Marc Webb‘s upcoming
The Amazing Spider-Man sequel, THR reports that casting has centered this time on the role of Harry Osborn, played in
Sam Raimi‘s original trilogy by

Brady Corbet (Melancholia),
Dane DeHaan (Chronicle) and
Alden Ehrenreich (Stoker).
Whoever is cast will join the returning
Andrew Garfield and
Emma Stone along with
