The Mysterious AMAZING SPIDER-MAN Credits Scene

I offer you my thoughts and opinions. MILD SPOILERS

DIALOGUE

Man in the Shadows: Hello, Doctor, did you tell the boy?

Dr. Curt Connors: Tell him what?

Man in the Shadows: Did you tell the boy the truth about his father?

Dr. Curt Connors: No.

Man in the Shadows: Well, that’s very good, so we’ll let him be for now.”

Dr. Curt Connors: You should leave him alone!



So who was this mysterious character (played by Michael Masse) who appeared in Dr. Curt Connors jail cell?

The most popular answer to question seems to be none other than Norman Osborn who was hinted at several times throughout the course of the film. This is quite a valid assumption, however in a recent interview Rhys Ifans states that the mysterious character IS NOT Norman Osborn.

The article from CBM's Josh Wilding can be read HERE

Now I know that when an actor denies something like this that there is never a %100 certainty that he is telling the truth. But just for this article's sake, why don't we imagine he was telling the truth.. who else could it be? Mysterio, Chameleon and Electro have popped up a few times but it was one of Jolt17's comments that caught my attention. He suggested it may be none other than Edward Brock Sr.


Michael Massee | Edward Brock Sr.


"Eddie Brock Senior teamed together with Richard Parker to develop a revolutionary means to heal humanity of disease and illness. Their basis was to create a symbiote, The Suit; the project was named Project Venom."

Sounds a bit similar to the role Dr. Curt Connors played with Peter's father doesn't it? Except they seemed to have swapped Project Venom with Project Lizard (so to speak). So could this be a way of lining up Venom for a future film? Not necessarily the direct sequel coming out sometime in 2014 but possibly the second one, ending the trilogy?

Please, give me your thoughts in the usual place below.

I'm kind of hoping it's Morbius. The whole covered in shadows/disappearing in lighting and thunder routine seems rather vampiric. Also, the current storyline in The Amazing Spider-Man comics features both Morbius and Lizard. Probably just wishful thinking on my part. But I'm -hoping- it isn't Brock. I have no desire to see him or his son/Venom in this series.
MrMurdockk - 7/8/2012, 12:17 AM
Vitrumite Interesting. I can see Morbius fitting the bill, but there's no clear connection he would have to Richard Parker.

He would make for a very interesting antagonist though.

I personally would love if Venom was adapted into this series. Raimi's Spider-Man 3 was a real let down and didn't do Venom / Eddie Brock justice at all.


FreshNoob Hey, you never know man.. who do you think it is?
Viltrumite - 7/8/2012, 12:32 AM
In the video game based on the film, he's an employee of Oscorp, so they're at least considering a connection to Osborn, seeing as the game most likely isn't 100% canon.

I agree with it being a let down for fans of the character. Raimi clearly had no interest in the character; Venom's forced inclusion at the studio's insistence spawns every problem in the film. Unfortunately, the movie just amde me realize how little interest I have in the character myself. It seems to me that they're setting up Flash to be more of a full character this time around, so it may be interesting to see him become Venom after enlisting in the army and losing his legs in the spin-off they're considering, as he currently is in the comics. It would be set within the world of the new series, yet he wouldn't have to actually appear as Venom within the trilogy.

Vitrumite Ahh, I had no knowledge of that whatsoever. Now your claims seem quite valid, and I feel stupid. Haven't touched the video game unfortunately, any good?

I do understand what you mean the way did Venom was VERY unappealing. Yes, I loved how they did flash this time round! Really hoping he sticks around for the sequels and gets more developed. I can see him becoming Venom maybe.. but it's a stretch. Actually one of my favourite scenes had Flash in it. You know the one where SPOILER? Flash is trying to apologise to Peter, concerning Uncle Ben and he just slams him against the locker.. I thought that was GREAT! Basketball scene as well.

Concerning the solo Venom movie though, that seems to be stuck in development hell and I honestly can't see it going anywhere.. if it somewhat intertwined with The Amazing Spider-Man franchise it could work, guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Masse looks like he'd make a good Electro.
MrMurdockk - 7/8/2012, 3:56 AM
fangz Massee's a good actor no doubt, but he's a bit on the old side for Electro wouldn't you say? He's supposed to be more around Peter's age, or a little bit older. Tell you who would make a good Electro though, Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad)

Spidey23 Exactly! I imagine Electro as more Peter's age well.

