Chris Zylka, who has been in smaller films like "Kaboom", had been revealed as a cast member of the new Marc Webb directed "Spider-Man" reboot just less then a month ago courtesty of his Twitter. Within the article I did reporting Zylka giving a confirmation of his involvement, I gave the news that Zylka would most likely be playing Eugene "Flash" Thompson in the film.

Flash was Peter Parker's high school/college nemesis, who picked on him throughout school. But this new set pic of Zylka with Emma Stone seems to hint that the actor will actually be playing Harry Osborn, played by James Franco in the original Sam Raimi Spider-Man films.

This picture is courtesy of Just Jared:

Why is Chris Zylka probably Harry Osborn, NOT Flash? Look at his hair and build, that is much more "Harry" like, and Harry and Gwen did date in the comic books mainly. Gwen dated Flash, but I dont beleive it was anything long-term.

"Spider-Man" will be released on July 3, 2012, with Marc Webb directing and starring Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Chris Zylka, Irrfan Khan, Martin Sheen, Sally Field, Annie Parisse, Campbell Scott, Julianne Nicholson

RUMOR: Plot Outline for "Spider-Man" Reboot

The movie begins with a thief invading the Parkers house, where he is confronted by Ben Parker (Martin Sheen). Ben says that it was faith that brough them together and is shot by the thief and dies.

Following the prologue, there's a "Watchmen"-esque opening sequence retelling Peter Parker's (Andrew Garfield) origin and his first days as Spider-Man. After it is done, we see Peter in his house, waking up to the sound of a police radio reporting a massacre at the Empire State University, where he studies.

He goes there as Spider-Man and meets police Captain George Stacy (Dennis Leary). He also finds a picture of his parents, Richard (Campbell Scott) and Mary (Julianne Nicholson), among the debris. He has a Flashback of the day they gave him to Ben and decides to aks about them to his Aunt May (Sally Field). When she refuses to answer, Peter storms off.

The following day, Peter and his best friend, Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone) go to college, where Peter finds out that their teacher, Dr. Curt Connors (Rhys Ifans) is missing and that his wife and son are looking for him. He promises that he'll let them know if he hears anything.

Meanwhile, Captain Stacy finds evidence that the murderer from the ESU might he hiding in the sewers. He sends in a team, but they are attacked and slaughtered by the Lizard. Spider-Man appears and fights the Lizard, but is defeated and the creature escapes. However, he manages to retreive a piece of its' clothing.

Spider-Man then comforts one of Stacy's men in his last moments and has a Flashback of the day he confronted Uncle Ben's murderer at a old warehouse and chose to spare him, leaving him hanging on a webb to be find by Stacy, who, at the time, was only a detective.

The following day, Peter analyzes a DNA sample of the Lizard's clothing and discovers that he is Dr. Connors. He has a Flashback of when he and Connors worked together to develop a serum based on reptile DNA that could give amputees their missing limbs back. Peter supected that Connors could be testing the serum on himself, but ultimately tough he was imagining things.

That night, Peter invades ESU as Spider-Man and steals Dr. Connors' diaries and videologs about his experience. He is then attacked by the Lizard and tries to appeal to Dr. Connors' personality, but fails. He goes back home tired and has a nightmare where the ghosts of Richard, Mary and Ben berate him for failing to save them. He calls Gwen and they meet outside her house. She invites him in and he is formaly introduced to Captain Stacy, who then heads for work.

In the kitchen, Peter finds a file about one of police's cold cases: The deaths of Richard and Mary Parker. He steals it, calls ESU and tells them he's sick and then reads the file. It details how Richard and Mary broke in a major pharmaceutical company called Oscorp to investigate the disappearence of several civillians, only to find out that they were being experimented upon by CEO Norman Osborn and his head-scientist, Dr. Nels Van Atter (Irfan Khan). Several of Spider-Man's future enemies are referenced on this scene.

Richard and Mary find the evidence they need and escape. Van Atter calls Osborn and tells him what happened. Osborn explodes Richard and Mary's car and covers it up as a car accident. Peter is furious. Aunt May comforts him.

Realizing he can't change the past, but he can help in the future, he studies Dr. Connors' videologs and creates a antidote for the Lizard Serum. He then heads for the last place the Lizard has been seen: The same warehouse where he confronted Uncle Ben's murderer. Captain Stacy heads there too.

Spider-Man and the Lizard fight and Peter manages to inject the antidote into the Lizard's bloostream, reverting him back to Connors. However, the building starts to collapse and Captain Stacy is hit by the debris while saving a fellow cop. He dies in Spider-Man's arms after telling him he did good.

Gwen heads for her father's funeral while Peter leaves Captain Stacy's file on a desk at NYPD, alongside evidence that confirms Osborn murdered his parents. Osborn is arrested and finds a note saying this was courtesy of "his friendly neighboor Spider-Man". He swears revenge.

A few days later, Peter and Aunt May are helping Gwen pack some of her things when Peter finds a attic with several files about cold cases secretly collected by Captain Stacy, all possibly connected to Oscorp and their illegal genetic experiments. He sets to solve them all. The movie's final swing happens. Troughout it, we can hear Peter's tough, providing insight on what he's thinking in several scenes, much like in the comics and cartoons.

Did I mention he's better looking than the last one? ;) Also - gotta agree with the editors over at /Film - Sony oughta bite the bullet, and release an 'official' pic, even if it's out of costume.

Hopefully they give him a haircut though, not sure I want to see the spiky Twilight looking hair on Spiderman.

At this point, it will be no surprise that Stan "The Man" Lee will have a cameo in the upcoming Untitled Spider-Man Film, starring Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone, but it was confirmed earlier this evening by his excited tweets on Twitter that producer Avi Arad called him to tell him what his cameo would be, and that this time, he would be in an actual action scene.

Here's what was tweeted about his appearance:

"It?s been an exciting week for me, but I got a phone call last night that really flipped me out! I?m bustin? to tell you about it. My pal Avi Arad, producer of the new Spider-Man movie, called to tell me how excited he is about the film. Then came the surprise?Avi told me my cameo is all set for Spidey 4, and when he described it, I realized it?s the best, most unusual one yet!I wish I could tell you what my cameo is, but that would kill the surprise. But I?ll tell you this much?I?m finally in an action scene!"

Suit looks good, actor doesn't look to fit the role though. Of course I'll have a better idea of that when a trailer is eventually released.

Saw him in The Social Network. What a depressing character (and suit/atmosphere). Isn't Spidey the opposite. Unless this is going to be a Nolan dark type superhero movie.
