In what should be joyous (and expected) news for many a web-head, Sony Pictures has announced that the highly anticipated wallcrawling sequel The Amazing Spider-Man 2 will be swinging into IMAX and IMAX 3D screens upon its release. Announced alongside IMAX Corporation, the news promises to offer viewers the chance to see the latest Spider-Man movie in the dimensonial format of their choice.
Also revealed today in The New York Daily News is a confirmation that the web-slinger will appear in Times Square for News Year’s Eve this December. As countless revelers gather to celebrate annual ball drop, they will be treated on giant TV screens (along with viewers at home) to new footage from The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 finds Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) fighting for his life against Oscorp’s newest freaks, including Electro (Jamie Foxx) and Rhino (Paul Giamatti), all while trying to balance a high school romance with Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone). Yet, when an old friend named Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan) comes back into his life, the secrets of Norman Osborn (Chris Cooper) and its villainous past reach closer to home than even Spidey can realize. Worse still, they may expand into his future.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 opens May 2, 2014.
