Geez, is it really so simple? The Lizard is going to be the only villian and that's that. They know that carnage would be a bad choice.

I Think I know is going to be the next villain in the next spiderman movie. He's also a scientist like curt conners but of course he's not going to be morbious. I predict that the next villain in the spiderman series will be the JACKEL. The JACKEL because Sam Raimi intentionally wanted a super scientist team up, now since we've seen the possiblity of the lizard becoming the next villain. If there's one scientist who's out there not being morbious and the Lizard already being used it's the JACKEL. And it makes sense because Sam Raimi is kind of like an old fashioned movie director and really wants to stick with the original, classic villains and not only that but I know we have been sticking to the comic books on screen but the JACKEL in the comics makes a clone of Gwen Stacy after her death with the green goblin and spiderman 3 has already introduced gwen stacy and I read that JACKEL has a crush on Gwen Stacy so that's why he cloned her after her death with the green goblin.
