Spidey 4 villains?

So I saw SPIDER-MAN 3 today (along with the rest of North America) and between the incessant sniffling that was going on beside me and the stuff on screen, I was not entirely impressed. Oh well, at least I have SURF’S UP to look forward to. But it’s amazing though, isn’t it, that during SPIDER-MAN 3’s opening weekend, assumptions about the fourth installment are already rampant. The web is abuzz over the rumoured villains in SPIDER-MAN 4 and I realize that we’re all caught in a never-ending wormhole of speculation.

Freezedriedmovies.com is reporting that a reliable source has confirmed that the villains in the next Spidey flick will be the long-rumoured Lizard and the murderous symbiote Carnage. This is the same source who confirmed Sandman and Venom for the third part, and well, he was right. Dylan Baker has appeared briefly in all three films as Dr. Curt Connors and as comic book fans know, he eventually transforms into Lizard. Baker has gone on record as stating he’d be up for playing the part. As for Carnage, he is initially serial killer Cletus Kasady, who after becoming possessed by the same symbiote which transforms Eddie Brock into Venom in the current SPIDER-MAN, becomes the vicious incarnate Carnage. If Carnage does indeed make it into the fourth film, it will have to be considerably darker than its predecessor, which trust me, would be a very good thing. Okay, so now that that’s out of the way, does anyone know who the villains will be in the follow-up to THE DARK KNIGHT?
