KARACHI: After spelling its magic on screen the “The Amazing Spider-Man” director Marc Webb has started shooting its sequel “The Amazing Spider-Man 2”.

According to reports, this time the love interest of Peter Parker, Mary Jane, will be played by Shailene Woodley who wasn’t included in the first film of the series.

The director recently announced via a tweet that Harry Osborne’s role (best friend of Parker) is being played by Dane DeHaan (Chronicles), which is also the new entrant in the upcoming sequel.

Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone, the real life couple, will again reprise their roles as Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy, respectively. However, Jamie Foxx will be seen as Electro, an enemy whose reach knows no boundaries.

According to Marvel Comics, Gwen was originally the first true love of Peter Parker before he developed deep feelings for Mary Jane Watson. The Green Goblin causes Spiderman to accidentally kill Gwen in the comic. Both the decision to kill Gwen and the method in which Marvel implemented it, remain controversial among fans and after the death of Gwen, apparently, Peter falls in love with Mary Jane.

The Amazing Spider Man 2 is scheduled to be released on May 2, 2014.
