No Way Home. At this point, close to 30 people have been linked with cameo appearances in Jon Watts’ threequel, with the majority of them being actors that have starred in a Marvel movie with even the slightest tangential connection to Peter Parker.
It’s only getting trickier to separate the hypothetical wheat from the speculative chaff, but we’ve heard from our sources – the same ones who told us Thor: Love and Thunder was incorporating Jane Foster’s cancer storyline long before it was confirmed by Natalie Portman – that Lizard and another famed bad guy will briefly appear in No Way Home.
According to our intel, Spider-Man‘s trip through the multiverse will see him cross paths with both Lizard and Chameleon, the latter of whom was once named as a potential adversary for Tom Holland. While they won’t play major roles, it could lay the groundwork for both to have a much more significant involvement in the future, once the dust has settled around the MCU’s multiverse, the pieces have shifted around the board and Holland signs a new contract.
