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.

I'm making $86 an hour working from home. I was shocked when my neighbour told me she was averaging $95 but I see how it works now. I feel so much freedom now that I'm my own boss. This is what I do, cloud68 . com

Shailene Woodley???? Are you serious? WTF!!! She is like, the last person I would imagine being Mary Jane. IMO, they have the whole casting situation reversed. I'd much rather have Emma Stone as Mary Jane and Shailene as Gwen.

What is the big deal about Jamie Foxx being Electro, he's a very good actor. How do you give heath ledger a chance but not jamie?

Yes! I sense bigotry...

Agreed. Was there this much stink when they made Bane a white guy?

Agreed x10000!!! So ridiculous.

like i said, jaime fox as ultimate electro sure , not 616 .

The whole movie(s) is/are based on Ultimate U.....15-17 year old Pete,dad scientist,he says early that he is Spiderman to his girlfriend.....probably Osborn will be the monster-Goblin and not the original cause of the whole OsCorp cross-speices thing.....Ultimate man!!

f#ck that!!!! Shailene Woodley is too adorable to be Mary Jane, MJ is a smoking hot FOX. Not some teeny bobber looking girl, I will be surprised as hell if she pulls off the jaw dropping performance as MJ as they think she will.

Wow you guys are picky as hell. They give you a real close to story film about one of spidey best moment, but you pick out little things and label the movie bad. Original Parker, girlfriend ,story-line for a origin story they did a great job. What more could you guys ask for? I don't know who Jamie foxx is or the person playing Harry is so I guess I'm lucky. No prejudgment .

Excellent casting choice. I'm in the minority here, but it's my opinion that Chronicle was the best superhero movie all year.

My one complaint? They're still not doing the hair right. GIVE ME RUFFLES!!!!

Yeah they should just reboot it again.

Ithink they should wait a while to reboot it. I'd try to get the rights to Daredevil and focus on him. The Amazing Spider-man should just be ignored, but I wouldn't reboot it since it was just made.

Yeah I was actually being sarcastic. I think now that they've got the origin story out of the way (everyone's main problem with the first movie), that they can focus on telling awesome new spiderman stories. Not capitalizing on what they've done with the reboot would be wasteful.

I have no problem with retelling an origin story. But do it good. Don't make a movie about a character as good as Spiderman as bad as that.

Fair enough, you're entitled to your opinion, but I still think if you like the character so much that you shouldn't dismiss this movie before it's even released.

I dont know why people are doubting that Gwen will die, the end of the first movie basically straight up said she will. I think she will probably die at the end of 2, they will build up a friendship between Pete and MJ throughout the movie and then she will be there for him when Gwens gone. Electro isnt really the main baddie, hes just going to be a distraction for Pete while the real bad guy lurks in the shadows.

Nice, I for one liked Chronicle and thought he was the best actor in it by far. I'm calling it right now, Damian Lewiswill be Norman. I just like him as an actor and think he would be good for the part, but also he even looks like he could be Dehaan's father.

I kind of want to see her death in the 2nd, and have 3 be a redemption story, but 3 works too.

As for Dehaan, I'm quite pleased, especially after seeing the incredibly emotional performance he put on in Chronicle a while back.

There were a few other scenes that were a ton more powerful than these, but the titles of the videos spoil things.

I know Gwen is supposed to die. I know it's canon. I know she's one of the most iconic deaths in comics - but I really, really hope they aren't planning on going with the death of Gwen Stacy storyline. But the more I think about it, the more likely it seems. It was a huge moment in Spider-man comics, and people who don't know the comics the way comic-book fans do would be shocked to see that bridge scene on screen. But it would suck for the Gwen fans like me who loved the character in both the comics and Emma Stone's version to have her death brought to the big screen. I honestly wish this re-telling of Spider-man could just let Gwen live, like an alternate universe Spider-man story.

Electro's appearance in this movie will hopefully confirm the rumor that the creators will pull an "Avengers" move with the Secret Six.
