SuperHero Hype was scooped the names of a few actors playing supporting roles in SPIDER-MAN 2, and now we know who's playing one of Peter's mentors, Dr. Curt Connors. He's Dylan Baker (HEAD OF STATE, ROAD TO PERDITION), and it seems that in SM2 Baker's participation will be as the human Dr. Connors and not his villainous alter-ego, The Lizard. Perhaps Raimi is saving the scaly adversary for a future film.

Donna Murphy (STAR TREK: INSURRECTION) plays a character named Rosalie Octavius. While the character hasn't appeared in the Spidey comics she must be connected to Doctor Octopus since her surname is the same as his human identity.

The Hype also lists Ted Raimi returning as Daily Bugle reporter Hoffman and, surprisingly, Willem Dafoe as Norman Osborn and Cliff Robertson as Ben Parker, Peter's deceased uncle. Will they appear in flashback sequences or something different Raimi has in store for us?
