In a recent interview, the Bollywood actor talked briefly about being a part of the upcoming reboot, and despite his recent revelation that he wont be playing any sort of masked villain or monster, he reiterates the fact that he'll be a villain who has a "pivotal" role in the movie!

"I think the industry there is aware of my work. Marc Webber had seen me and wanted to work with me and he approached me for this role. I play one of the villains in the movie. It is a pivotal role."

Wait a minute...Khan is saying NOW that he's a villain? Wow.
and I don't know about Eisenburg...guess I'm okay with him being in it as long as they don't do a Spider-Man edition of Social Network.

@Denn1s: Better yet he could be the lead scientist with the spider-experiment that makes spidey well... spidey, and instead of collaborating with Connors, he could sabotage the experiment to make it go wrong on purpose because he's got orders from say... Norman Osborne?

Eisenberg is terrible.
His 'act' is little more than pretending to be a coked out Michael Cera.

Marc Webber? He can't even get the name of the director right?! Eisenberg as Harry would be awesome, he's my second choice behind Anton Yelchin.

I hope his villainous scenes don't contain too much American violence...
StuckInPanels
StuckInPanels - 2/14/2011, 9:48 AM
Can he even say the Directors name properly. Its WEBB not WEBBER. I don't get him, he thinks Spider-man is an "Violent American Fantasy".....also he won't be a costumed villain, just so other villain. How Pivotal will it really be?

Iain Glen as Norman Osborn. Great actor but [frick]ing underrated. He needs this role!:)


Jesse Eisenberg could be Harry.

Eisenberg for Harry Osborn. Great Chemistry with Garfield and Stone.

Eisenberg for Eddie Brock

haha j/k

I can't see Jesse as Harry Osborn. But he'd make a great Weasel, since that character and Peter Parker were good friends at one point. Sadly, Fox has the rights to X-Men characters.

XxSnakeProxX - 2/14/2011, 10:11 AM
yeah i can easily see Eisenburg as Harry.Andrew and Jesse already have chemistry,and it would be nice to see that friendship on screen in spiderman,and even better to see their inevitable fall out.

Jesse will be Harry Osborn!

Eisenberg would make a HORRIBLE Peter Parker (for those who wanted him as Pete) I cant see him as Harry, not even the Ultimate version. Eisenberg should just have a cameo as his friend, and not a major character

This Irrfan Khan seems to have a pretty big head, considering America, as a whole, couldn't give two dogshits about bollywood. Before anyone tries on their best race-card outfit, really consider if anyone gives a shit about bollywood. Their relevance over here is minimal. He also talks about his role like he is lucky for the movie to have him or something.

So yeah, in short, [frick] him.

@SuspenseSmith

i been saying the same thing all time that the Prowler should be in the movie or in the sequel if it happens.

if his in the movie they could also do a spin-off movie of the Prowler.

Awesome. Jesse Eisenberg for Harry Osborn!!

So what he's saying, is because Jesse Eisenberg starred in a movie with Andrew Garfield previously that had nothing to do with Spiderman or comics in general, that he deserves a cameo. ?

It's Marc WEBB, not WEBBER

I don't like Irrfan Khan he sounds like a douche, he's a good actor, but still a douche. As for Eisenberg he'd make a great Harry.

Hmmm...still have a suspicion that this guy will be Craven the Hunter, hired by the city to track down and capture/kill the Lizard who Spidey naturally tries to save. The Lizard being Doc Connors and all. Would make for an interesting dynamic seeing as both of them will obviously be trying to kill him or at least beat the crap out of him as he gets between the two. Hehe...don't mind me, I've had that idea for a spidey script since before Spiderman 2 came out. sigh.

@comicbandit

You've had an idea for a character called Craven the hunter? So the original Kraven wasn't good enough for you?

ONE OF THE VILLAINS! hmmmmmm...
