Who Is The Mysterious 'Amazing Spider-Man' Villain? - MTV Who Is The Mysterious 'Amazing Spider-Man' Villain? archive-Ryan-Rigley 07/05/2012 Amidst the fireworks and barbeques of July 4th, people all across the country had but one thing on their minds: Who will be the villain in the "Amazing Spider-Man" sequel? With an astounding $35 million in the bank from Tuesday alone, "Amazing" is set to make upwards of $140 million by Sunday night. On top of that, Sony's plans to make a sequel have already expanded into making "Amazing Spider-Man" a trilogy . Clearly, there are big things at work here — perhaps even Sinister Six levels of big, but that's another story entirely. While "Amazing" has been getting a lot of buzz lately, there is one particular [article id="1689023"]post-credits scene[/article] that has garnered the most speculation by far. This, of course, has everything to do with the appearance of a still-unknown villain. In said post-credits scene, we get a glimpse of Dr.

Curt Connors locked away in an asylum and visited by a mysterious, silhouetted gentleman who seemingly disappears into thin air. While it's not made clear who this man is exactly, it's safe to assume that he is a representative of Oscorp and that he will have a bigger role to play in the upcoming sequel. So, who the heck was that guy? The mystery remains wide open, but here are the classic Spidey villains we think fit the bill perfectly. Electro Max Dillon, a former electrical engineer, gained the ability to manipulate electricity after being struck by lightning while working on a power line. Transforming himself into a living electrical capacitor, Electro is now one of Spider-Man's deadliest enemies. Given the large amounts of lightning in the post-credits scene, it would make complete sense if the silhouetted man turned out to be Electro. Sandman Escaped convict Flint Marko had his cells spliced with sand molecules due to radiation from a nuclear-weapon testing on an abandoned beach. Now, Flint's body is made of a sand-like substance, allowing him to duplicate himself and shape-shift.

(We assume you don't know any of this because you, like the responsible moviegoer you are, forgot that "Spider-Man 3" ever existed.) The silhouetted man in the post-credits scene had the incredible ability to disappear at a moment's notice, which could easily be explained if he was made of sand. Mysterio A former stuntman and special-effects artist, Quentin Beck uses his movie-magic knowhow to commit crimes and mess with Spider-Man. Donning a fish-bowl helmet and cape, Mysterio is the self-proclaimed master of illusion. He's also a skilled magician, hypnotist, chemist and engineer. The mysterious, silhouetted man might have been able to vanish into thin air, but what if he was never actually in the asylum in the first place? Maybe he was just an illusion. Chameleon Dmitri Smerdyakov gained his uncanny knack for disguises through his many years of service as a Russian spy. Utilizing a microcomputer on his belt buckle, Dmitri is able to change his appearance at the push of a button. The Chameleon is in fact the first major supervillain Spider-Man ever faced.

With the ability to become anyone instantaneously, breaking into a heavily guarded asylum would prove to be quite a simple task for the Chameleon. Norman Osborn Better known as the Green Goblin, Norman Osborn is truly Peter Parker's greatest enemy. After an experiment gone horribly wrong, Osborn is granted superhuman abilities but is also driven completely insane. The fact that Osborn had been hinted at all throughout "The Amazing Spider-Man" makes us think that he would be the most logical choice to be the villain in the sequel. As for his little disappearing act? Let's just chalk that one up to stealthiness. Share your prediction in the comments below! Check out everything we've got on "The Amazing Spider-Man."

The Green Goblin ―The Green Goblin/Norman Osborn [src] "Uh-oh." ―Norman right before his death [src] "I could squash you like a bug right now!" ―Green Goblin to Spider-Man [src] "Peter, don't tell Harry." ―Norman's last words [src] "The one thing they love more than a hero is to see a hero fail, fall, die trying. In spite of everything you've done for them, eventually, they will hate you." ―The Green Goblin [src] The Green Goblin (Norman Osborn) is the main antagonist in Spider-Man . He is a fictional supervillain character, who appears in the Marvel comic books, created by writer Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko in 1964. He was portrayed by Willem Dafoe in the first film and featured in all three films in the Raimi Spider-Man Trilogy from 2002 to 2007. Contents Edit Norman Osborn is how you'd expect an everyday businessman to be: confident, appealing, powerful, and full of integrity. But there seems to be more than that.

While a caring dad to Harry somehow, he completely ignores him at times and is incredibly always devoted to Oscorp. Even though Harry apathetically thinks that Norman does anything only for himself ( which is untrue in a way), it shows that despite him being shallow and a bit heartless, he really does love his son; he only wishes for him to walk in his footsteps- which he does way later on. It's not until some point in the film where Harry tells his father about MJ and Peter's intimacy, and Norman apologizing for neglecting Harry and promising to be better that they finally get over their differences. The Green Goblin is unlike Norman's semi-happy-nice-and caring side. Instead, it has a mind and will of its own. The origin points to the chemical drug that Norman took, which unknowingly sprung up the the malicious, delusional side of him. Signs of Goblin controlling Norman while in public are: mocking and insulting Aunt May, bashing Mary Jane, and even causing terror to his enemies or New York's lowly bystanders.

But in private, it shows that Norman is meant to be a tragic character- due to the Goblin brainwashing him to cause harm and destruction to those he thinks deserve it, creating danger for New York, wanting to hurt Spidey's allies and friends, then finally finish him off. What makes Norman even more cooler is he owns up to his actions fully when Peter is about to kill him, but takes off his mask in guilt and shame so he can convince Peter to not damage him more. Even though Spidey's a bit disbelieving, he clearly understands the monster Norman created. Just as the Goblin silently tries to kill him, Spidey quickly jumps out of the way when the scythe-like blades of Goblin's glider come at him almost, but unfortunately impale Norman/ Goblin to a painful death. It's believed that since Norman passed on, so did the Goblin; not together, but metaphorically. Since Norman Osborn was good all along, he passed on. As for the Green Goblin, that's another chaotic nightmare... History Edit Norman Osborn was a rich industrialist and the founder of Oscorp , which was working towards winning a contract with the military to supply weapons.

