Avi Arad Talks Chris Cooper As Norman Osborn; Addresses Felicity Jones' "Goblin" Comments

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 producer Avi Arad reveals that Chris Cooper was their original choice for Norman Osborn back when they were making Spider-Man and seemingly reveals that it's Harry Osborn that Felicity Jones' character is interested in...does that make HIM the Goblin after all?

In the following video interview with iamROGUE, producer Avi Arad talks in detail about Electro's role in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 before being quizzed on the future of the franchise. As well as addressing the post-credits scene of the last movie, whether or not we'll see Uncle Ben or Captain Stacy in flashbacks and Chris Cooper's take on Norman Osborn, Arad also hints at a relationship of some sort between Harry Osborn and Felicity Jones' character, despite director Marc Webb recently saying that it's Norman she's involved with. Either way, he says that we'll "definitely" see the Green Goblin at some point in the future. Whether or not that will be in this movie or the already confirmed part three or four remains to be seen! Watch it in full below.









In The Amazing Spider-Man™ 2, for Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield), life is busy – between taking out the bad guys as Spider-Man and spending time with the person he loves, Gwen (Emma Stone), high school graduation can’t come quickly enough. Peter hasn’t forgotten about the promise he made to Gwen’s father to protect her by staying away – but that’s a promise he just can’t keep. Things will change for Peter when a new villain, Electro (Jamie Foxx), emerges, an old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, and Peter uncovers new clues about his past.


STARRING:

Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker/Spider-Man
Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy
Shailene Woodley as Mary Jane Watson
Jamie Foxx as Max Dillon/Electro
Sally Fields as Aunt May

RELEASE DATE: May 2nd, 2014.

"Avi doesn't know shit."

That's true. The producer of the film probably has no clue about it.

MartinMarvel,

Actually yes, Barakapool is a big disgrace to everything comic book movie.

In my opinion, Actor Mandarin is the biggest disgrace to comic books.

Because they didn't even try to make him the villain. They outright mocked and ridiculed him.

@thewonderer

It really sucks that you feel so let down by Iron Man 3...but it's done. Get over it. Look forward to the next movie that excites you. Don't buy the bluray, don't see Marvel Studio movies, whatever. complaining on a dork site isn't going to do much aside from annoy others in your community.

Maybe it's Carlie Cooper? Having a secret relationship with Norman. It's gotta be better than Gwen having a secret relationship with him, like she did in 616, right? And Carlie Cooper was supposed to be Gwen's best friend. I'll doubt there's a Liz Allen, as they seem to have merged her character with Gwen's a little bit (being at high school with Pete and having chemistry with Flash). Maybe she's Black Cat, but that'd be a lot of villians. I'll bet Betty Brandt's in this movie, somewhere. There's a lot of Bugle going on, right?

At least Barakapool is pretty cool in terms of power and kicks wolverine's ass a lot. Of course that character is shit to the comics though. Mandarin was a freaking actor! no rings, no nothing. A joke really.

marvels movie schedule is the most confusing conjunction of shit that Dc movies have a cleaner plan in mind. Man of Steel, Batman Vs, Superman, The Flash than Justice League. 2011, 15, 16, 17. Sony get a clean schedule and than tell us whats going on? cuz bro, ur MESSING UP OUR MINDS.

Listen we all know iron man 3 sucked and mandarin was a disgrace but we have so much to look forward to. What we really have to do is stop wit the company wars they all suck sometimes and they can all be great nobody is perfect they have all made huge mistakes in the eyes of the fans and they will continue to. So enjoy the ride as much as u can I think that it's amazing that were getting all these characters on film and that they are getting respectable budgets and even more importantly respectable truly talented actors are jumping at the chance to be in a cbm.

@tron21full: I'm not sure if you're trolling but how can it be simpler than having a Spider-Man movie in 2014, 2016 and 2018?

I've literally just finished watching the film again, and I've enjoyed it more than the first two times I watched it. This was a great, modern twist to his origin, and spideys relationship with Connors. It has its dumb moments, but it's a good reboot.
