Oct 22 2009Dylan Baker Finally Getting His Shot at Being The Lizard?
No, probably not. But, in a recent Q&A following a screening of Trick 'r Treat, the Spider-Man actor did reveal that he will be reprising the role of Curt Connors--the one-armed scientist who would one day become the reptilian villain The Lizard--in Spider-Man 4:
Baker said that he had just gotten his first call concerning Spider-Man 4 that very day. Baker appeared in Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man 3 as Dr. Curt Connors, a professor at Empire State University.When Dougherty ribbed him about “just appearing in the background” Baker said that, basically, that’s what he’d be doing. It was unclear if they were being truthful or if, in fact, Dr. Connors would become supervillain The Lizard in this fourth entry in the film series. During their riffing, Dougherty used the phrase “cocktease for another year” as to whether or not we’d see The Lizard.
Personally, I can't see The Lizard being a hugely successful villain--at least not on his own. Mainly because I've seen Happiness, and know Dylan Baker the Pederast is a far, far scarier (and tragic) villain. It would be like following up Darth Vader by playing a double-parker.

I think it could work out if they did Kraven and the Lizard. Granted in the last one the cluster fuck wasn't the amount of villains, but rather the combination. Kraven and Lizard would go hand in hand with one another.

I forget who first suggested Larry David as Vulture, but I still can't shake how good that would be.

"double PARKER" - I get it. It's a secret code that they're going to do the whole Ben Reilly clone story, right?

Every time I see that guy, I associate him with his character in Happiness. Dude all raping gay little boys, and letting his son watch. By the way, best ending line ever in that movie.
And #'s 5 and 6: Awesome.

Wait he never let his son watch, he'd watch his son jerk off. Ha, what a mistake! Boy is my face red!

I'm might be wrong. But I swear I remember them killing Dr. Conner off in one of the movies.

@10, When his son asked if he would ever have sex with him, baker said no, he would J**K OFF INSTEAD.
YEAH, YOU SHOULD BE RED FACED.
