The Amazing Spider-Man star Rhys Ifans is shedding light on the Lizard’s return in Spider-Man: No Way Home. The sequel set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe pits Peter Parker (Tom Holland) against multiversal villains from other worlds, including Green Goblin (Spider-Man’s Willem Dafoe) and Doctor Octopus (Spider-Man 2’s Alfred Molina). Also confirmed to return is Jamie Foxx as Electro, the electrifying enemy who shocked the wall-crawler of his world (Andrew Garfield) in 2014’s The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Also revealed in the trailer: all-CGI villains Sandman, played by Thomas Haden Church in 2007’s Spider-Man 3, and Lizard, played by Ifans in 2012’s The Amazing Spider-Man.
With Spider-Man’s identity now revealed, our friendly neighborhood web-slinger is unmasked and no longer able to separate his normal life as Peter Parker from the high stakes of being a superhero. When Peter asks for help from Doctor Strange, the stakes become even more dangerous, forcing him to discover what it truly means to be Spider-Man.
