\"Chris<\/a> It looks like The Amazing Spider-Man 2<\/strong>‘s cast is about to add an Oscar-winner in a pivotal role.<\/p>\n

The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> states that Chris Cooper has signed on to play Norman Osborn in the sequel. Osborn is the billionaire scientist and industrialist who eventually becomes the villain known as Green Goblin.<\/p>\n

The only appearance the character made in the first film was in a piece of window box advertising for Oscorp. \u00a0The role was\u00a0originated\u00a0by Willem DaFoe in Spider-Man<\/strong>. \u00a0Dale DeHaan has been cast as his son, Harry, a role originated by James Franco in the previous franchise.<\/p>\n

Cooper is a skilled actor, and a great choice for the role. But one has to ask when will it be too much?
