Amazing Spider-Man Sequel Has Its Harry Osborn
Mon, December 3, 2012 
Dane Dehaan is the new Harry Osborn for The Amazing Spider-Man sequel, director Marc Webb tweeted.
Had he not essentially played Peter Parker's best pal with Daddy issues-turned-psycho-turned back to friend at the very end before dying, with shades of Akira's Tetsuo, in Josh Trank's excellent Chronicle, this would be good casting. It gets the part-time Leonardo DiCaprio doppelganger more coverage and maybe he can repeat the career second-wind (post web-slinger) as James Franco.
Throwing Harry, and Mary Jane Watson, don't forget, feels like more needless padding. What is this The Hobbit?!
The Peter/Gwen romance is still the focus and if Bleeding Cool is to be believed (and I do), she'll be in London. Flash Thompson begs for a bigger role and a comic-foil for Spidey. Unless J. Jonah Jameson and the Daily Bugle dynamic are back in the mix too. And if Harry is around, and with Norman Osborn having a boogeyman presence in The Amazing Spider-Man, his billionaire daddy shouldn't be far behind. Then there's Jamie Foxx as Electro, rumored to be one of several villains. And of course, someone's gotta get Aunt May's eggs!
So yeah, they didn't learn a damn thing from Spider-Man 3.

Marc Webb just proves again that he knows how to cast better actors for a Spidey movie. More than Sammy boy Raimi.
