The Amazing Spider-Man will spawn at least two sequels, if business keeps going the way it is - both worldwide and at the North American box-office.
Sony Pictures said via the film's Facebook Page, "The Amazing Spider-Man' is the first instalment in a movie trilogy that will explore how our fave hero's journey was shaped by the disappearance of his parents." You'd assume that the cast would therefore all be locked into details to return, with Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield's star status sure to rise in the meantime. Helmer Marc Webb has been cautious about returning, but he may have just been waiting for the grosses to come in before verbally committing to the idea of a sequel.
The film will gross somewhere between $130 - $150 million by Monday (domestically) and is out in Irish cinemas now.
