I know this belongs in the Hollywood section, I just felt like it has a better place here, if you disagree, feel free to move the thread mods.

Minimal details have been released about the new storyline, but apparently Peter Parker will actually have parents in this one. Whether the parents will have much on-screen time is still unknown, but a mama and papa Parker have been cast.

In addition, he'll have not one, but two villains to deal with: Rhys Ifans (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows, Part 1) as Dr. Connors/The Lizard and now, Khan as Nels Van Adder/Proto-Goblin alongside his wife, to be played by Annie Parisse (Rubicon, Fringe).

The villain Van Adder {Also spelled Van Atter} is not a very well known nemesis of Peter Parker, {as he was only mentioned once in the comics} but is an employee of Osborne Corp. -turned experiment -turned red monster ' turned "Proto-Goblin."[/quote]

Bollywood Star Calls His 'Amazing Spider-Man' Villain Role 'Pivotal'

Posted 5 hrs ago by Adam Rosenberg in Marvel, News

Marc Webb's upcoming reboot of the Spider-Man movie franchise now has an official title: "The Amazing Spider-Man," adopted from Marvel's most popular comic book series about the New York City-dwelling wall-crawler. And now the Bollywood star playing one of the film's villains has offered up a few more comments about the mysterious character he'll play in the project.

"The role [in HBO's 'In Treatment'] got me some good reviews there and I think the industry there is aware of my work," said Irrfan Khan in an interview with NDTV (via ComicBookMovie). "Marc [Webb] had seen me and wanted to work with me and approached me for this role. I play one of the villains in the movie. It is a pivotal role.

The name of Khan's character in the film, "Van Atter," has led many Spider-fans to speculate that he could be playing obscure 1990s character Nels Van Adder, who fought Spider-Man after being transformed into a monstrous beast (called "Proto-Goblin") by one of Norman Osborn's early experiments. Others have guessed that Khan will play a supporting role rather than a major villain.

However, if it's indeed a "pivotal" role he'll play in "The Amazing Spider-Man," the rumor mill should certainly pick up some speed again.

In related news, "The Social Network" Oscar nominee Jesse Eisenberg said in an interview that he'd love to work with his Facebook biopic co-star Andrew Garfield again. No quotes about Spidey, but UK outlet Metro reports that Eisenberg said as much in an interview at last night's BAFTA Awards.

If nothing else, Eisenberg's interest could mean we're that much closer to a "Marvel Zombies"-style crossover between "The Amazing Spider-Man" and "Zombieland."

Okay, maybe not...

Who do you think Khan will play? Can you think of any good known Spidey universe roles for Eisenberg? Let us know what you think in the comment section or on Twitter!
