Don't frak up now Webb. I'm warming up to your MJ but don't push your luck pal.

Check him out in the Bourne films. He can play menacing very, very well.

[Oscorp]

I'm extremely happy they went with someone who can be a convincing orderly businessman with a dark secret. I can see him be the guy who seems proper when you meet him, but who in the next moment when you're away is an ass towards his own son.

Compared to Massee who just strikes me as a lunatic.

TT sounds like a low par choice to me. Especially after the martians. LOL

[ThePhantasm]

Yeah, I'm only joking about the Tinkerer.

That's a great point.

I've never considered Cooper for this role before, but he fits it so well.

Ahahaha, that would be fantastic.

Gotta say, I'll be REALLY disappointed if Harry becomes the GG in this series and not Norman. Like...why? Why would they do that? Norman already has such an evil reputation in this series. He's been built up very well as a character that we should pay attention to. I want to see the first and REAL Green Goblin in this series. If anything...since we already saw Harry going down the path of the "Goblin" to some extent in the last series, we don't need to see it in this one. Give us a really compelling multi-film arc for Spidey and GG (his greatest nemesis) and end the series with a bang, not with Spidey fighting and then mourning his best friend.

VERY HAPPY with this casting of Chris Cooper. He's old but cleans up well and can give us a really evil portrayal of Norman. So interested to see what his GG look will be.

I wonder if he'll hypocritically hate gays in this movie...

[elsewhere]

But what about Michael Massee? I hope we get an explanation of what his role was in the first film. I'm sure Chris Cooper will do fine, but I was really championing Massee for Norman Osborn.

I'm not worried about Cooper's age. I'm beginning to suspect the Goblin will be largely CGI to get the face / costume right.

Cooper is everything Massee is and way more. This is a step up.

Hmmm.....you might be right

Take a deep breath and relax. We have no idea what the plan is, don't see why they wouldn't go with Norman as GG. Yikes people freak out before anything has ven been done.

[chamber-music]

good casting. Cooper was great in American Beauty, The Bourne films, A Time To Kill and Jarhead

They wouldn't skip Norman of being GG if he's in the movie; and CERTAINLY Harry wouldn't become him first. I would like to see this film escalate into issues #121 and 122 by movie 3.

Doesn't matter however if he ends up becoming Hulk Goblin...

I hope not. Hulk Goblin sucks.

Yeah that's what I meant! He may be a perfect Norman but if he becomes Ultimate Goblin...then that will ruin everything! I hope Webb & Co (Arad!) aknowledges that

Must I say it again after all these months.....I beleive he is the Chameleon....that's why they won't clarify exactly what his role is....Rhyes hinted at that.

I now understand what Webb meant by thinking bigger.

[FreedomFreeLife]

Did not see that coming... amazing...

Shailene Woodley as Mary Jane Watson
Paul Giamatti as Rhino
Jamie Foxx as Electro
Dane DeHaan as Harry Osborn
Chris Copper as Norman Osborn
Felicity Jones as Betty Brant/Black Cat???
Colm Feore as JJJ/Vulture???
Michael Massee - Villain who works in Oscorp


Too many new people? This movie must be 3hr long!!!

[Ultra Nolanite]

I hope they use the cross species genetics story to physically turn him into the goblin and not just a guy who wears a mask.

But he won't be Gobby in this movie.

[TheAQU4M4N]

would of rather had Massee returning, but this is a great choice as well.

[Oscorp]

Maybe Massee is the Terrible Tinkerer.