He has a single son, Harry osborn and a deceased wife who apparently died in Harry's infancy. Norman greatly appreciates Harry's best friend Peter's scientific aptitude and can barely conceal his desire that Peter Parker was his own son, causing Harry discomfort. Meanwhile, General Slocum of the United States Army visits Oscorp to see the results of their new super soldier formula. When one of Norman's top scientists, Dr. Stromm warns him the formula is unstable, General Slocum threatens to pull all of the military's funding from Oscorp. Later that night, Norman exposes himself to the formula as its first human trial. He gains superhuman strength and agility but is driven partially insane. He kills Stromm and steals two other Oscorp inventions, an exoskeleton suit and a jet glider. Another night, Slocum visits Quest Aerospace , Oscorp's chief competitor, to view their progress towards the contract. While viewing a demonstration of a new battlesuit, a menacing figure wearing the stolen Oscorp exoskeleton and riding the jet glider attacks a weapons test at Quest Aerospace. Their prototype is destroyed and General Slocum is killed.

Norman basks in his company's eventual success: Quest has to reorganize after the debacle that killed Slocum, Oscorp has been given more government contracts and the company's stock is soaring. He is crestfallen to learn the Board of Directors has chosen this moment to accept a buyout offer from Quest. His insane agression manifests itself in a split personality: the driven yet confused Norman, and the murderous, scheming villain who will soon become known as "The Green Goblin". As The Green Goblin, he attacks Oscorp's annual Unity Day street fair and kills the Board of Directors to prevent the sell out. Spider-man fights off The Green Goblin and saves the day. The Green Goblin attacking the Unity Day Festival. Norman's evil side convinces him that he and Spider-Man should work together as partners. He attacks The Daily Bugle offices, threatening J. Jonah Jameson to tell him who took Spider-Man's photo's, though Jameson refused. Spider-Man arrives and The Green Goblin uses a gas to render Spider-Man unconscious, causing the human webslinger to fall but The Goblin catches him and takes him to a nearby New York building.

The Green Goblin offers Spider-Man a chance of partnership then leaves, giving Spider-Man a few days to think over his offer of partnership. He did warn Spider-Man the city will eventually turn against him, and that they should rule it together. The dailybugle did say Spider-Man was bad in the newspapers and wants him arrested along with goblin. A few days later, on Thanksgiving, The Green Goblin stages a fire in an apartment building to get an answer from Spider-Man. Spider-Man refuses to join with Goblin, and the two fight. They are evenly matched although goblin uses his razor bats and gains a slight advantage. Spider-Man received a bad cut on his arm from one of The Green Goblins's razor bats. Despite the injury, Spider-Man gets the upper hand in hand-to-hand combat before escaping due to goblin being to strong, leaving Goblin in disappointment from Spider-Man's choice. As Norman and Peter respectively, The Green Goblin and Spider-Man are due at Peter and Harry's loft for Thanksgiving dinner. They each race back separately. When Peter arrives to dinner with fresh blood from the cut on his sleeve, Norman then realizes that Peter is Spider-Man and hastily leaves.

On his way out, he insults Harry's then girlfriend Mary Jane and she leaves angrily too, hurt that Harry didn't defend her after what Norman had said. Before the plan to finish Spider-Man Norman contemplates with goblin saying he can't go through with it but the goblin says that Spider-Man has to be stopped. The goblin has a plan attack Spider-Man's love one's to easily destract him and easily defeat him. That night, The Green Goblin attacks Aunt May at her home, sending her to the hospital. The Green Goblin then decides to strike at Spider-Man through Mary Jane. He kidnaps her, then sabotages a trolley car along the Roosevelt Bridge. Spider-Man arrives and The Green Goblin gives him the choice of saving either Mary Jane or the trolley car, then drops them both from the bridge. However, Spider-man manages to save both, with assistance from a passing barge and pedestrians on the bridge who pelt The Green Goblin with debris and delay him from his attempts to kill Spider-Man. The Green Goblin, furious of Spider-Man, grabs him and throws him into an abandoned building so no one will interfere.

After Spider-Man crashes through the building, The Green Goblin throws a pumpkin bomb into the building, severely injuring and weakening him. The goblin shows pity on Spider-Man for betraying his proposal. With Spider-Man injured , This gives The Green Goblin a chance to brutally beat Spider-Man ,with goblin utilizing strength and agility he's easily able to fight without even getting so much as a scratch without needing weapons or bombs. Goblin plans to make Spider-Man suffer for his betrayal despite Spider-Man's latter's attempts and effort to fight back although Spider-Man does use his web to stop the goblin but he easily rips it apart with his superstrength. Spider-Man trys to use his web to escape but goblin jumps high in the air and stop's him ,goblin uses brutal punches and kicks to make Spider-Man feel pain , he then kicks Spider-Man to a brick wall, as Spider-Man lay defeated the goblin is ready to finish the job.

01:34 Final Battle (Spiderman 2002) - Green Goblin Destroyes Spiderman (HD 1080p)-0 The trident The Green Goblin nearly wins when he taunts how he will finish off Mary Jane with a painful and slow death The goblin draws a shiny green trident and trys to use it on Spider-Man they each struggle but what goblin said about Mj Enraged Spider-Man and regains his strength, stamina, and senses and viciously beats The Green Goblin into submission but stops after Norman takes off his Goblin mask. Norman reasons with Peter that it was the serum and the evil side of him that made him turn to crime. All in the while, The Green Goblin is controlling his jet glider and attempts to stab Spider-Man with it, but he leaps out of the way, since his spider-senses has been regained, just before it collides with him. Norman is impaled and killed as a result. Before death he begs Peter not to tell Harry of his misdeeds, while Peter is left depressed due to losing a father figure and Harry's father. Spider-Man takes Norman's body back to his penthouse apartment.

He returns the Goblin gear back to Norman's secret lair. He places his body on a sofabed, but Harry sees them and thusly blames Spider-Man for Norman's death. At his father's funeral, he vows revenge and thanks Peter for being such a great friend. Edit After Spider-Man's defeat of Doctor Octopus , Peter's true identity as Spider-Man is revealed to Harry. Subsequently Norman appears in a hallucination in a mirror to Harry, demanding him to seek vengance against Peter in a similair fashion to how King Hamlet haunted his son to avenge him in Shakespeare's play. Harry refuses leading to Norman calling him weak. Enraged, Harry broke the mirror, revealing the secret Goblin lair, and therefore his father's true identity. Norman appearing in one of Harry's mirror hallucinations. Edit Six months later Norman's hallucination returns to encourage his son to again destroy Spider-Man. This time Harry acts on his father's words and dons the Oscorp gear and glider as "The New Goblin" and attacks Peter, but is knocked out and suffers from immediate memory loss, forgetting his promise to Norman for revenge.

