The Office star B.J. Novak will be appearing in the highly-anticipated film in what is a currently unknown role at the moment. What is known though is that his character will have some form of ties to Oscorp. This cast is stacking up to be pretty damn impressive.

In The Amazing Spider-Man™ 2, for Peter Parker, life is busy – between taking out the bad guys as Spider-Man and spending time with the person he loves, Gwen, high school graduation can’t come quickly enough. Peter hasn’t forgotten about the promise he made to Gwen’s father to protect her by staying away – but that’s a promise he just can’t keep. Things will change for Peter when a new villain, Electro, emerges, an old friend, Harry Osborn, returns, and Peter uncovers new clues about his past.
