A while back we exclusively revealed that Colm Feore would in fact be playing Adrian Toombes (aka The Vulture) in The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Now, director Marc Webb has since denied this (we'll see how it shakes out come movie time) but while chatting to SHH about various aspects of the film -- including Gwen Stacy's rumored death -- long time Marvel producer Avi Arad hints that we will at least see The Vulture at some point in the franchise, while also suggesting that there may be many more classic villain appearances in the horizon. Here are the relevant excerpts.
SHH: A lot of people want to see the Vulture still and I know that was an earlier plan and the Vulture offers something different—he offers flight which we haven't really seen yet.
Arad: I'm sure his time will come. (Note: Colm Feore is rumored to play Adrian Toomes in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, so the chance of seeing him don wings for the third movie is very likely at this time.)
SHH: Do you think you might bring back some of the other old villains now that you have brought back the Osborns in this movie? Doctor Octopus is a popular Spider-Man villain and Sandman is as well, both members of the Sinister Six, too.
Arad: Well, let's put it this way, when you see the movie, you tell me. But that's all I'm going to say.
Of course this isn't the first tease regarding future villains from SDCC this year, so it definitely seems as if Webb and co. have big plans for plenty more Spidey foes. What do you guys think of the prospect of seeing rebooted versions of Doc Ock, The Sandman, Venom etc?
