THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2

The world’s most popular web-slinger returns when THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2™ arrives on 2-disc Blu-ray™ 3D, Blu-ray and DVD September 1 from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone reprise their iconic roles as Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy, who face their most dangerous adversaries yet.

But being Spider-Man comes at a price: only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New Yorkers from the formidable villains that threaten the city. With the emergence of Electro (Academy Award® winner Jamie Foxx, Best Actor, Ray, 2004), Spider-Man faces his greatest battle yet.

Marc Webb returns to direct THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2™, which also stars Dane DeHaan as Harry Osborn (a.k.a The Green Goblin) with Academy Award® nominee Paul Giamatti (Best Supporting Actor, Cinderella Man, 2006) as Aleksei Sytsevich (a.k.a. The Rhino), and two-time Academy Award® winner Sally Field (Best Actress: Norma Rae, 1979; Places in the Heart, 1984) as Aunt May.
