LONDON March 13, 2014 Sony Pictures Releasing (UK) today announced that the World Premiere of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is set to take place in London on Thursday April 10th , ahead of its nationwide release in cinemas across the UK and Ireland on April 18th.
The Odeon Cinema in Leicester Square will play host to the spectacular World Premiere event. The cast and filmmakers of the highly anticipated new movie will swing into town to lead a glittering array of star guests walking the red carpet: Spider-Man himself, British star Andrew Garfield, will be joined by a stellar line up of fellow cast members, including Emma Stone (Gwen Stacy), Jamie Foxx (Electro), and Dane DeHaan (Harry Osborn), alongside director Marc Webb and producers Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach.
A UK World Premiere will be a first for the nation’s favourite web-slinging Super Hero – never before has London hosted the global launch for a Spider-Man movie.
Garfield said, “I’m delighted to see the World Premiere of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 take place in my home town. I can’t wait to present this movie to audiences across the UK.”
In addition to the London Leicester Square Premiere event, fans across the UK and Ireland will have the chance to be part of this Amazing occasion as The Amazing Spider-Man 2 will also be shown simultaneously at 20 regional premieres.
In The Amazing Spider-Man™ 2, for Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield), life is busy – between taking out the bad guys as Spider-Man and spending time with the person he loves, Gwen (Emma Stone), high school graduation can’t come quickly enough. Peter hasn’t forgotten about the promise he made to Gwen’s father to protect her by staying away – but that’s a promise he just can’t keep. Things will change for Peter when a new villain, Electro (Jamie Foxx), emerges, an old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, and Peter uncovers new clues about his past.
