Ok so we know Chris Cooper is playing Norman Osborn in the Amazing Spider-Man 2 but it's still unclear if he will be playing the Green Goblin. Here's what I think will happened and why!
1. MTV’s Josh Horowitz caught up with Chris Cooper recently and asked about his role of Norman Osborn in The Amazing Spider-Man 2. When asked if we’ll see Norman transform into the villain Green Goblin, Cooper replied:
"The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was an introduction to Norman, and — you’ll see — an extremely odd introduction, which apparently will lead to something more."
Chris said his introduction will be "Extremely odd", I think Norman will figure out a way to transfer his mind in to his sons body (extremely odd. Yes?). Why because we know he is dying and for some reason his son Harry comes back to New York presumably to take over his fathers company or say good bye. Also this has been done in the spider man comics already by Doc Ock(Using a brain-swapping Octobot, Otto Octavius transplanted his mind into the body of his nemesis Spider-Man.)
2. In a video interview Chris Cooper said this:
"Well, this is an introduction to Norman Osborn and apparently this leads to better things in Spider-Man 3. I think it's fair to say he's on his last legs...I don't know if I can say anything more!"
Chris says Norman is on "his last legs"!!! I don't know about you but when I read that I think about a desperate man, man who would do anything to live even take over his sons body? Maybe, maybe not but it's something to think about.
3. So far the villains in TASM 2 are not really sticking to there comic book counter parts a side from names and powers. So this so could mean the green goblin character is also going to have some major changes/twists to his back story and evolution into the green goblin.
4. Why introduce Harry first as the Green Goblin? Could Sony be trying to pull off a Marvel move like they did with the Mandarin? Spider-man is after all still a marvel character and even if many fans were upset about the whole Mandarin bait and switch, some found to be genus! Sony could be trying to ride marvels coats tails on that part.
Ok so I could be grasping a straws here but I think I am on to something! What do you guys think? I am bat shit crazy or could this be a great theory?
