Cooper Is Norman Osborn In Spidey Sequel

Chris Cooper has been cast as Norman Osborn in The Amazing Spider-Man 2. says The Hollywood Reporter

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


Norman Osborn was refered to in the last movie and said to be dying. In the comics he becomes Spidey's number one foe--The Green Goblin--The character was played previously by Willem Dafoe. Given that this film is already jammed packed with story arcs and characters--It's doubtful that we will see that full transformation--then again...Whenever we see Gobby I hope the filmakers take the character cues from the comic book and forgo the metal suit seen in the 2002 film

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. Dane DeHaan ("Chronicle") has won the role of Harry Osborn Osborn of course is Peter Parker's best friend and eventual enemy who was played by James Franco previously.Jamie Foxx will be playing bad guy Electro . Paul Giamatti is set to play the villain, the Rhino in the upcoming sequel Felicity Jones (Like Crazy), is in talks for an undisclosed role in the film.

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 now in production to meet its May 2nd 2014 release date.
