Peter Parker, Spider Man has no one and nothing. Everyone he loves forgets who he is including MJ and Ned his best friends. He has created a new suit and is known as the Friendly Neighborhood Spider Man but as Peter Parker, he needs money so he signs up for the Daily Bugle and gets the Job. He meets Harry Osborn and they become close friends. Everything is Ok until he finds out Ned is missing and hasn’t been seen for days then the Vicious Hobgoblin who’s outfit is based on Norman Osborn (2002) outfit except silver. Peter Parker fights him and finds out it’s Ned under there under the control of a Secret Villain. Since he’s still sort of good he doesn’t kill anybody but does cause a lot of damage. They fight and then memories start coming in and MJ is seen remembering and then running to Peter Ned regains control and is ok and MJ and Ned remember him then Ned reveals that the secret villain is Chameleon and the movie ends. In a mid credit scene it sees venom lurking around teasing part 5 when he’ll be black suit Spider-Man while fighting the main villain Chameleon. In the post credit scene we see Norman Osborn developing performance enhancers which in part 5 he will drink and transform into the green goblin so Spider-Man has to fight Green Goblin (His Universe) and Chameleon but he’ll have the black suit as mentioned earlier.
