Oscorp personnel dismissed questions regarding Norman Osborn's health and whether the company's estranged heir apparent, Harry Osborn, is up to the task of running his father's conglomerate.

Menken stated, "Between the disappearance of Dr. Rajit Ratha, the rogue actions of a very unstable former employee and Norman Osborn's health concerns, everyone in the media will cry the sky is falling, but just the opposite is true. While everyone else ducks for cover, Oscorp is always reaching for the stars."

In the comic books, Spencer Smythe invented the Spider-Slayer robots, which are built specifically to take out Peter Parker. It has not yet been revealed who will play Smythe, but its speculated that it will be B.J. Novak, who was cast yet never confirmed as a specific character. Director Marc Webb did reveal the actor on set, and he very much looks the part.
