Sony Pictures Entertainment chief Amy Pascal and Columbia Pictures president of production Michael De Luca.

We’ve always known that Spider-Man’s most important battle has been within himself: the struggle between the ordinary obligations of Peter Parker and the extraordinary responsibilities of Spider-Man. But in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Peter Parker finds that a greater conflict lies ahead. It’s great to be Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield). For Peter Parker, there’s no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen (Emma Stone). But being Spider-Man comes at a price: only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New Yorkers from the formidable villains that threaten the city. With the emergence of Electro (Jamie Foxx), Peter must confront a foe far more powerful than he. And as his old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, Peter comes to realize that all of his enemies have one thing in common: OsCorp...

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 will be directed by Marc Webb from a script written by Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci, Jeff Pinkner and James Vanderbilt. The film will star Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy, Sally Field as Aunt May, Shailene Woodley as Mary Jane Watson, Paul Giamatti as Rhino, Jamie Foxx is Electro and Chris Cooper as Norman Osborn.

The "Sony Hack" continues to produce tantalizing behind-the-scenes information regarding Sony'sfranchise. The latest emails to leak online involve Spider-Man film producerIn it, Pascal informs De Luca that Tolmach would like to introduceinto the Spider-Man franchise, but doesn't think the character could support a film on his own. He would rather introduce Venom in thefilm. And that film will feature Spidey teaming up with the Sinister Six to take down an even bigger threat. Who could be more dangerous than the Sinister Six? Tolmach would like the main villain to be eitheror Venom. If it is the latter, Spider-Man will wear hisin the film. He'll remove it when he can't handle being teased about the look by members of the. I kid you not. And of course, whoever finds Spidey's discarded suit will then become ...By the way, kudos tofor accurately reporting most of this information near the beginning of October, a week before this leaked email was produced.In the follow up email, De Luca explained to Pascal all of the options theirfranchise had in front of them at that time. He brings up the previously-confirmed dealoffered Sony, which would allow Spider-Man to join the. To be more specific, Spider-Man would make ain. If the deal was agreed upon, De Luca reports that. See you later,. De Luca seems gung-ho about the cameo. He thinks it could spark new interest in Spidey. Fans would look forward to Spidey's next film without Sony having to make a Sinister Six film just to put fannies in the seats. Either way, De Luca would be happy with whatever direction Marvel president Kevin Feige chose for the Webhead.That's all based on the deal with Marvel actually happening, but as of right now we know it hasn't, and De Luca addressed that grim possibility as well. Wisely, De Luca proposed, but this time, it won't spend a lot of its time on Spidey's origin or his parents likefilms did. De Luca also thinks Venom, Carnage and Hobgoblin would be nice additions to a reboot. He especially likesbecause his suit isn't formed from an alien symbiote. He'd like to explore the modern Spider-Man comic book stories written by Michael Bendis, Michael Strascynski and Brain K. Vaughn.