In time Harry has flashbacks and remembers Peter's alter-ego; he again sees his father in the mirror telling him this time to attack Peter's heart. He threatens Mary Jane and blackmails her into breaking up with Peter, then lies that he is the one she dumped him for. Later Peter attacks Harry and boasted of how Norman never truly loved Harry. The Osborn's butler later tells Harry that Spider-Man was not to blame for his father's death an that the wounds were from his own glider. He subsequently drops his father's vendetta, then aids Peter against The Sandman and Venom at the cost of his own life. Before he dies he forgave Peter for Norman's death. Abilities and Equipment Edit The Green Goblin pilots a high-tech jet glider , armed with seeking missiles and machine guns. His suit consists of green armor that cybernetically connects him to his glider and weapons. He is seen using three varieties of his signature " Pumpkin Bombs ": one which is a simple explosive; one that releases a bright, radioactive flash which reduces people to skeletons; and one that splits into flying, razor-bat blades.

Rather than carrying a shoulder "bag of tricks", the weapons are contained in the glider and are ejected individually out of their storage compartment when desired. His suit is armed with knockout gas that is released from the wrists. His suit is also linked to the Goblin Glider, allowing him to control it remotely. Green goblin has superhuman strength capable of beating Spider-Man in battle using his hand to hand combat (though Spider-Man was hurt) he can also break Spider-Mans web which is like metal really easily. Has a shiny trident specifically to kill Spider-Man. His armor protects him from majority of injuries so he 's barly being hurt or damaged from fighting unlike Spider-Man. It's only damaged when Spider-Man brings down a brick wall which made his suit finally experience dents and scratches. Appearance Edit The Goblin has a shiny metal green suit that's pressed and manufactured were it fits the mask and glider and the person wearing it. The mask is a goblin mask with yellow eyes and an opening for his mouth. On his left leg is a button which slides the eyes of the mask up for Goblin to see. On his right arm is also a button for the glider to come.

He has metal green layer on his arms and chest without weighing him with heavier armor. On his wrists are button's as well for the sleeping gas he used against Spider-Man. As for his abdomen, back, and legs which instead of mostly green armor it is smooth out where the wearer can move easily and not restricted. Gallery Edit The Green Goblin was eventually chosen to be the film's main villain as Sam Raimi felt the father-son theme between Norman and Harry would make the film deeper. David Koepp's earlier script had Doctor Octopus as a secondary villain. Edward Norton, Nicolas Cage, John Malkovich and Robert De Niro were all offered the role of The Green Goblin but all turned it down. Willem Dafoe was eventually cast in 2000 for the part. As Dafoe was never an intended choice to play the Green Goblin, a script fell into his possession by chance. He then began lobbying for the role and met with Sam Raimi. Sometime later, while filming a movie in Spain, Dafoe was approached and shot some test footage inside the hotel room he was staying in which led to him being cast.

Once he received the role, Dafoe asked that he be allowed to perform his own stunts so that the character and movements would feel authentic, or else the audience would notice the difference. He performed almost all of his own stunts, and unlike many of the stunt crew, learned how to handle the Goblin Glider after just fifteen minutes. After greatly enjoying his time during filming, Dafoe offered to return for Spider-Man 2 and asked if they could write his character in somewhere, despite his character having died in Spider-Man. Sam Raimi took him up on the offer and both of them set aside a specific day of filming on Spider-Man 2 for Dafoe to shoot Harry Osborn's mirror dream sequence. This was repeated again in Spider-Man 3 . The Green Goblin's costume was originally designed to be more bulky and armoured, but Willem Dafoe, having decided to film his own stunts, rejected it in favour of a more streamlined and athletic costume. The final outfit was composed of 580 pieces and took Dafoe half an hour to put on.

This is great news, but sadly, It also comes with some bad news (well, it may be good news for you). They're rebooting the franchise again (Sadly, Andrew and Emma are out). With a reboot means new actors, so I decided to put together a little fancast of which actors should play the characters. Enjoy! (Also, I decided to base my fancast around a high school Peter instead of an adult one, because that seems to be the direction Marvel is taking with him.) *Note: Alot of people I would of liked to use are already in the MCU or have already been cast in the MCU. Peter Parker/Spider-Man - Logan Lerman Peter Parker AKA The Amazing Spider-Man Peter Parker was bitten by a radioactive spider as a teenager, granting him spider-like powers.

After the death of his Uncle Ben, which he could have prevented, Peter learned that "with great power, comes great responsibility". Swearing to always protect the innocent from harm, Peter Parker became the Amazing Spider-Man! Logan Lerman My personal choice for Peter Parker/Spider-Man is Logan Lerman. He has come a long way since the Percy Jackson Movie(s) and has proved that he has some serious acting skills, starring with actors such as Brad Pitt, Emma Watson, Russell Crowe, and others. Along with the acting chops, he also has the looks to play a high school-aged Peter. Runner-Ups: Dylan O'brein, *for an adult Peter, id like to see Jake Gyllenhaal Uncle Ben - Tom Hanks Uncle Ben Peter Parker's Uncle and father figure whose death was the main inspiration for Peter becoming Spider-Man. Ben Parker taught Peter that "With Great Power comes Great Responsibility!" Tom Hanks Tom Hanks has given us some truly amazing performances. He is one of Hollywood’s greatest actors. Uncle Ben is meant to be an inspiration to Peter, and Hanks is one of the most inspiring people in Hollywood, so why can't he play him?

Plus, I could totally see Tom Hanks playing Uncle Ben. Runner-Ups: Craig T. Nelson, William H. Macy Aunt May - Julianne Moore Aunt May Aunt May is the mother figure and aunt-by-marriage to Peter Parker. She's one of the most important people in Pete's life and we've already seen that he will do everything for her. Julianne Moore Excellent in Hunger Games, i think she'll make an excellent Aunt May. Richard Parker - Michael Shanks Richard Parker Richard Parker is the father of Peter Parker (Spider-Man), the husband of Mary Parker, and the younger brother of Ben Parker. Richard worked for the CIA/SHIELD. Michael Shanks He looks almost identicle to comic book Richard Parker. *I couldn't figure out who I wanted to play Mary Parker. If you have any suggestions, please leave them in the comments. Gwen Stacy - Annasophie Robb Gwen Stacy Gwen Stacy is the first true love of Peter Parker. She is also the daughter of Captain George Stacy. She's best known for her tragic death, being thrown off from the Brooklyn Bridge by the Green Goblin.

