The Amazing Spider-Man 2 'Rise of Electro' Trailer Released

By our count, there's only around two minutes of the superhero sequel which we HAVEN'T seen now!
Sony Pictures have today released the final (we hope) theatrical trailer for their Summer of Film superhero blockbuster The Amazing Spider-Man 2. The sequel to 2012's The Amazing Spider-Man takes Andrew Garfield's iconic web-slinger into his most dangerous territory yet with the emergence of Paul Giamatti's Rhino, Dane DeHaan's Green Goblin and worst of all Jamie Foxx's Electro onto the streets of New York City.

Titled Rise of Electro, this 3-minute preview (below) predictably emphasises the follow-up's central antagonist. Indeed, in some regions the film goes by the title The Amazing Spider-Man 2: Rise of Electro, as if the overly generous marketing campaign hadn't already placed Foxx's incarnation of the tragic villain at the centre of its narrative. If we have any genuine concerns at present, they're mainly based around the aforementioned promotional onslaught's reluctance to hold back many of the motion picture's major setpieces, bar the inevitable adaptation of the classic Death of Gwen Stacy comic-book storyline. Perhaps Sony have a few big shocks in store for the movie's climax, but right now, it seems as if their approach will need to be adjusted in terms of how forthcoming they are regarding The Amazing Spider-Man 3, Venom, Sinister Six and The Amazing Spider-Man 4 in years to come...

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 crawls into UK cinemas nationwide on April 18th.
