Talking on RTE Television's 'The Late Late Show' earlier today, Martin Sheen has confirmed that he will return as 'Uncle Ben' in Marc Webb's sequel to The Amazing Spider-Man. "They've called me back, I don't know what the part is gonna be, but I'm going to be 'Uncle Ben' once again in Spider-Man next year. We shoot it in February," the actor confirmed. As Peter Parker's father figure met his demise in the first instalment of the franchise earlier this year, it's safe to assume that we will see the character return in either a flashback or dream sequence. What do you guys make of this news? Be sure to sound off with your thoughts in the usual place!

STARRING:

Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker/Spider-Man
Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy
Shailene Woodley as Mary Jane Watson
Jamie Foxx as Max Dillon/Electro
Sally Fields as Aunt May

RELEASE DATE: May 2nd, 2014.
