The Amazing Spider-Man 2 update on Harry Osborn, Norman Osborn and Green Goblin
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 continues to tease fans with more viral marketing campaigns, and this latest one offers some juicy information about the plot of the movie, specifically with regard to Norman Osborn (Chris Cooper), Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan) and the Green Goblin.
It seems almost certain at this point that Harry Osborn will play the Green Goblin in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, but we'll find out for certain on May 2, 2014 when the film releases in the United States. Of course, those behind the movie couldn't resist dangling the carrot with the newest faux article on The Daily Bugle Tumblr page, which sets up Norman's role in the movie and also drops a hint about Harry:
"Norman Osborn, CEO of OsCorp Industries, not seen in public or heard from in months, remains in seclusion amidst growing speculation about the severity of his condition.
The mounting concern for Osborn's health, combined with OsCorp Industries' recent problems with Dr. Curt Connors, has generated increased focus on the readiness of the company's heir apparent, Harry Osborn, to assume control of the multinational conglomerate.
When asked for an official statement about Harry's role with the company, the standard company PR line is 'Harry is currently studying in Europe.'
After being shown photographic evidence of Harry partying on the Riviera with a bevy of barely-clad supermodels, OsCorp's spokesman Donald Menken said, 'A snapshot cannot capture a life. Harry is a brilliant young man with a very bright future. He may be a little green, but the future is bright.'"
