#The amazing spider man 2 peter parker series
The Amazing Spider-Man series was originally intended to continue with two sequels and several spin-offs, most notably films centered on Venom and the Sinister Six. It grossed $709 million worldwide, making it the ninth-highest-grossing film of 2014, but the lowest-grossing live-action Spider-Man film to date. Foxx's portrayal of Max Dillon / Electro was polarizing. It received mixed reviews from critics and audiences, with praise for the special effects, chemistry between Stone and Garfield, the action scenes, and Hans Zimmer's musical score, although the script and length received criticism.
The film was released in 2D, 3D, and IMAX 3D on May 2, 2014, in the United States with two international premieres being held between March 31 and April 10 of that year.
Filming took place in New York City from February to June 2013.
DeHaan, Giamatti, Felicity Jones, and Chris Cooper were cast between December 2012 and February 2013. In the film, Peter Parker tries to protect Gwen Stacy as he investigates his parents' death, while also dealing with the supervillain Electro and the return of his childhood friend Harry Osborn, who is dying from a deadly genetic disease.ĭevelopment of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 began after the success of The Amazing Spider-Man. The film stars Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker / Spider-Man, alongside Emma Stone, Jamie Foxx, Dane DeHaan, Campbell Scott, Embeth Davidtz, Colm Feore, Paul Giamatti, and Sally Field. The studio hired James Vanderbilt to write the screenplay and Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci to rewrite it. It is the fifth theatrical Spider-Man film produced by Columbia Pictures and Marvel Entertainment, the sequel to The Amazing Spider-Man (2012), and the final film in The Amazing Spider-Man series. The film was directed by Marc Webb and produced by Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach. It’d provide Garfield’s Peter the chance to save MJ in a way he failed to save Gwen and, therefore, spare his alternate self from experiencing the same heartbreak that he did.īeyond that, making Garfield’s Peter the one who saves MJ would be an effective way of cementing No Way Home as not just a crossover event film but also the last chapter that binds all three of Sony’s live-action Spider-Man franchises together.The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (internationally titled The Amazing Spider-Man 2: Rise of Electro) is a 2014 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character Spider-Man. Having Garfield’s character be the one to save Zendaya’s MJ from her deadly fall in No Way Home could, however, give his character the emotional resolution he never actually got. The emotional fallout from her death is also something that was never totally resolved for Garfield’s Peter Parker, with Sony deciding to partner with Marvel and reboot the franchise just a year after The Amazing Spider-Man 2’s release. Sony PicturesĪ Full-Circle Moment - The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is far from a perfect superhero film, but its take on the death of Gwen Stacy is one of the most moving scenes that the genre has ever seen.
