I'm really not sure what to make of this. A site which advertises itself as the official page for actor Irfan Khan has a report featured on its main page which states that the Bollywood actor will be playing the monstrous Proto-Goblin and that Welsh actor Rhys Ifans is set to star as Norman Osborn/Green Goblin, despite previous reports leading us to believe that he'll be playing Curt Connors/The Lizard. Here it is for you to read for yourself.

Nels Van Adder became Proto-Goblin when Norman Osborn tested an early version of his serum on him, so his presence is required for that story arc.

Remember this takes Spidey back to his roots - not the reimagining done in the previous series. Peter is still in school, he's lusting after Gwen Stacey not Mary Jane Watson, and his webshooters are mechanisms not organic.

The Outsiders star C. Thomas Howell has inadvertently revealed the identity of the main villain in next year's Spider-Man reboot.

During a Retroradio podcast, the actor discussed his supporting role in The Amazing Spider-Man, before confirming that The Lizard will indeed be the film's primary antagonist.

"I play a construction worker whose son is caught in the middle of a battle between The Lizard and Spider-Man on the Manhattan bridge," Howell revealed. "Spider-Man helps me get my son back from this perilous situation."

The actor also claimed that the film will focus more on the public's fear and mistrust of Spider-Man than Sam Raimi's original trilogy did.

"Part of the story is the nation thinks he might be a bad guy," Howell explained. "Spider-Man is kind of hurting. I help him when all of the other people won't."

The inclusion of The Lizard in Marc Webb's reboot has been rumoured ever since Rhys Ifans was cast in an unknown role last year, but Sony have yet to make an official announcement regarding the film's villain.

The Lizard, a long-running enemy of Spider-Man in the comic book series, was created when Peter Parker's lecturer Dr Curt Connors injected himself with reptile DNA in an attempt to regrow a lost limb, but instead ends up turning himself into a mindless monster.

The Amazing Spider-Man is scheduled to be released in 3D on July 3, 2012.