Annasophie Robb For me, Emma will always be Gwen, but I believe annasophie can make a decent, if not good, Gwen Stacy. Captain George Stacy - Scott Bakula Captain George Stacy Captain George Stacy is the father of Peter Parker's love interest Gwen Stacy. He was a retired Captain from the New York Police Department. He was killed at the hands of Doctor Octopus. Scott Bakula Again, I based this choice mainly on looks. Mary Jane Watson - Jane Levy Mary Jane Watson Mary Jane is depicted as an extremely beautiful, green-eyed redhead, and has been the primary romantic interest of Peter Parker for the last twenty years, although initially competing with others for his affection, most prominently with Gwen Stacy and the Black Cat. Jane Levy Now, my first choice for MJ is Emma Stone, but I feel that she would be too old for high school aged MJ and it would also sorta be, how can I put this, unfair to cast her. Thats the best way I can put it, but hopefully you guys get what I'm saying. So I cast Jane Levy, or as I like to call her, Emma Stone's younger clone.

Runner-Ups: Shailene Woodley Liz Allan - Emily Kinney Liz Allan Elizabeth "Liz" Allan was a classmate of Peter Parker. She dated and later married Harry Osborn, Peter's best friend. She has a son named Normie Osborn. Emily Kinney She was great in Walking Dead, and Im sure she'll be great in this. Eugene "Flash" Thompson/Agent Venom - Liam Hemsworth Eugene "Flash" Thompson AKA Agent Venom Flash attended the same high school and university as Peter Parker, who would later be known as Spider-Man. He frequently bullied Peter, but was actually Spider-Man's greatest fan. Flash would later befriend Peter, and became a decorated war hero. He is currently Agent Venom, the host of the Venom symbiote. Liam Hemsworth Liam is a wonderful actor. I saw wonderful qualities that make him perfect for Agent Venom. He has the look, the voice and the demeanor of Flash Thompson. Plus, his brother is Thor (Chris Hemsworth), so it'll be a wonderful opportunity to have him join his brother in the MCU.

Runner-Ups: Sam Calaflin Harry Osborn/Green Goblin (?) - Steven McQueen Harry Osborn The son of the famous Norman Osborn, he often finds himself living in his fathers shadow. He has had a run in with drugs before and he was/is the Green Goblin Steven McQueen Stephen McQueen has proven himself a solid actor with the vampire diaries. Norman Osborn/Green Goblin - Jon Hamm Norman Osborn Known for many years as the Green Goblin and Spider-Man's arch-enemy, Osborn fooled the world into thinking he's a hero under the guise of the Iron Patriot and outed many heroes as cowards. His downfall was caused by his own insanity when he led a Siege on Asgard. Jon Hamm Hamm is great in Madmen, and I just invision him as Norman. I also tried to pick people that could pass for father and son for the Osborns. J. Jonah Jameson - J. K. Simmons J. Jonah Jameson J. Jonah Jameson is the employer of Peter B. Parker and remains an aggravate of Spider-Man. He is the chief editor and publisher of the Daily Bugle, a New York newspaper.

Simmons as JJJ in the original Spider-Man trilogy I mean, come on. Who else can play him? Runner-Ups: Nobody. Well... MAYBE Hugh Laurie... Joseph "Robbie" Robinson - Denzel washington Joseph "Robbie" Robinson Robbie spent his childhood in Harlem. He was an assiduous worker in order to succeed his studies and to impose himself in a world where it is difficult to be a black guy from Harlem. His passion for journalism began in high school. He worked in every subject even if it hurt his friends.It happened one day when Joseph Robertson wrote an article on his friend Lonnie Thompson Lincoln ( Tombstone). Indeed Tombstone was a torturer with his classmates. Their friendship was over and Lonnie threatened Robbie. Joseph Robertson decided to not publish his article. Another time, Robbie saw Tombstone kill someone. Robbie was eventually succesfull in getting a good job and went away from his past and most luckily, from Tombstone. Denzel Washington Denzel Washington is an excellent actor, and I think hes got what it takes to pull off Robbie. Betty Brant - Zooey Deschanel Betty Brant Betty Brant started as a personal secretary at the Daily Bugle and later became a top reporter.

Betty is also one of the many love interests of Peter Parker. Zooey Deschanel I think she would be perfect as Betty. Eddie Brock/Venom - Jensen Ackles Venom Eddie Brock bonded to the alien Symbiote after it was discarded by Spider-Man, becoming the first Venom. Brock was later Anti-Venom, but the symbiote was lost during Spider-Island. He has recently been forcibly bonded to the Toxin symbiote by the Crime Master. Jensen Ackles He's great in Supernatural, and whenever I look at him, something, to me, just screams Eddie Brock. John Jameson - Ryan Kwaten John Jameson Famous astronaut and son of J. Jonah Jameson. he ends up marrying She-Huk, which greatly distresses his father. Ryan Kwaten He has got the looks to play the famous astronaut Felecia Hardy/Black Cat - Renee Olstead Black Cat Former cat burglar Felicia Hardy became a crime fighter when she became romantically involved with Spider-Man. Felicia has the ability to instill "bad luck" around others - this comes in handy when fighting crime!

Renee Olstead She would make an excellent Felecia/Black Cat imo. Dr. Curt Connors/The Lizard - Aaron Eckhart The Lizard During an experiment Dr. Curtis Connors accidentally turned into a ferocious reptilian monster who seeks to turn humans into lizards like himself. The Lizard is one of Spider-Man’s oldest and deadliest foes while ironically, his alter ego is a close friend and former teacher of Spidey’s alter ego Peter Parker. Aaron Eckhart I believe that he has the skill to play the contrast between Dr. Connors and the Lizard well. Dr. Miles Warren/Jackal - Elias Koteas Jackal Miles Warren was a professor at Empire State University. He later developed a fondness for Gwen Stacy, who was a student of his. After she was killed by the Green Goblin, Miles blamed Spider-Man instead. Soon after Gwen Stacy's death Miles became the Jackal (and did a bunch of clone stuff, but we dont talk about that).

