Chris Cooper is another casualty of The Amazing Spider-Man 2, though his loss is due more to a missed opportunity than anything else. Cooper, who has made a career out of playing disappointed fathers, was given the chance to portray the most quintessential disapproving patriarch in comics: Norman Osborn.

Unfortunately for Cooper (and for the audience), he was never given the opportunity to chew the scenery and only expressed is disdain for his son Harry in one single scene before being unceremoniously killed offscreen. His character had the chance of returning for The Amazing Spider-Man 3, as his disembodied frozen head is seen in a deleted scene – but that possibility is now gone thanks to the upcoming reboot of the franchise.

So, should the opportunity arise for another angry father to show up in a comic book film, give Cooper a call, would you?
