It’s been known since last March that B.J. Novak would appear in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, but we’ve since been left to wonder what his role might be. Shailene Woodley’s replacement as Mary Jane? Peter Parker’s obnoxious co-worker who insists he could also be a superhero, if he weren’t so busy with “everything else that’s going on”? Some other clearly ridiculous suggestion? But now we need wonder no more, as director Marc Webb recently, offhandedly referred to Novak on Twitter as “A. Smythe,” which most have interpreted as Webb saying Novak will play “Alistair Smythe,” rather than a medieval forger of metals.
