Rhys Ifans, the British scene-stealer from Notting Hill, is set to antagonize Andrew Garfield in Marc Webb’s Spider-Man reboot.Up next for the actor is November’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 and Roland Emmerich’s new Anonymous, which is coming out next September. It was the latter, a Shakespearean thriller, that convinced the powers that be that Ifans was the right guy for the baddie role.
“After seeing his performance in Anonymous, we’re in awe of his talent and think he’s the perfect choice to take on this role,” a high-up source at the Spidey studio said, without revealing exactly what character the actor will be playing.
Production on Spider-Man, which will co-star reigning It Girl Emma Stone, is set to begin in December for a July 2012 release.
