Later, he and his wife, Mary, are aboard a private jet hijacked by an assassin sent to kill Richard and his wife. Richard and Mary fight off the man, but the ensuing struggle causes the plane to crash, killing both Richard and Mary, after he uploads the video. In the present time, Richard 's son, Peter, continues to fight crime as Spider - Man. He pursues and apprehends Aleksei Sytsevich. Later, Peter meets with Gwen at their high school graduation ceremony and, insisting he keep his vow to her father, ends their relationship. Peter 's childhood friend, Harry Osborn, returns to Manhattan to see his terminally - ill father, Norman, CEO of OsCorp. Norman explains his illness is genetic, and Harry is at the age where it first develops. Norman gives Harry a small device he claims contains his life 's work. The next day, Norman dies and Harry is appointed the new OsCorp CEO. While working in an OsCorp laboratory, electrical engineer Max Dillon shocks himself by accident and falls into a tank of genetically - engineered electric eels. They attack him, and he mutates into a living electric generator. Meanwhile, Peter attempts to maintain a friendship with Gwen, but she reveals that she may move to England for schooling. Before they can discuss it, Dillon wanders into Times Square, accidentally causing a blackout, and is stopped by Peter after a battle. Dillon is taken to the Ravencroft Institute, where he is studied by German scientist Dr. Kafka. Meanwhile, the first symptoms of Harry 's illness are showing, and he uses the device Norman gave him to deduce that Spider - Man 's blood could help save him. He asks Peter, who has been selling photos of Spider - Man to the Daily Bugle, to aid him in finding Spider - Man. Peter refuses, unsure of what effects the transfusion would have. Although he later comes to Harry as Spider - Man, he still refuses, and Harry becomes resentful towards Spider - Man. The OsCorp board - members, in particular the vice-president, Donald Menken, frame Harry for covering up Dillon 's accident, remove him as CEO, overthrow him, and take control of Oscorp. Harry 's assistant, Felicia Hardy, informs him of equipment that could help him, so he makes a deal with Dillon, who now calls himself `` Electro, '' to get him back inside the OsCorp building. There he finds a suit of armor and other equipment made by Norman, as well as venom from the now - destroyed genetically - altered spiders. The venom accelerates Harry 's illness, and transforms him into a goblin - like creature, but the suit 's built - in emergency protocol restores his health and cures his disease. Peter uses information left by his father to locate the video message in an abandoned subway station 's hidden lab. Richard explains that he had to leave, because he refused to cooperate with Norman 's biogenetic weaponization plans. Peter then hears a voicemail from Gwen, telling him that she was offered the British scholarship, and is heading to the airport earlier than expected. He manages to catch her and professes his love for her, and, vowing to go wherever she goes, they agree to go to England together. Electro causes another blackout, and Peter heads off to battle him as Spider - Man. Gwen follows, and together, they restore power, and overload Electro 's body, killing him. The transformed Harry, who now calls himself `` Green Goblin '', arrives equipped with Norman 's armor and weaponry. Upon seeing Gwen, he deduces Spider - Man 's secret identity and, swearing revenge for being refused the blood transfusion, kidnaps her, and takes her to the top of a clock tower. Peter manages to defeat Harry, but his webbing breaks during the battle, and Gwen falls to her death. Peter mourns over Gwen 's death, and ends his career as Spider - Man. Five months later, Harry is coping with the aftereffects of his transformation while incarcerated at Ravencroft. His associate, Gustav Fiers, visits Harry and the pair discuss forming their own team. Harry orders Fiers to start with Sytsevich. Later, an unknown team of men break Sytsevich out of prison. Equipped with an electromechanical suit of armor, Sytsevich calls himself the Rhino and rampages through the streets. Peter, inspired by Gwen 's graduation speech, resumes his role as Spider - Man, and confronts him.

'' Andrew Garfield had also expressed hope to reprise his role, and in September 2012, it was confirmed that he would do so.

