Amazing Spider-Man 2: Secrets Of OsCorp Featurette

Marvel has released, via MTV, a new featurette about OsCorp in The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Andrew Garfield says, ""OsCorp is like Hell. It's the big, corporate overlord that's ruining our world." The featurette reveales that Norman Osborn has been living with a terminal disease and that all of the work being done at OsCorp has been in attempt to save Norman's life. Director Marc Webb hints that Norman's son, Harry, may also be dealing with the same disease, possibly being what leads him to become the Green Goblin. "Harry is very intelligent," says Webb, "but he's forced to confront certain issues about himself — biological issues — that will pose very serious problems for himself, Spider-Man and Peter." We've always known that Spider-Man's most important conflict has been within himself: the struggle between the ordinary obligations of Peter Parker and the extraordinary responsibilities of Spider-Man. But in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Peter Parker finds that his greatest battle is about to begin. It's great to be Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield). For Peter Parker, there's no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen (Emma Stone). But being Spider-Man comes at a price: only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New Yorkers from the formidable villains that threaten the city. With the emergence of Electro (Jamie Foxx), Peter must confront a foe far more powerful than he. And as his old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, Peter comes to realize that all of his enemies have one thing in common: Oscorp. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 comes to theaters May 2, 2014.
