Prepare for another treasured Spider-Man villain to be subjected to a wave of renewed criticism!Total Film have today débuted the latest promotional image for Sony Pictures' upcoming superhero movie The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Scheduled to launch in the midst of this year's Summer of Film, the sequel to the 2012 reboot The Amazing Spider-Man sees Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone reprise their roles as Spidey and Gwen respectively, as well as introducing Jamie Foxx as Electro and Paul Giamatti as Rhino.
Who, then, is the not-so-dashing crazed villain gracing our desktop screens in this TF-exclusive image (left), we hear you ask? Why, it's none other than Chronicle's Dane DeHaan, playing Harry Osborn in his Green Goblin guise. Traditionally, the Goblin's human alter-ego is Harry's father Norman, but with the latter character still bed-ridden at this point due to having acquired a seemingly terminal illness, it looks as if we'll have to put up with his successor inhabiting the iconic dual-wing glider for the time being. Speculation is already rife that the classic comic-book storyline The Death of Gwen Stacy will be loosely adapted in the follow-up, and since the Superbowl trailer showed Gwen dangling from a flimsy web-line in the same building where we're seeing Peter and Harry duke it out, could it be that Harry's attack has forced Peter to drop said web in order to survive, in doing so leading Gwen to her inevitable destiny? Give it two months, and either way, we'll know for certain...
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 swings into UK cinemas nationwide on April 18th.
