" Marc Webb has hinted that the fourth movie in his Amazing Spider-Man series could feature more than one superhero.  A further two movies have been confirmed to follow 2014&amp;#039;s The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and in an interview with Crave Online, director Webb explained why four films are being planned rather than a trilogy.    &amp;quot;This was conceived of as a trilogy, so there was a defined architecture to the story we were telling and we had sort of a rough outline of what was going to happen,&amp;quot; Webb said. &amp;quot;I think [for] the fourth movie, what we&amp;#039;ve discovered is there are so many ancillary characters, that have enormous, cinematic potential that there may be other ways to exploit those characters, in a way that is exciting and fun and worthwhile. It might not just be a Spider-Man movie.&amp;quot; The Amazing Spider-Man 2 will feature several new characters from the Spider-Man universe, including Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan) and Electro (Jamie Foxx).  It was rumoured earlier this year that Sony Pictures could sell the rights to Spider-Man to Marvel Studios, thus enabling Andrew Garfield&amp;#039;s Peter Parker to be included in upcoming Avengers movies, but the reports were quashed soon before the announcement of Webb&amp;#039;s third and fourth films.  Speaking at a panel for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 at San Diego Comic-Con last weekend, Garfield reiterated his desire for Spider-Man to be seen alongside The Avengers on screen, even as he acknowledged that he &amp;quot;[wasn&amp;#039;t] meant to say that&amp;quot;.  &amp;amp;gt; Comic-Con 2013: &amp;#039;The Amazing Spider-Man 2&amp;#039; panel recap&amp;amp;gt; Andrew Garfield: &amp;#039;Tobey Maguire will always be Spider-Man&amp;#039; The Amazing Spider-Man 2 will be released on April 18, 2014 in the UK, and May 2, 2014 in the US.
