Casting is underway for the upcoming sequel to this summer’s blockbuster hit THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN with the character or Harry Osborn being a priority.
At first filmmakers wanted Harry to be “dark and edgy” and considered actors like Brady Corbet (THUNDERBIRDS) and Dane DeHaan (LAWLESS).
However, they have since changed their minds, deciding instead that Harry will be “athletic and good looking” and considering Eddie Redmayne (MY WEEK WITH MARILYN), Boyd Holbrook (THE HOST) and Sam Claflin (THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE) for the role of Peter Parker’s best friend.
Only one casting decision has been finalized so far and that is Jamie Foxx as the super villain Electro.
THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 will reunite director Marc Webb and star Andrew Garfield and is due to begin filming in early 2013 with a tentative release date of May 2, 2014.
Who do you think would make a good Harry Osborn?
