Paul Giamatti is The Rhino in The Amazing Spider-Man Sequel

This here is the face of a rhino. Strike that, the Rhino, the baddie from the Spider-Man comics whose abilities was yes to smash stuff up, like a rhino. THR says he's another member of Spidey's rogue gallery giving him grief in the Amazing Spider-Man sequel.

Like Electro, they're striving for Oscar-worthy talent versus Andrew Garfield. Paul Giamatti is in talks. A casting item years in the making, he confessed his desire to wear the horn on Conan a couple of years ago:

Giamatti as Rhino, Jamie Foxx as Electro and Dane DeHaan as Harry Osborn (His villain status here remains TBD) - sounds like they're going for the Sinister Six. Was that always the plan on the sequel or is this an answer to The Avengers? A couple of superheroes versus one supervillain and aliens, you say? How about one superhero versus a bunch of supervillains, mothafucka?!?

The Webhead has the best roster of antagonists in comics-land (Sorry, Bats!) You might as well exploit it in the movies while you can, Sony - before Disney gets its stinking mouse-mittens on the web-slinger.
