In the weeks and months since the folks at Sony Pictures began launching their promotional campaign for the upcoming release of The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Marvel fans have gotten to know a little more about a few of the film’s characters, particularly that of Daily Bugle editor-in-chief J. Jonah Jameson whose latest diatribe against our favorite webslinger is now available online. Furthermore, fans now have confirmation that actor B.J. Novak has been revealed for the role of Alistair Smythee, whose son, Spencer, inherits his father’s inventions and experiments on himself to become “The Ultimate Spider Slayer” with one obvious mission in mind.
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.
