Short description

For Peter Parker, life is busy. Between taking out the bad guys as Spider-Man and spending time with the person he loves, Gwen Stacy, high school graduation cannot come quickly enough. Peter has not forgotten about the promise he made to Gwen’s father to protect her by staying away, but that is a promise he cannot keep. Things will change for Peter when a new villain, Electro, emerges, an old friend, Harry Osborn, returns, and Peter uncovers new clues about his past.

What's left behind the scenes

  • Sarah Gadon, Jane Levy, and Kristen Stewart were considered for the role of Mary Jane, but it was ultimately decided to scrap the character.
  • At the end of the film, when Gwen falls, a lot of fairly large debris flies around her, but when Spider-Man catches her near the ground, the area around her is practically clear.
  • Shailene Woodley was chosen for the role of Mary Jane Watson, but in June, after she had already filmed for three days, it was announced that Mary Jane had been cut from the plot and would only appear in the third installment, to focus on the relationship between Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy. It was also revealed that the role might be given to another actress.
  • To film the battle in Times Square, the set decorators constructed a full-size, accurate replica of the northern part of New York's most famous square.
  • Towards the end of the film, Gwen Stacy wears a mint-colored coat and a purple skirt, the same outfit she wears in the comic "The Night Gwen Stacy Died."
  • Director Marc Webb decided to shoot the film on 35mm film instead of the Red Epic digital cameras used for the first movie.
  • Chris Cooper (who plays Norman Osborn) was considered for the role of Doctor Octopus in the film 'Spider-Man 2' (2004).
  • Chris Cooper (who plays Norman Osborn) was considered for the role of Doctor Octopus in "Spider-Man 2" (2004).
  • Specifically for this film, Spider-Man's costume was altered to more closely resemble the one he first appeared in on the pages of the comics.
  • On September 28, 2012, it was confirmed that Andrew Garfield would play the role of Spider-Man. Simultaneously, Marc Webb was confirmed as the director of the sequel.
  • In August 2011, 11 months before the release of "The Amazing Spider-Man" (2012), Sony studio announced the release date of the sequel.
  • The car chase sequence was filmed in Rochester, New York. Kodak's headquarters is also located in Rochester, and the film was shot on Kodak film.
  • The plot revolves around two passenger planes that are supposed to collide in mid-air due to a loss of communication with air traffic control caused by a power outage on the ground. In such large airports, emergency generators should automatically activate. It's also unclear why the planes didn't crash when the pilot reports the failure of some of the aircraft's systems. Judging by the continuation of the scene, the pilots calmly continue to control the plane, and only one system was completely non-functional: the Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS). The latter automatically warns pilots of a collision with another aircraft without the involvement of air traffic controllers or other ground equipment, and also provides guidance on evasive maneuvers.
  • After Gwen Stacy's death, Peter Parker visits the cemetery in all seasons. But the next scene, involving Aunt May and a disheartened Peter Parker, reveals that only six months have passed since Spider-Man stopped "working". Obviously, he stopped "working" after Gwen's death. Therefore, six months could not turn into four seasons even with the worst climate in New York.
  • Chris Cooper previously appeared in "The Favorite" (2003), alongside Tobey Maguire and Elizabeth Banks, who also starred in the previous Spider-Man films.
  • Chris Cooper previously appeared in the film 'The Insider' (2003), which also starred Tobey Maguire and Elizabeth Banks, both of whom appeared in the previous Spider-Man film series.

  • Dane DeHaan, Alden Ehrenreich, Brady Corbet, Eddie Redmayne, Sam Claflin, Douglas Booth, and Boyd Holbrook were considered for the role of Harry Osborn. On December 3, 2012, Dane DeHaan was cast in the role.
  • In August 2011, eleven months before the release of "The Amazing Spider-Man" (2012), Sony Pictures announced the release date for the sequel.
  • On November 1, 2012, it was revealed that negotiations were underway with Jamie Foxx for the role of the main villain. Later, information was confirmed that Spider-Man's adversary would be Electro. On December 3, 2012, Jamie Foxx officially landed the role.
  • Jamie Foxx insisted that Electro not wear the classic comic book costume, but instead that his appearance be based on the Ultimate version of the comics.
  • According to the plot, two passenger planes are set to collide in mid-air because communication with the dispatcher was lost due to a power outage on the ground. In such large airports, backup generators should activate automatically. It is also unclear why the planes did not crash when the pilot reports that some of the aircraft's systems are malfunctioning. Judging by the rest of the scene, the pilots continue to fly the plane calmly, and of all the systems, only one was completely non-functional: the 'Airborne Collision Avoidance System.' The latter automatically warns pilots of a collision with another aircraft without the involvement of air traffic controllers or other ground equipment, and also provides evasive maneuver instructions.
  • Sarah Gadon, Jane Levy, and Kristen Stewart were considered for the role of Mary Jane, but ultimately the character was dropped.
  • Shailene Woodley was cast as Mary Jane Watson, but in June, after she had already been filming for three days, it was announced that Mary Jane had been cut from the plot and would only appear in the third installment to focus on the relationship between Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy. It also became known that the role might be given to another actress.

  • On September 28, 2012, it was confirmed that Andrew Garfield would play Spider-Man. Simultaneously, Marc Webb was approved as the director of the sequel.
