The Amazing Spider-Man Norman Osborn Casting Thread

[Jostru]

I would go with either Ralph Fiennes or Hugo Weaving for Norman.

Yeah, same here. Though I would find it weird to hear Fiennes say "Harry" as Norman Osborn instead of Voldemort.

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

I like the Hugo Weaving suggestions.

 

[Wesley Dodds]

I'm so sick of weaving being suggested in these kind of threads...

 

[bjt]

Maybe Seann Pen, the mask shaped in accordance with the features it would be fantastic

 

[Spider-Fan83]

here's another name, just throwing it out there...

Gary Sinise

 

[Batspider77]

Daniel Day Lewis

 

[Alex The Great]

here's another name, just throwing it out there...

Gary Sinise

Hmmm....maybe. Can he play the ego-jerk that Norman is though?

 

[O'Haire]

Jon Hamm

 

[chaseter]

Jon Hamm does not look evil in any sense of the word. He looks too wholesome and nice...so I say no to him.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Timothy Dalton!

 

[terry78]

Jon Hamm does not look evil in any sense of the word. He looks too wholesome and nice...so I say no to him.

That would make him even more perfect. Norman Osborn should not look like a bad guy.

 

[chaseter]

Norman can look bat **** crazy after he becomes the goblin. He looks normal, good old loving dad but then he goes psycho. I just don't think Hamm has the face to pull it off. You have to have some crazy in your eyes. Norman is the kind of guy who has the nice warm smiling face and then can turn and look the other way and has that evil sadistic look on his face. I just don't see that in Hamm.

[Road Warrior]

Here's an out of the box choice:

Jeremy Piven

 

[ross2287]

Norman is supposed to be an evil businessman, not a *****e...so no to Piven.

 

[Road Warrior]

Norman is supposed to be an evil businessman, not a *****e...so no to Piven.

lol. But, seriously, Piven is Ari Gold, a character that's essentially a businessman. He'd be great. It's the Green Goblin that I'm not so sure about.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Christoph Waltz for Norman.

I dont like Hugo Weaving's laugh. I think he would make a better Dr Connors though.

 

[Road Warrior]

Christoph Waltz for Norman.

Interesting choice. He's a great actor...but I don't know if I see him as Norman. It could work through.

 

[Batspider77]

Hey if Yelchin got the part of Harry,why not get Michael Biehn to play Norman...lol

 

[Ajendo]

here's another name, just throwing it out there...

Gary Sinise

To me he's more of a Doc Conners.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

I've always pictured Sean Bean playing Norman Osborn for some reason.

 

[OptimusPrime114]

I've always pictured Sean Bean playing Norman Osborn for some reason.

No way! He's more like Sabretooth to me.
