The basic story follows Peter Parker dealing with his relationship problems, crime-fighting job, and (which will probably be a trend for the series) discovering yet more secrets about his mysterious past.
Production photos were released of Paul Giamatti before his transformation into the Rhino in an action sequence. The Spider-Man suit appears to be updated (no more gold eyes or swirls on the arms), and there's a cameo of the Daily Bugle, like in the first film. For some reason, Denis Leary is listed as making a return as George Stacey, who was killed in the first film. Chris Cooper is playing Norman Osborne, and will probably become the Green Goblin. Wait a second, Electro? Rhino? Green Goblin? A Sinister Six meeting , perhaps? Electro and Green Goblin will be more similar to the Ultimates versions than the mainstream/classic looks of the characters, which probably means Goblin will resemble a demon more than a goblin, possibly through some mutation. Felicity Jones and Colm Feore, among others, have been announced as cast members, and Jones said she will play a villain, leading fans to speculate she may play Felicia Harmon, or Black Cat. Stan Lee will make another cameo, as usual. I am actually pretty excited for this sequel and the inevitable following sequels, despite knowing they will not top the original trilogy starring Tobey Maguire. I am also disappointed this series will not have Peter working at the Daily Bugle, as this focuses more on his high school years. I always like to think of different versions of the same story almost like they exist in a multiverse, each version is just an alternate reality (kind of like the Mortal Kombat reboot), so I think of this series as a more comic book-y, sci-fi-ish alternate version of Peter's high school years in the previous films, if that makes sense. Whatever, I'd love to hear other peoples thoughts on the subject, so comment below if you wish!
