Paul Giamatti might be joining Jamie Foxx on criminal square, playing a bad guy in the new ?Spider-Man? movie.
The actor is in talks to play ?The Rhino? in the sequel to 2012?s ?The Amazing Spider-Man?, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The ?Shoot ?Em Up? star would share villain duties with Foxx, who has been cast as Electro.
The Rhino first appeared in Amazing Spider-Man #41 in 1966 as a thug from a Soviet Bloc country who wore a superhuman suit that made him invulnerable while giving him superstrength and superspeed. It also had a deadly horn on top.
In more recent comics, he became a sympathetic figure who found himself allying with Spider-Man.
The character Jones would play has not been revealed.
The role is a dream part for Giamatti, who in the past has said The Rhino was one of his favorite characters when he was a boy.
?I thought Rhino was the greatest thing when I was a little kid,? he told ShowbizSpy in March 2011. ?It was a guy who was basically in this rhinoceros outfit, and I always thought, ?Why don?t they have The Rhino in one of their movies.? But maybe The Rhino wasn?t that big of a deal for anybody but me. ? If they ever go with The Rhino, I would be ready and waiting.?
Around the same time, he also talked about the character on Conan: ?The Rhino was fantastic,? he said. ?He was, like, a Russian guy. He was real fast, and he hit stuff real hard.?
The movie, directed by Marc Webb, is eyeing a February filming start.
Meantime, British actress Felicity Jones (?Like Crazy?) has been asked to come aboard the film too. Her role has not yet been revealed.
