According to the film's official synopsis, for Peter Parker, life is busy -- between taking out the bad guys as Spider-Man and spending time with the person he loves, Gwen, 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, emerges, an old friend, Harry Osborn, returns, and Peter uncovers new clues about his past.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2, directed by Marc Webb and written by Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci & Jeff Pinkner, is set for release in 3D on May 2, 2014.
