got a chance to speak with Dane Dehaan, the actor who will be playing Harry Osborn in the upcoming film The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Dehaan spoke about several  of his roles, from his part in Kill Your Darling to his upcoming turn as James Dean, and talked a bit about playing the part of Osborn.

“When you first meet Harry he’s just graduated from high school, and he has to come back to New York to help deal with Oscorp, and its legacy, and his father [Norman Osborn, played by Chris Cooper]. He also sees Peter Parker for the first time in a long time; they were childhood friends. So it’s really about Harry having a friendship with Peter and an allegiance to Peter, but also being the heir apparent to Oscorp, and having to deal with that.””It’s becoming very obvious that all of these villains are originating from within Oscorp, in one way or the other. There are things that Harry feels he owes Peter, and things he needs from Peter, there are things he feels he needs from Spider-Man, and then there’s his responsibility to Oscorp. It’s a very complicated storyline, really cool and dynamic.””[Peter and Harry] haven’t been friends for such a long time, but they definitely both feel like they used to be best friends, and ideally they would love to rekindle that friendship.”

In Amazing Spider-Man 2, things are going great for Peter Parker, both in his personal life and as Spider-Man. With the emergence of Electro, Peter must confront a foe far more powerful than he. And as his old friend, Harry Osborn, returns, Peter comes to realize that all of his enemies have one thing in common: OsCorp.The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is scheduled to be released in movie theaters May 2, 2014.
