Pic/AFP The Rhino first appeared in Amazing Spider-Man No 41 in 1966 as a thug from a Soviet Bloc country who wore a superhuman suit that made him invulnerable while giving him superstrength and superspeed. It also had a deadly horn on top, the Hollywood Reporter said. In more recent comics, he became a sympathetic figure who found himself allying with Spider-Man. Giamatti has expressed a desire to portray the role in the past, saying The Rhino was one of his favorite characters while growing up. &quot;I thought Rhino was the greatest thing when I was a little kid. It was a guy who was basically in this rhinoceros outfit, and I always thought, &#39;Why don&#39;t they have The Rhino in one of their movies.&#39; But maybe The Rhino wasn&#39;t that big of a deal for anybody but me... If they ever go with The Rhino, I would be ready and waiting,&quot; he had said in 2011. The actor is best known for his supporting roles in films like &#39;The Truman Show&#39;, &#39;Saving Private Ryan&#39; and &#39;The Negotiator&#39;.
