Sony continues to fill out its "Spider-Man" roster, this time with the franchise installment's newest villain, for which the studio has tapped thesp Rhys Ifans. Ifans will rival Andrew Garfield as the web-slinging super hero and Emma Stone, who was recently announced to play Spidey's love interest Gwen Stacy.
Sony declined to reveal which villain Ifans will play.
"We have been very fortunate to attract some of the best actors working today to play the villains in the 'Spider-Man' movies, and it is exciting to see that trend continue with Rhys Ifans," said Colombia Pictures prexy Matt Tolmach.
Ifans joins the franchise's villainous ranks, which has included Alfred Molina, Willem Dafoe, Thomas Haden Church and Topher Grace.
Marc Webb will take over helming credits from previous "Spider-Man" director Sam Raimi, with James Vanderbilt penning the script. Avi Arad and Laura Ziskin will produce.
The "Spider-Man" pic is set to go into production in December and will be released in 3D on July 3, 2012.