Elias Koteas My first choice was Andy Serkis, but he's already cast in the MCU (most likely as Klaw) sooooo....I believe Elias Koteas can pull off the "College professor goes crazy after the student he had a crush on dies so he made a bunch of clones and crap happened" dynamic very well. Hes a very underrated actor imo. Cletus Kasady/Carnage - Jim Carrey Carnage Cletus Kassady is a deranged and highly dangerous serial killer and long-time host to the Carnage symbiote.He is captured and sent to Ryker's Island prison where he shares a cell with Eddie Brock, who had lost his alien symbiote. Brock's symbiote soon returns and bonds with him again, and unwittingly leaves behind the symbiote's offspring behind. This Venom offspring, later named Carnage, gets into a cut on Kasady, thus bonding with his blood and transforming him into Carnage (also causing his symbiote to turn red). He escapes prison, and begins a series of murders, and at the scene of each crime, writes "Carnage Rules" on the walls with his own blood.

Jim Carrey For some reason, I think Jim Carrey is just perfect for the role. Runner-Ups: Elijah Wood Dr. Otto Octavius/Doctor Octopus - Christopher Waltz Dr. Otto Octavius AKA Doctor Octopus A former nuclear physicist and atomic researcher, Dr. Otto Octavius' life changed forever when one of his experiments went horribly wrong. From that day forward, he has set out to prove his superior intellect in a number of ways, but these plans are usually thwarted by Spider-Man. Christopher Waltz Why? Because Christopher. freaking. Waltz. Dr. Adrian Toomes/The Vulture - Stanley Tucci The Vulture Swindled by his business partner out of his equal share of the profits from their company, Adrian Toomes set out for revenge by using a flying harness of his own design. He has however, met defeat several times at the hands of his arch-nemesis, The Amazing Spider-Man. Stanley Tucci He's a great actor plus he looks like Adrian Toomes.

Roderick Kingsley/Hobgoblin - Leonardo Dicaprio Hobgoblin Roderick Kingsley became a worthy heir of the Goblin legacy, creating his own identity of the Hobgoblin rather than being just another Green Goblin clone. Leonardo Dicaprio I think Leonardo Dicaprio has got what it takes to plaay the rich, snobby Roderik Kingsley, while also playing the slightly deranged Hobgoblin. Sergei Kravenoff/Kraven the Hunter - Manu Bennett Sergei Kravenoff/Kraven the Hunter A famous big game hunter who became a mercenary and later developed an intense obsession with restoring honor to his name. Kraven has been known as a major threat for Spider-Man and leaving a legacy during his demise. Manu Bennett He has done a great job as deathstroke on Arrow, and I think he can pull off Kraven the Hunter just fine. Quentin Beck/Mysterio - Andrew Scott Mysterio Mysterio was a formidable foe to the amazing Spider-Man. So much so that his arts of illusion were carried on by others after the original Mysterio's death. The original Mysterio, Quentin Beck, has recently returned.

The events behind his resurrection are currently shrouded in mystery. Andrew Scott David Tenant was my first pick, but hes the purple man now, so I picked Andrew Scott. He plays a very Mysterious (ha, get it?) charater on Sherlock so this role suits him nicely. Aleksei Sytsevich/The Rhino - Nathan Jones The rhino Brawn over brains. The Rhino is an adversary of the amazing Spider-Man and incredible Hulk. His suit grants him immense endurance and strength. He recently returned to a life of crime following an all too brief retirement. Nathan Jones You dont really need a superb actor for rhino, seeing as hes more of the silent and likes to destroy things type. But what you do need is someone extremely muscular, and I think Nathan Jones is that guy. CGI will do the rest. William Baker (AKA Flint Marko)/Sandman - William Mcintyre Sandman Former enemy of Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four, Sandman reformed after realising he was unhappy with his life. He joined the Avengers and later Silver Sable's Wild Pack. Sandman eventually returned to crime, after being brainwashed by the Wizard, but sometimes still displays desire to better himself.

William Mcintyre He was good on Spartacus, and I can see him playing flint. Mac Gargan/Scorpion/Venom - Michael C. Hall Scorpion MacDonald Gargan was a failing private investigator that was turned into the Scorpion with financial help from J.Jonah Jameson. He became the host of the Venom symbiote and was part of Norman Osborn's Dark Avengers. After it was taken by the US Government and he became The Scorpion once again. Michael C. Hall Played a murdering psyco on dexter, basically the same thing. Herman Schultz/Shocker - George Eads Shocker Shocker is a villain who has a pair of gauntlets that, when activated by a thumb trigger, can project a concentrated blast of air that is vibrated at an intense frequency. George Eads I always imagined Shocker looking like George Eads without mask. That’s why I gave role to him. Who knows, his preformance may shock us (hehe). Maxwell Dillon/Electro - Aaron Paul Electro One of Spider-Man's most dangerous enemies, the electric human dynamo known as Electro has constantly been a major threat for the Amazing Spider-Man.

Aaron Paul Aaron has really proven himself a good actor on Breaking Bad, and I think he can play electro. Dmitri Smerdyakov/Chameleon - Jeffrey Donovan The Chameleon The Chameleon is a spy and master of disguise. Throughout his history, he has used a variety of traditional, high-tech and biologically enhanced ways to change his appearance, believably imitating almost anyone. He is Kraven the Hunter's half-brother. Jeffrey Donovan Jeffrey Donovan's face is ideal for Chameleon like Hugo Weaving’s for Red Skull, so I don’t think that someone else can paly Chameleon better than Jeffrey Donovan. So? How did I do in my fancasting? Leave your feedback in the comments below. Until next time. Poll So, what do you think? AWESOME! All of these castings are excellent!

