Details on the story have also been announced: “In The Amazing Spider-Man™ 2, for Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield), life is busy – between taking out the bad guys as Spider-Man and spending time with the person he loves, Gwen (Emma Stone), high school graduation can’t come quickly enough. Peter hasn’t forgotten about the promise he made to Gwen’s father to protect her by staying away – but that’s a promise he just can’t keep. Things will change for Peter when a new villain, Electro (Jamie Foxx), emerges, an old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, and Peter uncovers new clues about his past“.

Here is the trailer for the first installment:

If you’ve seen it, what did you think? I thought it was good but not great. The ending seemed like The Avengers on a way smaller scale. I’m still unsure if this was better than the original but I’m still excited to see the second film.
