Amazing Spiderman 2 Chris Cooper



Speaking to MTV about his experience shooting Marc Webb's Spider-Man sequel and whether Green Goblin will appear, Cooper stated, "[Amazing] Spider-Man 2' was an introduction to Norman, and — you'll see — an extremely odd introduction, which apparently will lead to something more." He added that he's, "vaguely" aware" of Sinster Six future plans for Norman Osborn beyond the sequel and that he's been sent some material.

I like the actor but feel he is way too old for this part.

Great actor!And I think it's funny when people say these actors are too old.If Peter is almost in his 20's,and Harry is his best friend (prob also almost in his 20's),the logic dictates that Norman would have to be in his 40's even pushing 50.Makes sense.Just like how people say Catherine Zeta Jones is too old for Wonder Woman.Ive always pictured her in her early 40's but fit and in shape

I wonder if its possible if we can see Carnage in the future movies....


The tone set up in amazing Spiderman clearly shows that this movie can be pretty dark/serious tone.

Having Spiderman 4 be maximum carnage would be perfect

And I'm pretty sure right when Spiderman 4 comes out
Sony will announce plans for Spiderman 5(2020) and Spiderman 6(2022)

I think he is a bit old, but I mean there's plenty of potential towards the performances and story of the film involving his character and many others. I wonder if the Goblin serum will allow him to become younger like some people said? Dafoe will always be the Green Goblin in my books! lol His performance was spot on! Regardless of the "power ranger suit" everyone complains about he made the character with or without the suit.

Man oh man, I sure hope so! I originally thought that the franchise would try to accomplish why Raimi was trying to do with his Spider-Man franchise and have six films ending with a sinister 6 showdown. I think it's a good thing that Sony may make solo spin-off films for some of these villains because in this way we won't need as much as a compacted story by the time a 4th or 6th movie debuts!

(Really random and quite silly) but if you add up all the numbers in 2022 it equals six! lol It's meant to be! Jk

I thought everyone knew they have a Goblin twist in this film. Norman's just an old guy not the Green Goblin.

@blacknerd

Lol yeah it would be a great way to build up your villains and heroes to have a big team up at the end, much like how marvel studios did with phase 1

@monkeyballs

You can have venom appear and cause some damage in one of the Spiderman movies, then have his own spinoff afterwards, then build up Cletus Kassidy in venom(transform into Carnage at the end), and then have carnage be the main villain in the next Spiderman movie with venom teaming up with him.