Great write up. IDK. I'm waiting for more info before I even guess lol.
Tainted87 - 7/8/2012, 7:14 AM
I think it could be Adrian Toomes.
SpeedyX10 - 7/8/2012, 7:43 AM
Dr. Ratha did mention a suit that Richard wore.
CorndogBurglar - 7/8/2012, 8:06 AM
I wish people would stop comparing games to the actual films. at the end of the day, they games are made and have tons filled in to make it longer. Aside from events that happen in the actual movie, everything else kn games can be thrown ojt the window. That has been the case 100% of the time.
Tainted87 - 7/8/2012, 8:29 AM
@IronManFan10
Dr Ratha meant a metaphorical suit.
Suit of righteous indignation. He insists that given Connor's past, the good doctor wears it like a cheap suit now. Don't be embarrassed, you're not the only one who thinks it's the symbiote suit.
Tainted87 - 7/8/2012, 8:29 AM
@CorndogBurglar
You mean Shocker and Mysterio didn't cameo in Spider-man 2?!
ACira - 7/8/2012, 8:44 AM
I hope this isn't Edward Brock Sr, I really don't like how the Ultimate comics handled the symbiote. I don't mind how Venom was portrayed or his design once he got the white spider symbol on his chest, but I still think the symbiote should be an extra terrestrial parasite like the original comics. Also, I hope they take very good care if/when they eventually introduce Eddie Brock to be the symbiote's host. I don't mind that the Ultimate comics made him an old friend of Peter, but Spider-Man 3 took the ideas of him being around Peter's age and stuff and made him a whiney douche-bag.

However, I don't mind them altering the origin of the Carnage symbiote. If they were to use something similar to the Ultimate comics origin for him, and make him the result of an experiment on a sample of the Venom symbiote, that could work.

But yeah... no to Edward Brock Sr. I don't really think the man in shadows really needs to be a character from the comics, he may turn out to just be a representative for Norman Osborn.
webslinger2099 - 7/8/2012, 9:12 AM
no myestero because, their is no other villian that come and disapeare. in spiderman
Spidey31 - 7/8/2012, 9:29 AM
Some of ya'll are over thinking it, it's Osborn who else could it be? They talk about the guy a ton in the film. But it could be chameleon disguised as Norman Osborn. Honestly its very possible we could see chameleon in this series, he also fits the bill for a perfect side villian. He could be the one who blew up the plane that killed peters parents. I think in the sequel Norman will be officially introduced but not be the villian just there as harry's father. Electro is gonna be the main villian and the chameleon will be the Oscorp villian that's spying on Peter but is taken down by Spidey who he doesn't know is Peter.
jjmeylar - 7/8/2012, 10:59 AM
It's an older man, so I started to think that it may be Silvermane, but Brock Sr. makes more sense.
Spidey31 - 7/8/2012, 11:44 AM
Could be silvermane too
Viltrumite - 7/8/2012, 12:10 PM
In terms of the video game, it's not based on the movie's storyline like most other movie-games, but it takes place after the movie. It's almost like a direct continuation, and the game developers are acting like it's fully canon. However, I don't know how much, or any of it, will be retained for the sequel. The new Star Trek game is set between the reboot and the sequel, and I believe it's fully canon. It's always a possibility. Not entirely likely, but I can always hope.
TheRaven20 - 7/8/2012, 5:36 PM
This discussion is so interesting and my theory is... it could be anybody and that the studio may not even be sure or just doesn't want us to think it's any particular person. If this is the case it be a very smart move just because it generates a huge amount of discussion and leaves the door open to numerous possibilities. If they hint to anyone character they're basically confirming that that specific character will be in the sequel, but if they don't hint they have a reason to take it in any direction.
GolfWangNGOD - 7/8/2012, 5:56 PM
@TheRaven20 This is how I think it will go down.


In the game, there was a bio about Scorpion, which included something with a black goo(sound familiar?)and Dr.Octavius. With Peter's parents, namely his dad, he could have worked with Curt Connors, Dr.Octavius and Eddie Brock Sr. They were all working on a suit for a cure for cancer. Using the black goo!He and Mary were injured in a related lab accident when Peter was an infant,which led to his adamant refusal to allow his and Edward Brock Sr.'s anti-cancer super suit to be weaponized by Trask Industries later in life. It was during the legal battle with Trask when Richard, Mary, Edward Brock, Sr. and Edward's wife died in a plane crash. Curt Connors is pissed(hence the movie but what prompts this "World Without Weakness" jazz is the project they were all working on.However, the man in the shadows is probably Trask!
venom2019 - 7/9/2012, 8:19 AM
I'm kinder hoping that it does lead into the venom suit but what i thought When i seen him mysteriously disappear like that it made me think of one person Mysterio!
I think the likes of The Chameleon and Mysterio would make great henchmen for Norma Osbourn just a thought.
nathan02 - 7/11/2012, 12:20 AM
I think its bruce wayne..
fangz - 7/11/2012, 12:22 PM
@MrMurdockk - that's interesting, i actually picture him being maybe 30 at youngest. kinda like a washed up thug that sees his powers as being a last chance at a lucky break somehow.
but i guess i picture a lot of the villains as the same age tho, ones like Sandman, Kraven, Rhino, Shocker, Mysterio and so on. something like 26 to 40.
haha. maybe it gets older the older i get.
KungFuKoala - 7/12/2012, 4:10 AM
Could be anyone, but I do think they were hinting at Flash becoming Venom further down the line, what with the spidey t-shirt. Thought that was a blatant Easter Egg for Venom.
