Cooper as Osborn. Didn't saw that coming.
Great casting choice.

by the way, his sixty now.

I'm starting to think that in part 3 they will go with a story where Norman is still dying (serum didn't worked) and he is manipulating Harry to do his crimes for him.

I'm really interested to see where that Justice League Dark goes
JatevinM - 3/2/2013, 8:04 AM
Out if all of this news the one I want more from is Justice League Dark. I'm really excited to see these casting choices. Personally I think Michael Fassbender would make a great Spectre

I think Osborn will be present in the film as a friend of peters. And towards the end he finds out the spider bit Peter and he knows Peter is spider-man. Osborn gets his hands on the serum, transforms into a blend of 616 and ultimate goblin, captures Gwen. Goblin then kills Gwen and we are left with a cliff hangar and GG is the final villian of the trilogy paving the way towards the secrets peters dad kept through the second movie and third

I've been thinking about Justice League Dark a lot lately.
marvel72 - 3/2/2013, 8:14 AM
justice league dark needs to be made,but we are talking about warner bros here it could end up in development hell.

MARVEL STUDIOS ADD ANOTHER HULK MOVIE TO PHASE 3!

Big NO for the Ultimate Green Goblin.

We don't need another lizard type monster

Copper is such a great actor that i would prefer him to play Norman Osborn for whole movie, instead Green Goblin.

Not real sure about the justice league dark thing, but willing to give it a chance!
FilmDrake - 3/2/2013, 8:32 AM
Massee = Mysterio!!!!
Wingding - 3/2/2013, 8:32 AM
All I want is an amazing Justice League film. Not JL Dark, but the Justice League everyone knows and loves. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Flash, Aquaman, Cyborg/Manhunter. PLEASE WB, MAKE THIS WORK AND BE AMAZING. *sigh*...
Maximus101 - 3/2/2013, 8:33 AM
Justice league dark is the only way to go about it, marvel does their more humorous approach where dc does the serious darker take. Personally the darker take on super hero movies are better but that's me anyway.
MJPETTY7 - 3/2/2013, 8:52 AM
All great news! Thanks for the wrap-up Mark!
kemuael - 3/2/2013, 9:11 AM
meh...
IIIAdamantiumIII - 3/2/2013, 9:51 AM
hrrrmm I think Chris Cooper is really playing JJ
RamonSuarez - 3/2/2013, 10:38 AM
Yeah, who was Masse playing?

That was never explained at all in the film.
jerryblake - 3/2/2013, 11:38 AM
At first I thought Massee was going to play Electro, then maybe Mysterio, now i have no [frick]ing clue. Alister Smythee ?
ArmoredAsgardian - 3/2/2013, 5:02 PM
What other than Batman (Nolan's) has DC made that's "dark and more serious"? I can't [frick]ing stand when people when people say "Marvel is goofier and more humorous and DC is is darker and more serious" NO Nolan's Batman is more serious, not DC altogether.
(And want to add I'm talking about movies)
And how the [frick] are they doing Justice League Dark BEFORE the Justice League? Don't they join together after the JL become a team? Hence the name.
StSharp - 3/2/2013, 10:41 PM
I really dont think Justice League Dark is a good idea...at least not before Justice League comes out, I mean the average audience is going to be SO CONFUSED!!! LMAO
