The Amazing Spider-Man 2 continues the story of Peter Parker at a time when his life has become more demanding than ever. As Spider-Man, he spends his days relentlessly chasing down criminals and protecting New York City, while struggling to balance his responsibilities with his personal life. At the same time, he tries to devote time to his great love, Gwen, even as his high school graduation looms on the horizon.

Haunted by the promise he made to Gwen’s father—to keep her safe by staying away—Peter does everything he can to honor his word. However, the sudden emergence of the powerful villain Electro, combined with the unexpected return of his old friend Harry Osborn, makes keeping that promise increasingly difficult. The threats Peter faces are no longer limited to masked enemies, but extend deeply into his emotional world.
