Paul Giamatti has been talking about his role as Aleksei Sytsevich aka “The Rhino” in the upcoming The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
In an interview with The Toronto Sun, the actor confirmed his character is “one of several bad guys in the movie”.
“In the comic books of old, he had this suit on that made him look like a rhinoceros, and it made him super strong,” he said. “If there was a bank vault he would just run right through it. Butt through it with his head. And he was not very smart.”
Going on to tease that his suit in the film will be slightly updated, he continued: “And I have a particular kind of suit, but I don’t think I’m supposed to talk about it. He’s a Russian mobster. Russians are always good villains. I have an ability to just destroy things. My accent is pretty hammy. I loved doing it. it seemed to me like an opportunity to be as over-the-top hammy as possible. It was really fun.”
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 opens on May 2, 2014, and also stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Jamie Foxx, and Sally Field.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
