We already knew that a sequel was in the works, and considering the strong opening this week for the Marc Webb-directed reboot, it should come as little surprise that Sony has now announced The Amazing Spider-Man as the first installment of a new trilogy based around Marvel's friendly neighborhood wall-crawler. Via the official TASM Facebook page today...
"It's finally here! The Amazing Spider-Man is the first installment in a movie trilogy that will explore how our fave hero's journey was shaped by the disappearance of his parents."
Although Marc Webb is yet to sign on for the sequel, TASM scribe James Vanderbilt's script for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is currently being rewritten by Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, the screenwriting duo behind the likes of Transformers, Star Trek, Cowboys & Aliens and the upcoming Van Helsing reboot.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is set to swing into cinemas in 2014 with Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone reprising their roles as Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy.
