It has been officially announced today that Rhys Ifans (Notting Hill, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1) has been cast to play the villain in Marc Webb-directed reboot of the Spider-Man franchise. Ifans joins Andrew Garfield (Peter Parker/Spider-Man) and Emma Stone (Gwen Stacy) in the growing cast.
Of course, Sony and those involved with the film are being tight-lipped on which villain he will actually play.
