Andrew Garfield 's Spidey swung back into theaters to a franchise low in 2014, which helped put the kibosh on this version of the wallcrawler. The Amazing Spider-Man sequel, which also starred Jamie Foxx as the villain Electro and Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy, earned more than $708 million worldwide, but was generally panned by fans. Garfield was dropped as Spider-Man, and Marvel and Sony made a deal for a new version of Spider-Man to appear in Marvel Cinematic Universe films.

The lineup, including 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2,' will be available in early 2016.

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has revealed its first batch of titles for the emerging Ultra HD Blu-Ray format. Scheduled for availability in early 2016 from Sony are titles including The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Salt, Hancock, Chappie, Pineapple Express and The Smurfs 2.

To view titles in the new Ultra HD Blu-Ray format -- whose spec was agreed upon by the Blu-Ray Disc Association earlier this year -- consumers will need an Ultra HD Blu-Ray player (expected to roll out later this year from multiple consumer electronics manufacturers) and an Ultra HDTV.

The spec supports 4K resolution, which is four times that of high definition. And, high dynamic range is an option afforded by the format; this first batch of Sony titles will support an open, non-proprietary HDR spec and can be viewed with an HDR-supported TV. Many of the Sony titles will also offer the option of immersive audio, the company said.

On the anticipated size of the UHD market, SPHE president Man Jit Singh said: “By some estimates, consumers will own over 100 million Ultra HD television sets by 2019."

Additional Sony 4K catalog titles might later find their way to Ultra HD Blu-Ray. The catalog includes titles such as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Men In Black, Lawrence Of Arabia and The Bridge on the River Kwai.
