There will be no Gwen-Peter-Mary Jane love triangleĪt the time we were on set (early June) we didn’t yet know that Mary Jane’s character had been shunted from the movie. I probably need to be more physical in general.” 7. “I don’t enjoy physical activity all that much. When asked about these scenes during our brief chat with her, she seemed rather ambivalent about the physical aspects of superhero filmmaking. A lot more in this film than the last one”). Emma Stone will have more stunts and fights to do in this film, which she’s not that enthusiastic aboutĪccording to Andy Armstrong, Gwen Stacy will lots more physical stuff to do in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (“She has quite a bit action to do in this one.

There are big action sequences that would fit in a James Bond movie or a Bourne movie they’re big, modern action movie scenes.” 6. “There’s a big vehicle chase, there’s a couple of fights without Spider-Man involved. “It’s the kind of action you don’t normally see in a Spider-Man movie as well,” Armstrong said. But according to stunt coordinator Andy Armstrong, we’ll also be in for a car chase straight out of a Bourne or Bond movie. There’s going to be a Bond-style car chaseĪs you’d expect from any sequel, Amazing Spider-Man 2 promises to throw more outlandish action on the screen than its predecessor did. If I can defeat these people by not touching them, and just let them beat the crap out of themselves, that is brilliant I’ve been into Bugs Bunny – I’ve got every box set, and he’s had a very specific impact on certain sequences of the film.” 5. Bugs Bunny would be a good example of that. “I read about the trickster archetype, and what he does is uses his enemy’s weaknesses against themselves. Andrew Garfield took inspiration from Charlie Chaplin and Bugs Bunny “In Spider-Man, there’s always that fun, playful wit at work, and I wanted to give him as many opportunities as possible to express that.”ĭid we mention it’ll also be funny? 4. “One of the things I’m doing in this movie is embracing the lunacy.,” says Webb. He’s always so funny and self-deprecating.” “We felt the need and the desire to really go to the tone of Spider-Man. “It’s also funny,” agrees producer Matt Tolmach, casually dropping that familiar word into the discussion again. Remember the scene in The Amazing Spider-Man in the subway carriage? The sequel will have more physical comedy moments like that, we’re told.
If there was one word that kept surfacing throughout our day on the Spidey set, it was “funny”. I don’t really give a fuck about this place, and fuck all of the people. How am I going to make it up to her?’ Then I was thinking, ‘I’m graduating. “I just thought, ‘I just missed my girlfriend’s valedictorian speech. “I didn’t know I was going to do it,” Andrew Garfield revealed. The kiss, we later learned, was initially improvised. Parker comes skidding around the corner of the stage just in time to collect his diploma, and then sweeps up Gwen to give her a big kiss in front of her classmates. Although not necessarily a key scene in the movie, it’s an example, perhaps, of the sequel’s energy and humour. With The Amazing Spider-Man 2, that’s changing for the first time – and while we haven’t been able to discover the film’s specific budget, Sony have clearly spared no expense in filming entirely in this infamously pricey yet iconic city.Īs Gwen Stacy gives a heartfelt valedictorian speech about time being precious – words that may foreshadow events later in the film – Peter swoops in from elsewhere in the city, and hurriedly switches his Spider-Man suit for his graduation outfit.
