If you folks would spend less time bashing each other, and a little more time digging around the net and piecing together clues...

Thomas Hayden Church and Topher Grace will be playing the role of Chameleon. Topher will be going for MJ, and eventually be revealed as one of Chameleon's (Church's) identities.

This is not confirmed, but it is pretty solid speculation based on numerous rumors from many different sources.

Chameleon is lesser known to the non-hardcore Spiderman fanbase, meaning less preconceived notions about who he is and how he should behave, etc. It's also quite likely there will be another "villain" although in a more secondary role. Despite the vociferous protests of the nerdcore fanbase, Black Cat is highly suspected. Likely she will serve the antagonistic role of an outlet to support Peter/Spidey's jealousy/anger toward Topher/Chameleon.

Black Cat is unlikely to be a front runner villain in the traditional sense, but will probably have confrontations with Spidey as the plot progresses and the truth behind people's personalities and motivations are revealed.

If it all proves to be true, the movie will have VERY strong themes about identity and hiding one's true nature. It all seems to fit if looked at in that vein.

There you have it, my speculation based on what I've found, and what I expect from hollywood blockbuster scripts. Raimi is good, so I expect he'll make it work, even if not to the spectacular hopes of the hardcore-diehard Spidey fans.
