2 Years since the death of Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone), Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) continues to struggle through the grief of her loss, but finds solace from new friends Mary Jane Watson (Shailene Woodley) and Eddie Brock (Finn Wittrock), as well as a full-time job at The Daily Bugle under cantankerous newsman J. Jonah Jameson (J.K. Simmons). Meanwhile, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), his once best friend-now-hated foe, now plots vengeance from behind bars by enlisting the help of disgraced film technician Quentin Beck (Zachary Quinto) now a orb-domed "sorceror" dubbed Mysterio looking to replace him as New York's champion through force, Alexsei Sytsevich (Paul Giamatti) a rhino-armored thug seeking payback, and Sergei Kravinoff (Shane West), a familiar bounty hunter out for his blood. And while faced with these same villains from every side, Peter's worst enemy is the closest, in the form of an extraterrestrial symbiote that bonds to him, granting him a new black costume that bolsters his already amazing powers, but at the cost of feeding on his fragile emotional state and turning him vengeful and violent, putting his status as New York's friendly-neighborhood hero at risk.
