According to Deadline, it looks as though Spider-Man 2 (or whatever they end up calling it) will kick off the summer 2014 moviegoing season by launching on May 2nd.
"'I think it speaks volumes about our confidence in what we are seeing on the new film and our desire to move quickly on the next installment,' a Sony exec tells me about the reboot of its biggest superhero franchise from Marvel," writes Deadline.
The seasons of the superheroes continues. Next year we get Spidey, Batman and The Avengers, while summer 2013 will see the release of Man of Steel and likely Thor 2 and Iron Man 3. At this point it's unclear who else will be joining the web-slinger in 2014, though one would imagine Captain America 2 a possibility.
