Here it is, after a revealing poster, Sony Pictures has delivered unto us the first trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (in theaters May 2, 2014). If you’ve been anticipating it as much as we have, you’re pretty exited. Clocking in at two minutes and forty one seconds, the trailer gives us a lot to mull over. It seems that while this sequel is shaping up to be more action-packed than the The Amazing Spider-Man, it will still contain the firsts film’s emotional weight (i.e. it assures us that being a superhero can suck).
We also get hints at Peter Parker’s (Andrew Garfield) father and his involvement with Norman Osborne (Chris Cooper), a subplot of Marc Webb’s first film, which could be developing into an overarching storyline carry on through future films, giving the series a serialized feel which Sam Raimi’s original Spider-Man trilogy didn’t have.
An interesting aside: along with some looks at the films villains, Rhino (Paul Giamatti), Electro (Jaimie Foxx), and someone who looks lot like a Goblin (Green or Hob; you decide) and is most likely played by Dane DeHaan, comic book geeks or anyone with the ability to click “pause” on Youtube video may notice items that allude to other Spidey villains such as Doctor Octopus (who was played by Alfred Molina in Spider-Man 2) and the Vulture. Is Sony dropping hints at future installments in the franchise? Will we indeed see the Sinister 6 in Amazing 3 or 4?
