The Comic Book Movie website has a great rundown of what we know so far about the new Amazing Spider-Man movie. One bit of speculation is that Christopher Waltz is going to have a cameo or a full blow appearance as Norman Osborn. They also have a pic of what the Lizard may look like and was shown at Comic Con. What are your thoughts?

He is a very good actor. I hope it’s true.
@ Enigma_2099, that’s because you shouldn’t judge off of a toy when comparing to the actual product on film.
I’ll be really happy if Waltz happens, but I highly doubt it.
1.) This is coming from comic book movie, which have been very unreliable in the past
2.) They’re basing all this off of a slip-up of mentioning Waltz’s name in the PSN download for the trailer.
3.) Waltz was an actor they wanted for The Lizard as was Fastbender who turned the role down in order to do First Class.
Still, if this ends up being true, it’ll be great for the film.
The thing about the SWAT team getting turned into Lizard People sounds reminiscent of SHED (God help us)…
ACTIVATE MONKEY BRAINS!
That actually looks much better than the Pez dispenser…
Christoph Waltz as Norman Osborn sounds unspeakably awesome.
Looks like a good choice to me for Norman!!! We’ll see…
PS: HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!!!!!
