That's to say, fewer people will be getting fatter paychecks for the third and fourth Amazing Spider-Man movies, and thus Sony will be less inclined to abandon ship over the rising cost (assuming there's no sudden drop in the box office returns for these films).

THE AMAZING SPIDER MAN 2 RELEASE DATE MOVIE
Similarly, Amazing Spider-Man 1 & 2 director Marc Webb will - in all likelihood - not be working on the third and fourth installments, given that he still needs to fulfill his obligations to direct a movie or two for Fox Searchlight (that almost prevented him from helming the Spidey sequel). However, that may not be so much an issue with the Amazing Spider-Man films, in part because Garfield's female costar, Emma Stone, will probably be done playing Gwen Stacy at that point ( the odds are against the character making it out of Amazing Spider-Man 2 alive). The rising salaries for the principle players on the previous Spider-Man movie trilogy - which includes stars Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst - were contributing factors in Sony's decision to start the superhero franchise over, rather than move ahead with Spider-Man 4 (as was the original plan). Hence, as it now stands, Amazing Spider-Man 2 will kick-off the Summer Movie Season (which starts in May) next year, followed by Amazing Spider-Man 3 on June 10th, 2016 and Amazing Spider-Man 4 on May 4th, 2018. Amazon and GameStop list the game as having a July 1 release date, and a GameStop employee told IGN that.

Sony is already looking well-ahead into the future, as the studio has now officially claimed dates to release the third and fourth installments in the Amazing Spider-Man film continuity in theaters. However, physical copies of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 for Xbox One still seem to be delayed.
