The Amazing Spider-Man 2

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is a 2014 superhero film directed by Marc Webb. Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone returned to play Spider-Man and Gwen Stacy with Jamie Foxx as Electro, Dane DeHaan as Harry Osborn, Chris Cooper as Norman Osborn and Paul Giamatti as Rhino. It got mixed reviews and was a financial disappointment. It would have been followed by The Amazing Spider-Man 3 in 2016 but was cancelled in exchange for having Tom Holland play a new Peter Parker in the Marvel Cinematic Universe starting with Captain America: Civil War and three solo films from 2017 to 2021.


 * Big Bad Duumvirate: Electro and Harry Osborn.
 * Bigger Bad: Norman Osborn.
 * The Cameo:
 * Stan Lee appears at the graduation ceremony.
 * Mary Jane Watson only appears at the very end during the Rhino scene.
 * Cliff Hanger: The film ends with Spidey trying to defeat the Rhino.
 * Evil Old Folks: Norman Osborn.
 * Mythology Gag: The 1960s Spider-Man theme was used as Peter Parker's ringtone. Spidey also whistles it while webbing up the Rhino.
 * The Stinger: For the theatrical release, there was a clip from X-Men: Days of Future Past.
 * Truer to the Text: Spidey's costume is more comic-book accurate.