'' By mid-June, Mary Jane was cut from the film, with director Webb explaining it as `` a creative decision to streamline the story and focus on Peter and Gwen and their relationship. '' Filming `` This project had the highest level of detail incorporated into digital environments that we 'd ever done. The human characters were finished to a very high degree. We had to do a very realistic version of Emma Stone. Spider - Man and Gwen are involved in stunts that would have been very dangerous if real. '' -- Jerome Chen - VFX supervisor of Sony Imageworks Major scenes were shot in Rochester. On February 4, 2013, Marc Webb posted on Twitter that principal photography had begun and that the sequel was being shot on 35 mm film in the anamorphic format, instead of being filmed digitally as the preceding film was. Sony revealed this would be the first Spider - Man film to be filmed entirely in New York State, including a car - chase scene that was filmed in Rochester because the speed laws are less restrictive in upstate New York. It became the largest film production ever in New York State. The decision to film in Williamsburg, Brooklyn near the Passover holiday caused some controversy, as critics believed that this was culturally insensitive, and would cause problems with parking. The filming company decided to work with the community and then agreed to adjust its production activities for Passover. The producers had assembled a 200 - person crew for the 10 - day shoot in Rochester, with a total number of 250 local crew members and 150 local extras. The prominent scenes were shot mostly on Main Street of Rochester and were digitally remastered to look like New York City. On June 25, Webb posted on Twitter that filming was completed. Soundstage work was done at Grumman Studios and Gold Coast Studios, both in Bethpage, New York, and at the Marcy Armory in Brooklyn. Special effects The VFX design of Times Square, where the battle of Spider - Man and Electro takes place, took one year. Sony Pictures Imageworks designed the special effects for the film. The digital composition of the film, including the scene where the battle of Spider - Man and Electro in Times Square, took one year to complete. The sets of Times Square were built in Gold Coast Studios with the green screens and most of the scenes were digitally re-designed by computer. The photography and VFX team took over 36,000 photos of the Times Square in order to re-create the location digitally. In addition, the animation team captured over 100 billboards during the photography process. Jamie Foxx as Electro. According to the actor, the make - up part was the most difficult phase during filming. The film was post-converted from 2D to 3D, in part because the production team wanted to shoot 35 mm film. Dan Mindel used Kodak Vision3 500T 5219 and 200T 5213, while the second unit shot day exteriors on Kodak Vision3 50D 5203. During the production, 20 layers of lightning CGI effects were applied to depict Electro. Jamie Foxx was photographed as Electro by KNB EFX team and the skin colors used to show the moods of the character. A total number of 1600 visual effects shots of the film was originally filmed in 2K resolution and then converted into 4K resolution with the help of color grading. To give the visual effects a realistic look, sound designers Addison Teague and Eric Norris and re-recording mixers Paul Massey and David Giammarco mixed the background music using Auro 11.1 cinema sound technology and the film 's soundtrack was remixed using Dolby Atmos, Auro and Dolby 5.1. Post-production The film was mixed in Auro 11.1 and Dolby Atmos in the converted William Holden Theater. The mix for both was completed by Paul Massey and David Giammarco. A mid-credit teaser scene from X-Men : Days of Future Past was added to the film after its London premiere, due to an existing deal between Webb and 20th Century Fox, in which Fox allowed Webb to direct the film if Sony would promote the X-Men film for free. The scene, set during the Vietnam War, shows Mystique ( Jennifer Lawrence ), a rogue mutant, trying to infiltrate a military camp led by William Stryker ( Josh Helman ) in an attempt to recruit fellow mutants Havok ( Lucas Till ) and Toad ( Evan Jonigkeit ). The scene 's inclusion sparked confusion among some viewers in the United Kingdom, who thought it meant an X-Men -- Spider - Man crossover film was being planned, based on how Marvel Studios and Disney use codas within the Marvel Cinematic Universe to promote future films.

The site 's critical consensus reads, `` While the cast is outstanding and the special effects are top - notch, the latest installment of the Spidey saga suffers from an unfocused narrative and an overabundance of characters. '' On Metacritic the film has a score of 53 out of 100, based on 49 critics, indicating `` mixed or average reviews ''. CinemaScore polls conducted during the opening weekend revealed the average grade cinemagoers gave the film was `` B + '' on an A+ to F scale. The main criticisms of the film were that its characters were underdeveloped, its script was crowded, and it was overlong. However, the special effects, chemistry between Stone and Garfield, Dane DeHaan 's performance, the action scenes, and Hans Zimmer 's musical score were met with high praise. Foxx 's portrayal of Max Dillon / Electro was met with mixed reviews. The Los Angeles Times said, `` ( The film is ) overstuffed with plot lines, set pieces and villains, although stars Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone do their best to give the movie heart. '' Tim Robey of The Telegraph said, `` Marc Webb 's Spider - Man sequel is overstuffed with high - voltage villains, but the sparks between Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone save the day ''. Simon