The Amazing Spider-man 2 may not arrive in cinemas until May 2nd next year, but Sony obviously has a lot of confidence in it – as well as their ability to turn it into an on-going story – as they’ve already set release dates for The Amazing Spider-man 3 & 4.
Jeff Blake, Chairman, Worldwide Marketing and Distribution for Sony Pictures, announced that the next two films in the story of Peter Parker will be released on June 10, 2016, and on May 4, 2018, respectively. That’ll certainly keep Andrew Garfield busy.
Commenting on the announcement, Blake said, “Spider-Man is our most important, most successful, and most beloved franchise, so we’re thrilled that we are in a position to lock in these prime release dates over the next five years.”
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is directed by Marc Webb from a screenplay by Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci & Jeff Pinkner, with a previous draft by James Vanderbilt. It’s not known if any of them are working on the new sequels, although it is believed Vanderbilt was originally hired with a plan for a series of Spidey film.

It’s official, shooting is underway on The Amazing Spider-man 2, and to mark that an official synopsis has been released, along with the news Colm Feore has joined the cast. There’s also the mysterious image below, which teases some sort of new Oscorp technology.
Paul Giamatti may not be the first person you’d think of to play a villain called The Rhino, but Sony and director Marc Webb obviously think differently, as they’ve got the actor in talks to play that part in The Amazing Spider-man 2. Felicity Jones (Like Crazy) is also in negotiations for an unspecified role, according to 
While we knew Andrew Garfield would almost definitely be back for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (as he signed a multi-film contract), there’s been some uncertainty over whether director Marc Webb would be back. However now it’s been confirmed to return for web-slinging follow-up.
Several months ago Sony announced that they were already working on a sequel to The Amazing Spider-man, and now, with the reboot making mega-bucks around the globe, they’ve confirmed this will be the first part of a trilogy.
