It's hard to tell whether or not the actor who portrayed The Daily Bugle boss in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy is joking in his following comments, but it is fairly clear by reading them that he'll neither be returning to portray the character in The Amazing Spider-Man or is in the least bit bothered by that fact. Well, apart from the loss of a paycheck!

Are you upset that Spider-Man is being rebooted?

There were a lot of levels on which I was disappointed by that, not the least of which was financial because, you know, a sequel is one of the few times that a journeyman like me gets to make a big fat paycheck.

I did read that you bought a new house.

Yes, indeed. Which I'm now paying for with commercials instead of Spider-Man 4.


With an all star cast that includes Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man, Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy, Denis Leary as Captain George Stacy, Rhys Ifans as Curt Connors, Martin Sheen as Uncle Ben and Sally Field as Aunt May, The Amazing Spider-Man is set to be released in 3D on July 3, 2012!