Reynolds of Digital Spy said, `` Peter 's past, present and future all intertwine in a sequel that offers bang for your buck. That said you ca n't help ( but ) feel the franchise bean counters at work here thanks to all the ominous foreshadowing and unresolved character arcs. Too many cooks and all that... ''. Kim Newman of Empire scored the film three out of five stars, saying : `` A few too - broad gags aside -- and even these are in the funky spirit of ' 60s Marvel -- this is a satisfying second issue with thrills, heartbreak, gasps, and a perfectly judged slingshot ending. '' Leslie Felperin of The Hollywood Reporter said, `` The eponymous hero hits his super-heroic stride here, as does Andrew Garfield in the role, especially when Spider - Man 's alter ego Peter Parker learns there 's always some fine print in a contract with this many benefits. The plot gets itself tangled up in multiple villain strands, but in the main, this installment is emotionally weightier and more satisfying than its predecessor. '' Guy Lodge of Variety said, `` Redundancy remains a problem, but this overlong superhero sequel gets by on sound, fury and star chemistry. '' Richard Roeper gave the film a B+, stating that `` It 's about 20 minutes too long and it 's overstuffed with too many characters and too many subplots, but there 's enough good stuff in The Amazing Spider - Man 2 to warrant optimism about the next chapter of the franchise. '' A negative review came from Peter Travers of Rolling Stone, giving the film two stars out of four, he said : `` Things go wrong quickly with Amazing 2. Am I the only one who hates the word Amazing to describe a movie that is n't ? Just asking. '' IGN reviewer Daniel Krupa gave 6.9 / 10 and wrote, `` Amazing Spider - Man 2 gets a lot right, yet there 's a constant awkwardness to the machinery of its plot ; you can almost hear the cogs turning. However, what 's worse is that at times it becomes overtly patronising : there are flashing screens and computer voice - overs constantly telling you what something is or what something is doing, just in case the people in the back rows are n't paying attention, which feels at odds with the film 's emotional intelligence. Box Office The Amazing Spider - Man 2 grossed $202.9 million in the United States and Canada and $506.1 million in other countries for a worldwide gross of $709 million.

'' -- Tom Rothman, Chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment Group Further information : Spider - Man in film § Sequels Sony had originally intended the film to launch an expansive film universe around Spider - Man to compete with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In 2013, Sony announced a third Amazing Spider - Man film with a release date of June 10, 2016, which Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci and Jeff Pinkner would return to write, and a fourth film with a release date of May 4, 2018. Additionally, the series was to include spin - off films featuring the Sinister Six and Venom, with Drew Goddard writing and directing Sinister Six and Kurtzman directing a Venom script co-written by himself, Orci, and Ed Solomon. Sinister Six had been planned for a November 11, 2016 release. Additionally, by August 2014, Sony had hired Lisa Joy Nolan to write the script for a 2017 film starring Felicia Hardy / Black Cat. In addition, Sony revealed plans for a spin - off based on Spider - Man 2099 to be released in late 2017. However, between December 2013 and the release of The Amazing Spider - Man 2 in May 2014, Garfield and Webb revealed that while they would both return for the third film, neither was certain of their involvement in the fourth, with Webb adding he would certainly not be directing. Following the mixed critical reviews and franchise - low box office performance of The Amazing Spider - Man 2, the future of the franchise was unclear. By July 2014, Orci had left the third film to work on Star Trek Beyond, The Amazing Spider - Man 3, which would have included Chris Cooper returning as Norman Osborn and focused on Peter recovering from Gwen 's death, was delayed to an unspecified date in 2018, and The Amazing Spider - Man 4 was moved to a later, unknown date. Following the 2014 Sony Pictures Entertainment hack, Sony was revealed to have been in talks to have Sam Raimi return to the franchise to direct a new trilogy for the character and was in discussion with Marvel Studios about including Spider - Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Captain America : Civil War. Marvel reportedly was unhappy with some of the terms of the proposed arrangement, including the film rights staying with Sony, and both talks allegedly ceased. A deal between studios that allows Spider - Man to be in the Marvel Cinematic Universe was reached. By March 2016, Sony was moving forward with the standalone Venom film with Dante Harper writing the script, Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach producing and Tom Hardy as the titular character ; it will not be related to the Spider - Man film franchise or the MCU 's Spider - Man. Marvel Cinematic Universe In February 2015, Sony and Marvel Studios announced that a new iteration of Spider - Man would appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with the character appearing in Captain America : Civil War before Sony released a standalone film titled Spider - Man : Homecoming produced by Kevin Feige and Amy Pascal on July 7, 2017. Following this announcement, The Amazing Spider - Man 3 was cancelled. Sony Pictures will continue to finance, distribute, own and have final creative control of the Spider - Man films. Marvel Studios and Sony will explore opportunities to integrate other characters of the MCU into future Spider - Man films. Tom Holland stars as the new Spider - Man.
