All right, all right, all right. Take this with a grain of salt, but the website pointofgeeks.com is claiming they have a source that says Matthew McConaughey is considering playing the role of Norman Osborn in the upcoming Spider-Man films. What do you think?

Just imagine. “Pete….don’t tell Harry…Oh right Oh right Oh right OH RIGHT!
At first I hated this idea…but that quickly changed after the first knee jerk reaction and now I really like the idea of him in that role. It’d bring star power to the movie…especially if you go with an unknown for Spidey.
I just hope they build up to him becoming the Green Goblin instead of putting him on the glider in the first movie.
Jason Isaacs should be Norman Osborn!
I hope Green Goblin won’t be the main villian of the new Spider-Man movie.
@8 – “But it seems unlikely Mcconaughey would want to commit to multiple films.”
This is what I keep coming back to. I’ve read him comment on how great the money would be but the “sign on for X number of films” part of it seemed like a turnoff for him.
I’d love to see it. But it seems unlikely Mcconaughey would want to commit to multiple films.
(McConaughey in the Spidey/Goblin rooftop conversation scene from SM1)
McConaughey: (holding a pumpkin bomb) You see, this pumpkin bomb is like a flat circle.
I saw a couple days previously on IGN that he (Mconaughey) was “looking for a role in a comic book movie”. I’d guess someone just thought of duct taping one story onto another to create this headline.
Great photos to go with the post!
He’s a good actor, he’d likely work imo. Dunno if the theory is in any way valid, though.
If he’s actually been cast.
I don’t mind the casting. He’s a great actor and was AWESOME in True Detective.
I think it’s clickbait.
Tomorrow I’ll have “a source” that claims Angela Bassett is the new “Norma” Osborn. I’ll run it here with a question mark on the end of it. 😎
