Sony Confirms 'The Amazing Spider-Man' Is Going To Be A Trilogy!

The Amazing Spider-Man hit cinemas this week (July 3rd) but Sony Pictures have revealed that there's not one, but two more movies of the series on the way! 

Sony stated: "The Amazing Spider-Man is the first installment in a movie trilogy that will explore how our fave hero's journey was shaped by the disappearance of his parents."

The Amazing Spider-Man, featuring British actor Andrew Garfield and the wonderful Emma Stone, was one of the summer's most anticipated films and its debut set a US box office record for a Tuesday opening of $35 million. 

With the recent success of The Avengers along with confirmations of an Avengers 2, Iron Man 3, Thor 2 and Captain America 2 and Batman: The Dark Knight Rises coming up later in the month, it seems that superheroes are taking over the industry!

I saw The Amazing Spider-Man a couple of days ago and it is truly awesome, so make sure you get out there and watch it! Andrew, Emma and the rest of the cast do an amazing job.

I can't wait for the other two movies! The next film is vaguely planned for May 2014.

What do you think? Have you seen The Amazing Spider-Man yet?
