MUMBAI Going by the success of The Amazing Spider-Man, director Marc Webb has evinced interest in creating a totally new adversary for the web-slinger.
 
"I do think it would be tricky to totally invent a major villain, but if I did that it would be The Mime," Web has reportedly said. "My big contribution would be a villain called The Mime."

Insisting that he was kidding, the director said that the character‘s history is so rich with foes that whoever directs a sequel will have plenty of interesting ones to choose from. "I think you have to be pretty protective of the canon when it comes to villains," he observed. "And Spider-Man has a great rogues gallery, so there‘s a lot to choose from," he added.

Meanwhile, Webb said that he feels like the combination of proven story points and new ideas will allow a sequel to depart from iterations of the hero that audiences saw previously. "I wanted to create a universe that works in and of itself for one movie, but I wanted to create a universe that not only can withstand but anticipate future storylines," he quipped.

Webb also said that he derived his approach to the film from the one employed by artistes and writers to the comic book itself. "That‘s something I love about the comics -- the serialized nature of them," he averred. "And then certain storylines we‘ll pick up and characters that we‘ll expand upon, but it‘s all part of the mythology that we spent a lot of time developing early on," he ended.