THESE ARE HORRIBLE CHOICES! *Note: If I left out anyone, Its either because I forgot, or I didnt feel like it. Is the Green Goblin Headed to 'Amazing Spider-Man 3'?

| Hollywood Reporter 11:53am PT by Graeme McMillan Is the Green Goblin Headed to 'Amazing Spider-Man 3'? Getty Images Chris Cooper says his "Amazing Spider-Man 2" role will lead to "better things" in the third movie. Despite teases to the contrary, at least one person seems to believe that The Amazing Spider-Man 3 isn't going to be all about the Sinister Six. Considering that that man plays Norman Osborn -- better known to most Spider fans as the Green Goblin -- it's possible that he may know more than most about the subject. Talking to Access Hollywood at the Toronto International Film Festival, Chris Cooper called his appearance in next year's Amazing Spider-Man 2 "an introduction to Norman Osborn" that "apparently leads to better things in [The Amazing] Spider-Man 3." RELATED: How Many Bad Guys Will Spider-Man Have to Deal With in 'Amazing 3'? "I think it's fair to say he's on his last legs. And I don't know if I can say anything more," Cooper explained about Osborn's status in Marc Webb's second Spider-Man flick.

That makes sense considering the hints about Osborn from 2012's The Amazing Spider-Man, and the idea that maybe all the genetic manipulation he's funding is for somewhat selfish reasons. It isn't a surprise that we'll see the Norman Osborn move into bad-guy mode before the end of Webb's trilogy -- he is, after all, likely the most well-known Spider-Man villain, especially for the Gwen Stacy era, that the movies seem to be working within. But just because Cooper is hinting at "better things" for the character, that doesn't necessarily mean that we'll see an appearance from his Goblin alter ego. Could we see Osborn cause mischief without a mask? The break from tradition might be worth it for the chance to see Cooper chew some scenery… Graeme McMillan Norman Osborn | Amazing Spider-Man Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Norman Osborn was the CEO and founder of Oscorp Industries , and the father of Harry Osborn . Contents [ show ] Biography Little is known of Norman Osborn, other than that he had a debilitating disease called 'Retroviral Hypodisplasia' which killed him. Dr. Curt Connors ' and Dr.

Rajit Ratha 's experiments with lizard DNA were an attempt to cure him, until Connors used the serum on himself, transforming into the monstrous Lizard . After the Lizard was destroyed (for the first time), Connors and Ratha quit their works, and Connors was thrown into a mental institute . Currently, there are no known cures for the Osborn illness, and it is unknown if anyone is even attempting to find a cure. Norman's son, Harry , returns after years away in boarding school and visits him in the hospital, where by this point Norman is in very poor health. Norman explains to Harry that his illness is genetic, and that he is at the right age where it begins to show. Before he dies, Norman gives Harry a device saying it is his life's work. The next day, it is reported that Norman had passed away. Deleted Post-Credits Scene There was a post-credits scene in The Amazing Spider Man 2 but it was deleted from the final cut. The scene shows Gustav Fiers walking through the Special Projects and going to Door 3. There, you can see Norman Osborn's frozen head. Gustav says "Wake up my friend" Norman opens his eyes.

Also, when Norman passes away, you see the nurses rushing in to cover up his body. One of the nurses is pushing a rack with a jar on it. That could be the jar where Norman's Osborns frozen head was placed. Trivia For unknown reasons, Chris Cooper wasn't credited for his appearance as Norman in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 . Osborn, in other Spider-Man media, takes on the identity of the Green Goblin, a famous Spider-Man villain. However in this universe its his son Harry who first takes on the identity of the Green Goblin. It is rumoured that Norman may have come back as the Ultimate incarnation of the Green Goblin. Chris Cooper had stated that Norman's appearance in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 would be the introduction to the character, and a return in The Amazing Spider-Man 3 will be on the cards. Marc Webb had confirmed that Norman was planning appear in The Sinister Six film. [1] However, as the Spider-Man franchise is being rebooted in order to be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this version of Norman Osborn will unlikely be part of that continuity.

Gallery Voice Compare: Spider-Man - Norman Osborn | Behind The Voice Actors Steven Weber EDITOR'S OPINION Well folks a while back we have Green Goblin's VC on this site so know we will be doing his (generally) more human counterpart Norman Osborn. (Sometimes the person who voices Norman will be the same as the one who voices Green Goblin but its not always the case. And we all know that there have been cases where we only see the Green Goblin but thats a different story.) While in the 80's TV series Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends Norman was voiced by VA Neil Ross. In this Spider Man series is one of those that gives a nicer depiction of Norman (well before he becomes the Green Goblin) and Neil Ross did do well with that. (He also voiced Norman in the 90's Spider man series in which there is only a slight difference in voice. However unlike the 90's series Neil only voiced Norman in Spider Man and his Amazing Friends.) In the Game based off of the Spider-Man movie, known Hollywood Star Willem Dafoe reprises his role in the game and I always did liked Willem's work in the movie and it shown in the game.

And last but not least is the latest take on Norman (and the latest one where Norman and Green Goblin are voiced by different actors) is fairly known screen actor Alan Rachins voices Norman here and does it rather well. Alan's work on Norman does give him a more cool and confident persona that maybe one of the meaner depictions of Norman but is capable of showing kindness as you can see here. This is another one of those cases in which I am not sure which to pick as all 3 of these actors have done well for the role here.

He is Spider-Man's arch enemy, and as such it is perhaps a little surprise that when the original Spider-Man movie came out in 2002, he was the chosen villain. The movie version is portrayed by Willem Dafoe, and though still very much a villain has a few differences from his mainstream counterpart. Norman Osborn is the only Spider-Man villain on film to be pure evil with no redeeming qualities. Norman Osborn as The Green Goblin. Edit Norman Osborn first appears as the owner of Oscorp and the father of Harry Osborn. He is initially pleasent and supporting of Peter's friendship and also scientific potential, also wanting his own son to recognize his own potential. Unfortunately, his company begins to struggle, with Osborn's promised performance-enhancing serum having been hit with setbacks, not the least of which being that rodents it was tested on displayed violence, aggression, and insanity. Upon being told that his funding is on the verge of being cut, Norman becomes desperate and ultimately tests the serum on himself. The process drives him mad and he promptly murders his own scientist Doctor Stromm. He wakes up afterwards in his home amnesiac and sick.

Later, Oscorp's primary rival suffers a bombing attack, unknowingly caused by Osborn using some of his own inventions. Later, Osborn learns that his Board is expecting his resignation. Enraged at being forced out of his own company, Osborn again becomes the Green Goblin and murders the board members, also first encountering Spider-Man, who he becomes intrigued by. Waking up the next morning, Osborn at last realizes what he is doing but succumbs to the influence of his malevolent and sadistic other half. Attacking Spider-Man, he tries to convince him to join his cause, but is later rejected. As time passes, Norman begins to lose himself more and more to the Green Goblin half of his personality, attacking and threatening May Parker to spite Spider-Man and also let him know that he is aware of his secret identity. The two's feud comes to a head when Green Goblin abducts Mary Jane and threatens to kill her, forcing Spider-Man to choose between her or a sky-cab full of innocent civilians, including children. Spider-Man however, is able to save both the sky-cab and Mary Jane, assisted by civilians who attack Green Goblin and condemn him for his threatening children's lives.

