Harry Osborn Cast in 'The Amazing Spider-Man' Sequel

The cast for the next Spider-Man movie is getting bigger and bigger.

There's been rumblings over actors in the running to play Harry Osborn in the next Spider-Man movie. Director Marc Webb has revealed the actor via his Twitter account.

No Caption Provided

You're probably familiar with DeHaan from Chronicle and Lincoln. He's joining Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone as well as Shailene Woodley (Mary Jane) and Jamie Foxx (Electro). The movie is currently in pre-production and there hasn't been too much information released, aside from the updates in casting.

As the pieces are starting to fall in place, in terms of the cast of characters, it won't be long until everyone begins speculating on the direction of the sequel. It's already been lightly thrown around that the third movie could head towards the Death of Gwen Stacy storyline. We'll have to wait and see if there's any truth to that comment.

Fox is a guarantee??? I love Fox, but as Electro???? Electro is just a thug. Better used in his debut in Ultimate Spider-man as a fired goon for a bigger villain. As long as the movie is tho, what ever. I won't bitch til I see it.

DeHann sort of has that DiCaprio squint. He's not my first choice, but as a decision of getting bigger star power, I don't mind Jaime Foxx as Electro. Shortly after he's going to be Django with Tarantino, he'll be the President in the next Roland Emmerich, so this line of roles is probably keep going. My real gripe at first was his age; I always envision Electro as a misguided young man who uses the inconvenience of super-powers as a justification to commit heinous acts, but that can still work as an older man burdened by a long, wasted life of failure and regret.

I actually anticipated The Death of Gwen Stacy would be used in this next movie. I predicted the sequel would be set in the college years, where peter meets Harry as his roommate and becomes conflicted between Gwen and MJ. Some might argue the inevitability of Gwen's fate could make the ending anti-climatic, but they could say the same for Uncle Ben, and Martin Sheen's performance is one of the biggest highlights of the last movie. We as an audience is meant to learn to not only care but deeply appreciate the romance between these two (And I hope they can further what that romance really is; they did make a lot of googily eyes, but hopefully they can deepen what the attraction really is), thus making the ending satisfyingly bittersweet. With that, we can end the film with MJ consoling Peter, and carry it on from there.

As you can tell, I'm a fan of this reboot, or at least more of the potential to it.

I like it.

And really, I'd take him over James Franco's Harry any day.

I haven't seen Lincoln but he did a great job in Chronicle.

Indeed. But at this point he is going to get typecast as the "troubled teen in dysfunctional relationship with his dad" :P

All right! Harry being in it means we'll probably see Norman, which means we get to see SPIDER-MAN vs GREEN GOBLIN!

Why can't they just pretend the Amazing Spider-man never happened?

The death of Gwen Stacy story arc would be a cruel joke considering the end to the last movie... Peter needs some serious redemption in his character development first, if that's going to happen...

@Omega Ray Jay: Hair dye?

I can't judge this guy as i haven't seen him act in any films i have watched, but still it's going to be hard to live up to James Franco's strong performance.

Interesting choice. I think Anton Yelchin would make a great Harry Osborn!

Seems like a good enough cast for Harry, I'm still hoping that the Foxx/Electro thing is just one bad joke..

@Omega Ray Jay: I quite enjoyed it. I feel like they did a good job justifying the found footage aspect of the movie in a way that makes sense, and the story, action, and characters were all solid.
