Rhys Ifans Unveils the Lizard Voice from The Amazing Spider-Man

The Amazing Spider-Man star Rhys Ifans was recently interviewed by MTV, where he unvieled the voice of his signature villain The Lizard. You can check out the actor's interpretation of this long-awaited foe in the clip below.



About voicing The Lizard, Rhys Ifans said the following.

"It's totally my voice. I'm sure the voice will be toyed with in the eventual edits, but when I was shooting the CGI moments, when I wasn't actually human, when I was Lizard, I looked like a crash-test dummy in a green leotard thing. There were many moments when I had to speak to Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone as the Lizard."

The Amazing Spider-Man was released July 3rd, 2012 and stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Martin Sheen, Sally Field, Irrfan Khan, Campbell Scott. The film is directed by Marc Webb.

    @bawnian-dexeus - No no no, your talking about Goldar. His sidekick with the blue face whose name i can't remember has the high pitched voiced lol. Don't know how i still remember all that, too many "morphin times" as a kid i guess lol.

    Dunno why, but he sounded like one of the original Power Rangers villain. The guy with the metal wings and blue face

    Haha! That's pretty good. I just want to see how the hell the Lizard looks in it's final form (in high def, that is). We need another trailer!!

    Really looking forward to seeing how Spiderman is portrayed in the final film, too. I want to see how he looks with the suit on and how the suit will appear from the camera's point of view.....as opposed to all the "behind the scenes" stuff we saw while filming it.

    @rufio LoL, I love it when people agree with me. But then again having an ordinary voice just wouldn't work for something as vicious and monstrous as the Lizard. I mean look at Venom in Spider-Man 3. Just wish there was a little more spin on it.

    @pjwolsker me too LOL (and Love Actually)
    while i agree it is creepy, i have the same reservation as @ROFLitschristian... is it obvious and generic? we'll see in the edits i guess