Enraged, Green Goblin takes Spider-Man to a deserted area where their battle resumes. Green Goblin savagely beats Spider-Man and vows to make Mary Jane suffer as punishment for Spider-Man's "really pissing him off". However, this threat only succeeds in invigorating Spider-Man, who manages to defeat Green Goblin. Goblin unmasks himself as Norman Osborn, who begs for forgiveness from a horrified Spider-Man. Unfortunately, the Green Goblin's hold on Norman is too strong and he attempts to skewer Spider-Man from behind with his glider. Alerted to it by his Spider-Sense, Spider-Man moves out of the way and Norman is impaled by his own glider. Right before he dies, Norman, at last freed from the Green Goblin's control, begs Peter to not tell Harry the truth. The Reality Project Edit Norman Osborn appears as The Green Goblin and serves as Villain of The Reality Project and the leader of The Marvel Villains. Willem Dafoe reprises his role. Green Goblin's costume in the Reality Project with Purple high lights to make it look more like the original counterpart. stumbleupon Email Comment Everyone’s favourite friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is set to hit theaters in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 this spring.

Spidey is one of the all time most popular superheroes with comic book titles, television shows and a couple of high-grossing movie franchises under his belt. Spider-Man has a long and storied history, filled with loves lost, alliances forged and enemies made. Created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, the original character was introduced over 50 years ago in comic book form. A character that’s been around for such a long time is going to occupy stories filled with a lot of twist and turns along the way. Fans have known him as a high school nerd, as a college student, even as a family man. As with any superhero comic book legacy, though, his story isn’t linear and the character of Peter Parker has even died, been taken over by another soul, been replaced by a mixed-race Spider-Man… And most recently, it’s been revealed that he’s set to come back to life, Phew! With such a colourful past, it’s no surprise Spidey has encountered a few Here’s a list of 10 of the most controversial stories and moments in the history of Spider-Man.

The Death of Gwen Stacy As is his signature “Parker luck”, Spider-Man has been put through the ringer time and time, again. The guy is great at catching villains with his web shooters, but it seems he’s not able to catch break: He’s been killed, cloned and fired on more than one occasion. Probably the worst thing to happen to Spidey, though, was the death of his first true love, Gwen Stacy (41-year-old spoiler alert?). In The Night Gwen Stacey Died, she was captured and then thrown off of the George Washington Bridge by Spider-Man’s greatest nemesis, the Green Goblin. Spidey shot a web down at the falling Gwen, and actually managed to catch her in mid-air. After a moment of elation, Peter reunites with Gwen only to realize that she’s dead. And to really add insult to injury, it’s understood that when Spidey’s web caught his girlfriend, the bungee effect was so great that it snapped her neck. 9. Gwen Stacy and Norman Osborn So, what’s worse than having your greatest enemy discover your secret identity and murder the one you love?

Well, how about said greatest enemy sleeping with said girlfriend and fathering secret twins that later show up and try to murder you, too? That’s right. Evil, sanity-challenged Norman Osborne had sex with sweet, innocent Gwen Stacey before her fated fall. This (unfortunate) revelation came to light in the “Sins Past” arc of Amazing Spider-Man #509-514. In this story, two mysterious siblings appear on scene to take down our hero. And, oh, they look a lot like Peter’s dead girlfriend. Especially the girl twin, who looks exactly like Gwen Stacey. Why’s that? Well, because these twins have their mother’s blonde good looks. That’s right. Gwen was survived by two children, who apparently have it in for Spider-Man, because they blame him for their mom’s death. But if these two are really the children of Stacey and Osborne, then shouldn’t they be like five-years-old? Chronologically? Yes. But, apparently, when Norman slept with Gwen, he transmitted some sort of Goblin magic that gave his kids some sort of reverse Benjamin Button disease. Norman gets his Goblin power from the Goblin formula, which is radioactive.

It’s in his bloodstream. So, this was somehow passed on to the villainous twins, whose bodies were growing at an exponential rate. Hence, they look like adults by the time they throw down with Spidey. Perhaps the least popular aspect of this story does is that it tarnished the innocent image of Gwen Stacey. 8. The Clone Saga The Clone Saga may well be Spider-Man’s most epic story- at least in terms of length. And when the word “clone” is uttered around any Spidey fan, it’s likely to elicit some sort of guttural reaction- most likely a negative one. The Clone Saga mainly took place in the nineties, but its foundations were laid down back in the seventies. We’ve already mentioned that Norman Osborn and Gwen spent a night together, but the Goblin wasn’t the only older man who was attracted to Parker’s girlfriend. Peter and Gwen’s professor Miles Warren was in love with his college student, and after her death, he blamed Spider-Man. So, being a genetic genius, he cloned Gwen. Warren, also known as the Jackal, knew Spider-Man’s real identity and cloned him as well. Battle ensued, explosions happened. Everyone thought the clone dead.

Fast-forward to the nineties (or fives years in story time), and it turns out that the clone not only survived, but has been living under the name Ben Riley. The Clone Saga featured a much darker and more angry Peter Parker absent of his patented wisecracks. It didn’t help him any when the Jackal returned to wreck havoc on his life with more Peter and Gwen clones. And it really didn’t help Parker to discover that he was actually the clone and Ben Riley was the real deal Peter Parker. This led to Riley becoming Spider-Man. Eventually, of course, it turned out that Peter was indeed the real thing and he returned to don the webs. The Saga spanned over fifty issues, and story aside many fans think it went on just a bit too long. With recent references to the Clone Saga made before the release of Amazing Spider-Man 2, many fans are curious and / or worried about how clones will fit into Spidey’s cinematic universe. 7. The Superior Spider-Man Think it really sucks to die? How about having your mind dumped into your enemy’s old, dying body, and then having to watch that enemy stroll around in your likeness? Oh, and then you die.

