Michael Fassbender Was Considered For Role of The Lizard In The Amazing Spider-Man

Concept artist Jerad S. Marantz recently posted an image of The Lizard from The Amazing Spider-Man to his Instagram account and revealed that Michael Fassbender was actually considered for the role before it ultimately went to Rhys Ifans.

Fassbender passed on the role so he could play Magneto in X-Men: First Class.

Here’s some more fun lizard concept art for amazing Spiderman. Playing around with how many human features I could put into the face. This might’ve been a middle stage in the transformation, not sure. Here I was adding some Michael Fassbender. At one point he was considered for the role. #spiderman #lizard #thelizard #amazingspiderman #conceptart #creaturedesign #peterparker
