Speaking to Access Hollywood<\/em><\/a>, The Amazing Spider-Man 2<\/em><\/a>‘s Chris Cooper revealed that Norman Osborn – aka the Green Goblin – doesn’t have a major role in the sequel, but is instead being groomed for bigger and badder things in The Amazing Spider-Man 3<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

“This is an introduction to Norman Osborn,” Cooper said. “And, apparently, this leads to better things in The Amazing Spider-Man 3<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

Mentioned in the first film as being in poor health, funding Curt Connor’s research into the regenerative properties of certain reptiles in order to slow his own terminal decline.<\/p>\n

“I think it’s fair to say that he’s on his last legs,” confirmed Cooper, “and I don’t know if I can say anything more.”<\/p>\n

The Amazing Spider-Man 2<\/em> is due 2 May 2014, while The Amazing Spider-Man<\/em> is out now. Order it now on DVD for £10<\/a> and Blu-ray for £14.99 from Amazon.co.uk<\/a>. Thwip thwip.<\/strong><\/p>\n