That’s what happened to the unfortunate Peter Parker last year. Doctor Octopus, frail and dying, managed to do the one thing no other villain could lay claim to: kill Spider-Man. In a desperate move to preserve his own life, Doc Ock switched bodies with Peter. In Amazing Spider-Man #700, Peter makes a last-ditch effort to get his body back, but Ock has finally outsmarted his long time foe. Peter dies, and Otto, armed (or cursed) with Peter’s memories, vows to do right by the whole “with great power” spiel. Of course, comic book characters die all the time, and are then promptly brought back. But Peter’s death also brought an end to the Amazing Spider-Man title. Now that the bad doctor had donned the webs, the new ‘Superior Spider-Man’ took his place. Smarter. Richer and more ruthless in both fighting style and attitude, Otta sought to be the Peter Parker and the Spider-Man that Peter never was. A serious game changer, the Superior book has garnered great reviews and success since its debut. 6.

Death of Ultimate Spider-man If you’re unfamiliar with Marvel’s Ultimate line of books, here’s the gist: It’s an alternate universe where everyone’s favorite Marvel characters exist, but aren’t subject to the company’s continuity. So, what’s so fun about this? Well, you can do whatever the heck you want to them. Spider-Man has faced many life-threatening situations, but he’s always pulled through. You can’t have the main character of your book die, right? Well, for anyone who’s ever been curious about what it would be like to have Peter Parker die, the ultimate universe is for you. In 2011, Peter died while battling it out for the last time with the Green Goblin. And in the Ultimate line of books, dead actually means dead. This was an all out fight right in front of Peter’s home that saw Spidey’s identity revealed to the world. This ultimate version of Spider-Man was also a teenager, so an adult Peter Parker never even got the chance to grace this parallel universe. So, we got to see Peter save the dead once more, but pay the ultimate price- a shocking moment even if this wasn’t the “main” reality 5.

Miles Morales So, Ultimate Peter Parker was gone, and it was going to stay that way. Spider-Man didn’t have to stay dead, though. His superhero spot was taken over by the spider-powered mixed-race Miles Morales, who was even younger than Peter. Handing an iconic superhero identity to someone new often causes much debate, and that debate often escalates when the new guy is so obviously different. Back in 2010, the Internet seemed to explode when Donald Glover said he would love the chance to play Spidey in the role that Andrew Garfield now holds, and the Ultimate Spider-Man made this dream a possibility: Morales has proven to be a great Spider-Man, but sales for the Ultimate books aren’t very strong, especially since the cinematic world has made Marvel’s main universe more accessible and universally popular. It still remains to be seen what the fate of the Ultimate universe is, but there are plenty who hope to see Miles continue to grow as Spider-Man. 4. Spider-Man’s Identity Revealed in Civil War What’s the number one rule of being Spider-Man? Don’t talk about Spider-Man- well the secret identity part, anyway.

Spider-Man has traditionally held to the masked-hero belief that identities need to be protected, because if the bad guys discover who you really are, they could come at you through your family and friends. Spidey has often learned this the hard way: Norman Osborn discovered his real identity, and in turn, killed his girlfriend and repeatedly went after Parker’s loved ones. And there’s no one Peter cares more about than those closest to him. Which is why it was an utter shock that Spider-Man would take off his mask in front of the entire world. The 2006 Marvel Civil War event saw Iron Man and Captain America take opposing sides on the issue of superhero registration with the U.S. government. Spidey, who was essentially working for Iron Man at the time, came down on the pro-government side, and to prove his position and loyalty, he unmasked. This decision ultimately led to the thing that Peter feared most – someone he loved was hurt directly because of his superhero alter ego. His aunt May was shot and almost killed. And Peter even eventually denounced his previous stance, and joined the fight against the government. This was possibly one of the worse decisions that Spidey has ever made. 3.

Kraven’s Last Hunt Considered one of the greatest Spidey arcs of all time, Kraven’s Last Hunt sees our arachnid hero lose in every sense. Kraven, a rather low-level villain at the time, becomes obsessed with defeating the ultimate prey; Spider-Man. When the Hunter shows up, he’s nothing short of a raving mad man. He appears drugged out, and unfortunately for Peter, he’s also very, very focused. A battle ensues, and Kraven finally defeats the spider. He injects the hero with a drug that essentially brings Peter to as close to death as possible and then buries him alive. After that, Kraven then assumes the Spider-Man identity for two full weeks before Peter finally digs himself out of his own grave. The two confront each other, again, but having already defeated his greatest enemy, Kraven commits suicide. This marked a very dark and intense story unlike any that had been told before this. 2. Aunt May Is Really Alive So, there are very few dead comic book characters that actually stay dead. Uncle Ben is one of them. His wife? Not so much.

Considered one of the most touching moments in Spidey history, May’s death takes place in Amazing Spider-Man #400. Peter’s elderly aunt has awoken from a coma, and they go out to spend a day together. They take a trip to the Empire State Building, and it’s here where May reveals to her nephew that she has known about his superhero alter ego for years, and that she’s proud of him. It’s a touching scene, and what follows is May’s death in Peter’s arms. It was as a sincere scene as any, and there was nothing that could tarnish it- well, except for the reveal in The Final Chapter arc in 1998 that revealed that the woman who had died was not in fact Aunt May at all. She was an actress, who was genetically modified to resemble Aunt May. This was all a plan by one Norman Osborn, who had kidnapped Aunt May and had been holding her captive for years. A rather anticlimactic and bizarre reveal contrasted against such a strong character exit. 1. One More Day Peter made the poor decision to out himself as Spider-Man during Marvel’s Civil War and this eventually led to his Aunt May being shot.

In a desperate attempt to save his aunt’s life, Peter sought to make a deal with the demon Mephisto (essentially Marvel’s version of Satan). Mephisto agreed, but at a price, of course. He would save May’s life, and wipe away the world’s knowledge about Spidey’s real identity, but only if Peter and Mary Jane give him permission to make it so that their marriage never existed. They made the deal, and Spider-Man became a single guy, again. This was a drastic relationship status change for two characters, who were married in The Amazing Spider-Man Annual #21 in 1987. This was seen as a way to revitalise Peter’s character by unlatching him from his ladylove. Unfortunately, many fans felt it forced and unnecessary, using the old magic trope to muddya generally well-loved coupling and overturn Spidey’s history. 313 Shares
