I assume most of the Internet knows Dane DeHaan as the kid from Chronicle. There are others that may know him from “Boardwalk Empire”, Lawless or even The Place Beyond the Pines. Wherever you know him from the fact of the matter is you know him and, I suspect, think he’s one of the better young actors at the moment. Well, he’s also one of the reasons The Amazing Spider-Man 2 remains intriguing despite the lackluster first film directed by Marc Webb, reintroducing the character last year.
DeHaan plays Harry Osborn, the character played by James Franco in Sam Raimi‘s Spider-Man trilogy that soon took up after his father and went all Green Goblin on the city. There is no word, only rumors, as to whether or not Osborn will don the Goblin suit in this latest installment, but my assumption is he won’t.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 will be released in theaters on May 2, 2014 and finds Andrew Garfield returning as Peter Parker, whose life is busy – between taking out the bad guys as Spider-Man and spending time with the person he loves, Gwen (Emma Stone), high school graduation can’t come quickly enough. Peter hasn’t forgotten about the promise he made to Gwen’s father to protect her by staying away – but that’s a promise he just can’t keep. Things will change for Peter when a new villain, Electro (Jamie Foxx), emerges, an old friend, Harry Osborn (DeHaan), returns, and Peter uncovers new clues about his past.
