About The Amazing Spider-Man

As you’re probably already aware, three actors have so far put on the legendary red and blue suit of Spider-Man (Hi, Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland!).

With every reboot, SpiderMan films have been just as awesome as the previous one. OG Spider-Man Maguire transferred his crown (or web shooters, rather) to Garfield, who played the role of Peter Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man. 

Directed by Marc Webb from a screenplay by James Vanderbilt, Alvin Sargent, and Steve Kloves, the movie tells the origin story of Peter Parker (Garfield), a high school student who is bitten by a genetically altered spider and gains superhuman powers. He uses his powers to fight crime and save the city from the Lizard, a scientist who has been transformed into a mysterious reptilian foe.

As a teenager, Parker (Garfield), a.k.a. Spider-Man, tries to sort out who he really is and exactly what his feelings are for his high school crush, Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone) after he is abandoned by his parents and raised by his Aunt May (Sally Field) and Uncle Ben (Martin Sheen).

When Peter finds a mysterious briefcase that belongs to his father (Campbell Scott), he pursues a quest to solve his parents’ disappearance. His search for answers brings him to Oscorp and the lab of Dr. Curt Connors (Rhys Ifans), setting him on a collision course with Connors’ alter ego, the Lizard.

Will The Amazing Spider-Man 3 happen?

Andrew Garfield was supposed to reprise his role in a third and fourth The Amazing Spider-Man films, but the entire franchise was effectively canceled after Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios reached a deal in 2015 allowing Spider-Man to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Though The Amazing Spider-Man 3 didn’t materialize, plans for the project were actually promising.

Supposedly set to be released on June 10, 2016, The Amazing Spider-Man 3 was to be directed by Marc Webb from a screenplay by Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci, and Jeff Pinkner. The film would have focused on Peter Parker (Garfield) recovering from the death of Gwen Stacy (Stone) death and would have featured the return of Norman Osborn (Chris Cooper). Though Norman seemingly died from a genetic disease, a deleted post-credits scene from The Amazing Spider-Man 2 revealed that Oscorp Industries was keeping his head on ice.

Another deleted scene from The Amazing Spider-Man 2 suggested that The Amazing Spider-Man 3 would have also brought Richard Parker (Campbell Scott), Peter’s scientist father, back from the dead.

Denis Leary, who played Gwen’s dad, Captain George Stacy, in the franchise, said that the supposed third film was about resurrecting those who had died. “Part of the discussion was that possibly in 3, there was this idea, at one point, Spider-Man would be able to take this formula and regenerate the people in his life that had died,” Leary revealed to IGN back in 2015. “So there was this discussion that Captain Stacy would come back even bigger in episode 3.”

While The Amazing Spider-Man 3 had long been canceled, there have been calls for Sony to revive the movie after Garfield reprised his version of Spider-Man in the 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, starring Tom Holland in the title role.

Following the success of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Garfield expressed interest in reprising his role as Peter Parker for another Spider-Man film. Holland later expressed support for Garfield to reprise the role in a potential third film.

“I would love to see The Amazing Spider-Man 3,” Holland told ComicBook.com in February 2022. “I think what was so wonderful was how Andrew was able to kind of make amends with the character and the studio, you know, to kind of win the general public back.”

Reviving The Amazing Spider-Man 3 is a great option for Sony, especially after Holland shared that he is not sure if he will ever get to play Peter Parker again after Spider-Man: No Way Home.
