Sony revealed news of a third new instalment on the film’s Facebook page earlier this week. A Facebook post on Tuesday said:

“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.”

The Amazing Spider-Man is the fourth Spider-Man film, and a reboot for the franchise, after three films directed by Sam Raimi.ImageImage
