Earlier today we got our first look at Green Goblin and Rhino in Amazing Spider-Man 2, and now we have five incredible new official stills that feature Spider-Man and Electro.
With The Amazing Spider-Man 2 trailer landing online in just two days, Sony finally released the much talked about “villain banner” that featured three villains in the film. Rhino, played by Paul Giamatti, Dane DeHaan as Green Goblin and Jamie Foxx as Electro. Now we have even more images from the film! Check them out below:
Although we’re seeing multiple villains in the banner from earlier today, it’s clear that Electro will be the main villain that Spider-Man battles against in Amazing Spider-Man 2. Seeing the other villains brings us back to rumors that as the franchise continues, we may move into a different direction.
While we thought that Amazing Spider-Man 4 would simply be another sequel with Peter Parker (and possibly Shailene Woodley as Mary Jane), it was recently reported that it could be the start of something new. We may be looking at a new hero entirely or simply a bevy of new villains being introduced.
Andrew Garfield, the current Spider-Man, is only contracted to do another three Spider-Man films. We wouldn’t be surprised at all to know that Sony is even looking ahead of him starring as the web crawler.
It’s clear that Sony is looking to do what Marvel has done so successfully: create a universe filled with multiple heroes and villains. While Spider-Man is a Marvel character, the rights belong to Sony, along with all the villains that he encounters in the comics.
We’ll be very interested to find out what Sony’s plans are, as it seems they’re incredibly excited about the potential future of Spider-Man spinoffs.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 release date is set for May 2, 2014. Stars Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone will be returning as Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy, Jamie Foxx (Electro) will also be in the film, along with Sally Fields, Dane DeHaan, Paul Giamatti, and Colm Feore.
