Franco Talks Hobgoblinish
Harry Osborn became Green Goblin II, not Hobgoblin! Get it straight, Spidey-fans!
Everybody keeps asking James Franco if he'll become the Hobgoblin in Spider-Man 3 but as the actor points out, if you know your comic books, his character never took that name.
"See, that's a- - I obviously can't talk about it but it's weird. Everyone asks me about the Hobgoblin because actually Harry Osborn never became the Hobgoblin. He became the second Green Goblin. But I think Marvel and [director] Sam [Raimi] and everybody, they're not going to be obvious about it," he told Dark Horizons.
When asked if he is looking forward to the third film, Franco said: "Yeah, I mean, they're always great. If I had to go make three movies with a group of people, this would be great to do."
And it may his last: "That's what we signed the contract for. I really don't know what their plans are after this one. Everybody signed a three picture contract at the beginning. I really don't know what's happening after. I don't even know what Sam is going to do."
