Marvel’s friendly neighborhood Spider-Man swings back into action this weekend in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, director Marc Webb’s sequel to the 2012 film that reboot the wall-crawler’s big-screen franchise and cast Andrew Garfield as the new face of nerdy superhero Peter Parker.
Not content to rest on the laurels of a successful reboot, Webb and the Amazing Spider-Man team seem intent on throwing everything they can at the franchise’s hard-luck hero in the upcoming film, with not one but three villains making life difficult for Spider-Man. As any Spider-fan can attest, however, Peter Parker’s real superpower just might be his uncanny ability to juggle his love life, his professional life, and his costumed, supervillain-fighting life.
This time around, Spider-Man finds himself challenged by a friend from his past with dark secrets, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), and a former fan named Max Dillon (Jamie Foxx) whose opinion of the webslinger takes a sinister turn after he suffers a freak accident that gives him electrical powers. Oh, and as if that wasn’t enough, he also has to contend with Russian gangster Aleksei Sytsevich (Paul Giamatti), who’s just too stubborn to know when to give up, as well as some major complications in his relationship with his girlfriend, Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone).
