Dane DeHaan has appeared in four films this year — Lincoln, Lawless, Jack & Diane and Chronicle — and will play Harry Osborn in Columbia’s sequel to The Amazing Spider-Man alongside Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Jamie Foxx and Shailene Woodley. Production starts early next year, ahead of a 3D release on May 2, 2014. James Franco played the wealthy Osborn — who in the comics mythology becomes the second Green Goblin, after his father — in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy. Director Marc Webb tipped the casting news today via his Twitter feed. Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci and Jeff Pinkner wrote the script based on a previous draft by James Vanderbilt. Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach are producing. In addition to TV and stage work, DeHaan, repped by CAA, next stars in Place Beyond The Pines alongside Bradley Cooper and Ryan Gosling. He also will star in Atom Egoyan’s Devil’s Knot, about the fate of the West Memphis 3, and John Krokidas’ Kill Your Darlings.


Is this guy the long lost brother of Leonardo DiCaprio or what?
Because I dislike the lack of surprise built into the Emma Stone storyline, I wish the producers would blow everybody’s mind by not killing Gwen, and reveal that this whole series is some sort of alternative universe version — in the same way that the villain “Nero” in the new Star Trek altered history and so uncoupled the series from the official canon.
Haha I thought same thing when I watched lawless the other night. Like him. Can’t stand Garfield though in the role of peter/spidey. There is nothing about him that reminds me of either. And his voice is so wimpy. You need a good voice when you spend half your time behind a mask.
Just out of curiosity… did anyone want or enjoy the new Spiderman???
I did not.
… I sorta felt like I was watching a book report about the last three spiderman movies.
The awful casting continues…
No
Awful? Dane DeHaan is masterful.
