The Amazing Spider-Man director Marc Webb who will be back calling action tweeted: "Meet Harry Osborn. So excited to have him on board. @danedehaan."
Dehaan beat out Sam Claflin Eddie Redmayne, Douglas Booth, Boyd Holbrook 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". DeHaan fits the bill and then some!!
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
