Dane DeHaan On Harry Osborn In THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2

@LEVITIKUZ he won't be venom

I like the way this sounds.

Correct me if Im wrong but isnt Harry Vemon in the Ultimate series? So chances are they could be setiing up for a vemon/green goblin team up for part 3 along with the death of gwen stacy.

How is this movie going to fit rhino, electro, MJ, both Osborns, and some gwen/peter romance?

@mattbo no he was never venom in the ultimate comics. He was venom in the ultimate spider-man cartoon which has little to no resemblance to the ultimate comics and it sucks as we all know.

@Rob2814

Webb did direct a great Rom-Com but TASM itself had too much going on and characters weren't used effectively.

The core characters we had were Peter, Gwen, Flash, Ben , May, Connors, Ratha and Captain Stacey. Of those characters Ratha and May were useless there was nothing interesting about them and they hardly had any screen time. Flash developed as a character off screen so that sucked as well.

Ratha, Ben and Connors are gone but now we get Harry, Norman, Electro, Rhino, and Mary J. The love story has to balance with the importance of the Osborns the conflict with the villains and the growth of Peter and the established characters.

Nolan improved on his craft with the Prestige before jumping back in TDK. I like that we are getting a new Spider-Man movie soon but I also wish Webb had more time to grow as a director.


Dane DeHaan is right though you don't need to be a fan to do your job. Its cool if you are one but talent achieves more just ask Frank "Spirit" Millar or Nic "SOV" Cage. Glad to see he didnt fall for the fanboy trap and claim he's been fan since forever.

Holy shit, one twitter image and everyone is thinking Harry is Venom...

Diane's gonna own Harry Osborn, keen as [frick].

He's Venom, guys. Sony won't ever make two Green Goblins, and so Harry as a rival has to factor in some how. Modern Goblin is Abomination MII essentially. And to have Goblin after Lizard (Abomination with a tail - Wow Sony is original...) and then another Goblin would be simply ridiculous. And so, for movie universes, characters are collided and warped. Just like Raimi's Franco Goblin, DeHaan will need to be different. A lot different. Making Harry Venom isn't so much a problem for me, other than the fact that he looks half Andrew Garfield's age. It'll come across like a child chasing a teenager above the streets of New York, dressed in pajamas. It's the idea of a spin-off that irks me. If Marvel are reluctant to do another Hulk movie, I see very little success for Sony with a Venom movie. Is he a hero, or is he a monster? He's both and neither, which would make the dynamic painful on screen, unless it's designed to be a horror, but then the 5 year old DeHaan wouldn't be in it, as that would look stupid. I think Sony should avoid Venom entirely. Raimi's made the character into a joke, and once again in this context Venom will look silly. You can run a character into the ground I think, and Venom could very easily become an annoying Bane sort of character. Eddie Brock in his brut form was a cool Spider-Man villain because he was Spider-Man's Flash Thompson. Brock bullied Spider-Man and was his perfect foil - big and stupid. Toby Maguire and Topher Grace could have been the same person, so it was silly. And the same could be said of Garfield and DeHaan, but at at least with Osborn being Venom you won't have to worry about a snowboarder Goblin. I say make Eddie Brock an oversized, blonde idiot who is jealous of Spider-Man because he's smarter, and a hero. And then make Harry more like his father without the Goblin. Harry doesn't need to become a super villain upon Norman's downfall. Harry can just be a villain. Continuing Norman's legacy without the mistake of compromising himself by becoming tailles-Lizard, or Abomination MII and sacrificing all he knows and owns. He should become more like Smythe than an active adversary. Norman has a plan in Ultimate Spider-Man that is prevented by him becoming Goblin. How about Harry continuing the grand plans, and instead of becoming an adversary himself should produce all the many, many cool villains from the comic series. A new Norman Goblin I'd tolerate, but not two Goblins and Venom again, if the latter can be avoided.

Pretty much what I'm saying is that repeat villains in reboots is annoying. Osborn as Goblin could be more different this time around, as he would be Abomination-like. No conventional Green Goblin 1 & 2 and Doc Oc, no Venom or Sandman. Webb has done well to bring in Lizard, Electro and possibly Rhino, and to change Goblin's conditions, but there is no need to do Green Goblin 2, Venom or Sandman. There's Mysterio, Kraven, Smythe, Vulture, Man-Wolf, Doppelgänger, etc. And Venom should never be considered without the possibility of Carnage following up.

Sounds like a studio getting too involved in their own projects again.

osborn venom IS LAME!!!!! its bad enough there is a flash venom, Just make it eddie Brock for [frick] sakes. OSorn should be and only be A goblin . I can see the symbiote jumping from host to host but to make the full bond with osborn would be really really bad

Harry Venom? No. Just no. Now Sony is going to start building a movie franchise around Sony-Man... oh I mean Spider-man... Spider-man is still in this one right?

:P

@ nomis

you think this is bad don't go into x-men days of future past article.

it has a apocalypse as the main villain rumor attach to it.

@ jphoenix667

they should build the rivalry over the next movie & give us venom in the third movie.

I don't think I like this take on Spidey. The charm of Peter Parker was that he was just an ordinary kid who had an extraordinary event that made him super and gave him "great responsibilities" when using his power. But here, his parents were not ordinary, his life wasn't ordinary, and what happened to him was perhaps some great big secret conspiracy or something and he has a mysterious void in his life he has to fill ... he's essentially Tony Stark without the money.
