For those of you unaware, while The Amazing Spider-man 2 hits theaters May 2, the studio already has the third and fourth installments lined up. Although director Marc Webb confirmed he will return for the third film (slated to begin shooting next year), the director confirmed with "The Daily Beast" that he will not be back for the fourth movie.
Webb will not forsake all things Spidey however. The director stresses he wants to remain as a consultant on the film. He also states that a certain "creature of the night" could make a brief appearance in the second film. Most fans speculate this means Morbius the living vampire will show up. With the Rhino, the Green Goblin, and Electro already to set to appear in the followup to the 2012 hit, there certainly appears to be a glut of villains permeating the NYC landscape. However, higher ups behind the Spidey franchise are playing the long game here so maybe they know what they are doing.
Personally I couldn't care less that Webb will be involved. I thought the first film was severely overrated and aside from the local Rochester connection, I have no interest in seeing this film. For franchises as a whole it's nice to see new blood enter the fray though. Even though I liked Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, it would have been interesting to have another director take a crack at it other than Steven Spielberg.
The Amazing Spider-man 2 hits theaters May 2, with the third and fourth installments coming June 10, 2016, and May 4, 2018 respectively.
