4 More Wild About Harry (Osborn) & Spidey 2

Sam Claflin Eddie Redmayne, Douglas Booth, and Boyd Holbrook are the latest actors to test for the role of Harry Osborn in the upcoming "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" says THR.


Last week we learned that Dane DeHaan ("Chronicle"), Brady Corbet ("Melancholia") and Alden Ehrenreich were up for the part.

Osborn of course is Peter Parker's best friend and eventual enemy who was played by James Franco previously.

Originally created for an athletic and bulkier actor, the part was said to be reshaped for a "dark and edgy thespian". Now sources say the producers and filmmakers are back to wanting actors with characteristics that include athleticism and good looks. Sony Pictures had no comment

DeHann would still be top my choice....With Claflin and Redmayne #2 and #3

Andrew Garfield is already set to return as Peter Parker and Emma Stone in talks to reprise her role as Gwen Stacy.

Shailene Woodley has won the role of Mary Jane Watson, the perennial red-headed love interest of Pater Parker in the Spidey comics. The role was previously played by Kirsten Dunst in director Sam Raimi's Spider-Man Trilogy. Jamie Foxx is playing bad guy Electro

Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci and Jeff Pinkner are writing the script based on a previous draft by James Vanderbilt. "The Amazing Spider-Man" director Marc Webb will be back calling action.

Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach will produce.

The new film is due to begin productnion in Febuary to meet its May 2nd 2014 release date.
