What happens

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (internationally titled as The Amazing Spider-Man 2: Rise of Electro) is a 2014 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character Spider-Man. The sequel to The Amazing Spider-Man (2012), it was directed by Marc Webb and written by Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci, and Jeff Pinkner from a story by Kurtzman, Orci, Pinkner and James Vanderbilt. Andrew Garfield stars as Peter Parker / Spider-Man, alongside Emma Stone, Jamie Foxx, Dane DeHaan, Campbell Scott, Embeth Davidtz, Colm Feore, Paul Giamatti and Sally Field. In the film, Peter tries to protect his girlfriend, Gwen Stacy, as he investigates his parents' death while also encountering the supervillain Electro and his childhood friend Harry Osborn. Development of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 began after the success of The Amazing Spider-Man. DeHaan, Giamatti, Felicity Jones, and Chris Cooper were cast between December 2012 and February 2013. Filming took place in New York City from February to June 2013. The film was released in 2D, 3D, RealD 3D, and IMAX 3D on May 2, 2014 in the United States by Sony Pictures Releasing through its Columbia Pictures label, with two international premieres being held between March 31 and April 10 of that year. The film grossed $717 million worldwide, making it the ninth-highest-grossing film of 2014. The Amazing Spider-Man film series was originally intended to continue with at least two more sequels, as well as several spin-off films featuring other characters. In February 2015, Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios initiated a deal to share the Spider-Man film rights and reboot the character within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), cancelling future projects in the Amazing Spider-Man series. Tom Holland succeeded Garfield as Peter Parker / Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War (2016) before leading a new series of Spider-Man films set in the MCU, beginning with Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017). Both Garfield and Foxx reprised their roles in Holland's third film, Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021), which linked the Amazing Spider-Man films to the MCU using the concept of the multiverse.
