Anyone have a feeling that the Rhino isn't going to be a major villain, just an intro fight scene? I don't see how they can make him a compelling villain.

I thought that would be cool too, but it would probably be a nightmare to figure out the order the films go in...

Agreed. I'm willing to bet that's why they chose to go with an easier route, though I do also like what Marvel's doing with their subtitled sequels to other franchises. I think that makes it easier to carry those particular franchises into Phase 2, Phase 3, Phase 4 and beyond. This is why there is a small part of me that wishes Marvel had the rights to Spidey, but then I've always preferred Spider-Man on his own since that's an important part of his character. If he were to team up with anyone, I'd want it to be either Daredevil or Human Torch.

Anyway, Sony also issued a press release with a little more detail on the plot:

Quote:

New York, February 5, 2013 – Columbia Pictures announced today that filming has begun on The Amazing Spider-Man™ 2 in New York. The film is the first in the history of the franchise that will be filmed entirely in New York City and New York State.
The sequel to last year’s critical and box office hit The Amazing Spider-Man, the film stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Jamie Foxx, Shailene Woodley, Dane DeHaan, Colm Feore, Paul Giamatti, and Sally Field.
In The Amazing Spider-Man™ 2, for Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield), life is busy – between taking out the bad guys as Spider-Man and spending time with the person he loves, Gwen (Emma Stone), high school graduation can’t come quickly enough. Peter hasn’t forgotten about the promise he made to Gwen’s father to protect her by staying away – but that’s a promise he just can’t keep. Things will change for Peter when a new villain, Electro (Jamie Foxx), emerges, an old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, and Peter uncovers new clues about his past.
The film is directed by Marc Webb from a screenplay by Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci & Jeff Pinkner, with a previous draft by James Vanderbilt, and based on the Marvel Comic Book by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach are the producers.
The film’s key behind-the-scenes team includes director of photography Dan Mindel, production designer Mark Friedberg, editors Pietro Scalia and Elliot Graham, and costume designer Deborah L. Scott.
The latest chapter in the Spider-Man story is set for release in 3D on May 2, 2014.

I'm interested in Jeff Pinkner's involvement.

Well, this could definitely be interesting to those who have read the Ultimate comics.

Nice. Was hoping you'd say Carnage though, haha.

I was kind of hoping it'd go down that route, but not expecting it.

If they do have black-suit Spider-Man then they better get the suit right unlike in Spider-Man 3. That pissed me off.

I'd argue he's just showing off slight changes in costume. I don't think we are going black so soon.

[deanster321]

It doesn't look like a mask, just an eye on top of some black fabric that's probably laid out on a table or something.

[sevinw0rds]

Well, I absolutely love it.
