Every Spider-Man Movie Villain (Ranked From Worst To Best)
9. Norman Osborn (The Amazing Spider-Man 2)
Heres another one of The Amazing Spider-Man 2s background villains Chris Coopers version of Norman Osborn. Tellingly, even though he appeared in one scene in the finished film - the one where hes bed bound, and passes some bad news to his son Harry (here played by Dane DeHaan) he made more of an impact than The Rhino. Unlike Giamattis horned hell-raiser who only functioned as comic relief, Coopers Osborn does have a certain intimidating presence to him. His appearance as the result of countless experiments on himself - is somewhat grotesque, and Coopers snarling delivery of dialogue leaves a lasting memory, as well as serving to motivate young Harry. Its a shame, really, that we didnt get to see more of Chris Cooper as Norman Osborn. He never got to become the Green Goblin (not on screen, at least), and we never got to witness the kind of trouble he could cause for Spider-Man. With a bit more screen time, maybe Cooper could have climbed a few places on this list. Tantalisingly, rumours suggest he would have been resurrected in later films, if the Webb series had continued.
