Writer Roberto Orci has revealed new details about "The Amazing Spider-Man 2."
During an interview with IGN, Orci stated that Oscorp would be a central figure in the "Spider-Man" franchise and the upcoming films.
"Oscorp plays an important part in how our villains get created, obviously, in the first one. So because Peter becoming Spider-Man came out of that, rather than saying, 'And then this alien came from space,' or whatever, they're doing human-hybrid, weird stuff at Oscorp. That's where Gwen Stacy works anyway as well. So the idea of it representing the good and the bad of science, that it can do great things, but it can also mess you up and do weird things and transform people -- as all science can be used for good or bad. So it's nice to have that organizing principal, but it wasn't like, 'We must keep it at Oscorp.' It flowed naturally from the story development," said Orci.
The writer also stated that it has been a challenge to introduce a number of characters and still keep the focus on Peter Parker.
"The way we do it is to make sure that their presence is based on a character thing that necessary for the theme of the movie. You can't just throw somebody in there to show up and make it harder on Spider-Man. The stories that we have for these guys, they're tragic villains, you're going to find out, a little bit. It's not as simple as 'Evil dude shows up.' Jamie Foxx has some very touching scenes. As long as I can describe their stories and character terms, then I feel like it's okay. If you can't, then you know you're having them crash-land out of nowhere, and what's that about?" he said.
"The Amazing Spider-Man 2" stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Dane Dehaan, and Chris Cooper. The new film will be released on May 2, 2014 by Sony/Columbia Pictures.
