An actor who can play the sweet, rich, quirky Daddy's boy that is also capable of growing into some sizable crazy, goblin killer boots to fill. I may be getting a tad ahead of myself on this story here, but it's essential that an actor should be cast who has the appropriate look and attitude now, and also the longevity to see that character into the future of the franchise. Ten years later, Harry returned to New York to see his terminally ill father. When he graduated, he moved to California and lived the life of a womanizing, spoiled rich boy. He's a character that should be rooted in the same morals and ideals of Peter but ultimately, when he snaps, needs to take those morals to the next level, and become possessed by that feeling of self righteousness. Harry was a childhood friend of Peter Parker 's who was sent off to a boarding school at a young age by his father, Norman.

Donald Menken works as Norman Osborns personal assistant at Oscorp Industries. Created by writer Roger Stern and artist John Romita, Jr. He is a fictional character from the Marvel Comics Spider-Man series. But there's one thing that stuck out about the character that I feel hasn't been addressed well as far as the feature film franchise goes. Donald Menken is the quinary antagonist in The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Much like the rest of the world, I grew up with Spider-Man.
