"The Amazing Spider-Man 2 has released a full synopsis. Sony Pictures has also released a new cast list for Marc Webb&amp;#039;s 2014 sequel.  &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;ve always known that Spider-Man&amp;#039;s most important battle has been within himself: the struggle between the ordinary obligations of Peter Parker and the extraordinary responsibilities of Spider-Man,&amp;quot; said Sony. &amp;quot;But in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Peter Parker finds that a greater conflict lies ahead. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s great to be Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield). For Peter Parker, there&amp;#039;s no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen (Emma Stone). &amp;quot;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. &amp;quot;With the emergence of Electro (Jamie Foxx), Peter must confront a foe far more powerful than he. And as his old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, Peter comes to realise that all of his enemies have one thing in common: OsCorp.&amp;quot;  The updated cast list names Garfield, Stone, Foxx, DeHaan, Campbell Scott, Embeth Davidtz, Colm Feore, Paul Giamatti and Sally Field. Chris Cooper - who signed on to play Norman Osborn - is absent from the new list, leading to speculation that his role might have been put off for a later film. The same move was made with Mary Jane Watson, who was to be played by Shailene Woodley. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 will be released in the UK on April 18, 2014 and May 2, 2014 in the US.
