The Amazing Spider-Man to become a trilogy
After a long wait, Marc Webb’s Amazing Spider Man’s is finally here! Here’s a look at what the Andrew Garfield-Emma Stone starrer is all about.
After director Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy hit screens in 2002, ’04 and ’07, starring Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst, the studio retired that Spidey and now the rebooted version of the story, The Amazing Spider-Man, will follow the same pattern, it was revealed on Thursday, as the film opened
in countries around the world.
The fourth installment in the franchise, starring Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone, is to continue to weave its web for another two films, according to Sony Pictures on the film’s Facebook page.
Here’s a timeline showing how Spider-Man became a hit, per The Hollywood Reporter:
