The Amazing Spider-Man 2

'Amazing Spider-Man 2' is the second installment in the new series of Spider-Man films starring Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker. The film is expected to loosely follow a classic comic book storyline that puts Peter's relationship with Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone) to the test as new villains threaten New York City. After defeating Lizard in 'Amazing Spider-Man,' our hero will now have to battle Electro (Jamie Foxx) and Rhino (Paul Giamatti) while dealing with the impending threat of the man who will become the Green Goblin, Norman Osborn (Chris Cooper).

Release Date: May 2, 2014
Director: Marc Webb
Written By: Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci

Cast: Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Jamie Foxx, Paul Giamatti, Chris Cooper and Shailene Woodley

'The Amazing Spider-Man 3' May Not Arrive Until 2017

With 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' underperforming at the box office, Sony may not be able to keep with their current timeline for sequels, and word is that 'The Amazing Spider-Man 3' is being pushed off of its June 10, 2016 release date and in to 2017.

World Weary

People love universes. Or, more precisely: People love fictional universes. At least, I hear much more about the Marvel universe and the ‘Star Wars’ universe these days than our own infinitely fascinating real universe, but I digress. This isn’t inherently a bad thing – it’s not too surprising that serialized stories, which is really what we mean when we talk about universes – are popular. If a person likes a character, why shouldn’t he or she want to see more of that character?

Victory Lap

Let's call this a victory lap for Nicholas Stoller. And, to be honest, Stoller deserves a victory lap after his movie, 'Neighbors,' surprisingly finished number one at the box office this past weekend (grossing over $61 million domestically to date) ousting 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' from the top spot. And, for Stoller, this marks the first time he's directed a number one film: His previous effort

‘Amazing Spider-Man 2′ Concept Art Shows Off Some Very Different Takes on the Green Goblin

Dane DeHaan's Harry Osborn doesn't become the villainous Green Goblin until the third act of 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' and he couldn't be more different than the previous cinematic take on the character. While original 'Spider-Man' director Sam Raimi put the iconic villain inside a full suit of armor, Marc Webb opted to pursue something slightly closer to the original comic book counterpart, givi

‘Amazing Spider-Man 2′ Almost Had an Osborn-Centric End Credit Sequence

This weekend 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' hit theaters (making over $91 million at the box office), and disappointed anyone who sat through all the end credits thinking they'd get additional footage about the next movie. We've known for a while the film wouldn't feature a sequel tease, but it's now been revealed that an end credit Easter egg sequence was shot that enlarged the role of Chris Cooper's

Here’s Who Marc Webb Wants For the Sinister Six Lineup

While a Shazam-powered 'Amazing Spider-Man 2' post-credits scene seems to hint at a Sinister Six lineup, reports thereafter confirmed that the official movie lineup has actually yet to be decided upon by 'Amazing Spider-Man 3' director Marc Webb and 'Sinister Six' director Drew Goddard. As they work out their scripts for the upcoming Spidey films, it couldn't hurt to speculate, and who better to s

‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2′ Has an Oscorp Problem (and It Could Derail ‘Sinister Six’)

Sony hasn't been shy about their plans for Spider-Man. Before 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' hit theaters, they had release dates for 'The Amazing Spider-Man 3' and 'The Amazing Spider-Man 4.' They've announced spin-off films for Venom and the villainous supergroup known as the Sinister Six. The franchise's producers have openly mocked the idea of ever teaming up with Marvel Studios or 20th Century Fo

Watch 'Amazing Spider-Man 2' Post-Credits Scene of 'X-Men'

In lieu of a traditional 'Amazing Spider-Man 2' post-credits scene, Sony inserted a sneak peek of 'X-Men: Days of Future Past,' probably the closest thing we'll ever get to a cinematic feature film team-up between the web slinger and mutant supergroup. For those of you who went to see Spidey's latest adventure but didn't want to wait to see that 'X-Men' clip, today's your lucky day -- you can watc

Early Rhino Art

Although 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' spends most of its villain time on Jamie Foxx's Electro and Dane DeHaan's Green Goblin, it features a brief cameo from another member of Spidey's rogue's gallery: the Rhino. The new take on the classic villain divided fans from frame one, but some newly released concept art gives us a look at what he could have looked like.
