Sony had been in a bit of a pickle around 2010, as the fourth Raimi movie has stalled and the hard 5-year time limit before the Spider-Man movie rights would revert to Marvel. As such, they decided to reboot the Spider-Man movie franchise. (500) Days of Summer director Marc Webb had been tasked with directing this new franchise.

Andrew Garfield was the actor tapped up by Sony to be the new web-slinger as they sought to reboot the classic Raimi trilogy. Andrew Garfield had come with some pedigree after his star-making turn as Eduardo Savarin in The Social Network, so there was definitely some hype behind this move. With further news that Peter Parker would be using mechanical web-shooters and that Emma Stone would be playing Gwen Stacy, there was hope this would be more comic accurate iteration than the acclaimed Raimi trilogy.

The Amazing Spider-Man released in 2012 and actually garnered decent reviews (shocking I know!) as critics praised the more witty Spider-Man, Webb's emotionally involving take and especially the better chemistry between its leads. In the box office, The Amazing Spider-Man had grossed $757.9 million against a $230 million budget. As such, a sequel was quickly green lit.
