Not groundbreaking, or even surprising news for that matter, but a nice little tid-bit none-the-less:
Dylan Baker, the man who has portrayed Dr. Curt Connors in the last two Spider-Man movies, has confirmed that he will in fact be in Spider-Man 4. UGO caught up with him at a screening of his latest movie ‘Trick ‘r Treat’:
Dylan Baker and Michael Dougherty were at a presentation of Trick ‘r Treat last night at New York’s Walter Reade Theater for Lincoln Center’s third annual “Scary Movies” program.
During a post-screening Q & A, Baker confirmed that he is on board for Sam Raimi’s forthcoming Spider-Man 4. According to reports, Baker said that he had just gotten his first call concerning Spider-Man 4 that very day. Baker appeared in Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man 3 as Dr. Curt Connors, a professor at Empire State University.
When Dougherty ribbed him about “just appearing in the background” Baker said that, basically, that’s what he’d be doing. It was unclear if they were being truthful or if, in fact, Dr. Connors would become supervillain The Lizard in this fourth entry in the film series. During their riffing, Dougherty used the phrase “co*ktease for another year” as to whether or not we’d see The Lizard.
