Our editors discussed the missing story surrounding Norman Osborn (Chris Cooper) on a recent episode of the SR Underground Podcast, but really, any movie fan likely found it suspicious that an actor of Cooper's caliber would be called on for a single scene.Īs it turns out, the explanation is a simple one: he wasn't. While the sequel featured some of that story in its opening montage, it seemed just as many implied story beats and twists were ignored the second time around.


Now that more details surrounding the film's original post-credits scene have come out, it's obvious Sony cut back on the promises being made.įan skepticism was already at a significant level after the first Amazing Spider-Man did little to tell "the untold story" that its trailers and marketing promised. Those who saw the film know that in place of a mid or post-credits teaser for future stories came a scene from X-Men: Days of Future Past - a decision made even more unclear by the seemingly vast array of plot threads left after the film's climax. It seems that even after Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man 2 gave up all of its secrets to fans hungry to know more about the future of the franchise (or its larger movie universe), it still has some surprises left to give.
