While we fully expect to see a terrifying CGI enhanced reptillian villain in this summer’s The Amazing Spider-Man, and we have been given sneak peaks over the last few months as to what The Lizard will actually look like on the big screen. But from the comics though, there is a not so terrifying and sometimes silly classic image engraved in the memories of fans of an upright standing lizard decked out in purple pants and a long white lab coat.
When Spider-Man director Marc Webb was asked by MTV Splash last month on whether the lab coat will appear on The Lizard when Ryhs Ifans’ Dr. Curt Connors transforms, he had this tease to offer. “That’s a good question. Be patient, grasshopper,” Webb said. “[Regarding] the lab coat, be patient… you won’t be disappointed.”
Yesterday Apple Trailers posted two new stills from the film that confirm that (in at least one scene) we will see a reference to the classic look of the Spider-Man’s green scaled nemesis.
You can also check out images from the my coverage of the 2012 Toy Fair where the design of the creature was for the first time clearly put on display.
The Amazing Spider-Man is set to swing into theaters in 3D on July 3rd starring Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy, and Rhys Ifans as Dr. Curt Conners/The Lizard.
