Welsh actor Rhys Ifans is set to star as the villain in the biggest blockbuster of his career, The Amazing Spider-Man. Though he appears as the very-human Dr. Curt Connors, for much of the film we’ll see Ifans as the scaly Lizard.
Rhys Ifans is a gifted actor known for his enduring presence, his distinctive approach to comedy, and his ability to elegantly disappear into compelling and complex roles that are always memorable.
Ifans confesses that not only did he not expect to get the part, but he didn’t even like Shakespeare’s work at first!
Ifans, who plays the film’s main villain The Lizard, immediately began his rant by stating that he wanted to come to Comic-Con to see if comic book fans were anything like Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons.
