The Amazing Spider-Man hasn't come out yet, but Sony already has two writers working on the rewrite of the script for the sequel.
According to Deadline, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci from Star Trek have be hired to work on the script for the second film in the rebooted franchise. Marc Webb directed the first film hit theaters July 3rd with Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone in the lead roles as Peter Parker/Spider-Man and Gwen Stacy.
Said Kurtzman and Orci: “We grew up as huge Spider-Man fans so, to us, the opportunity to work on this film is akin to being handed the Holy Grail. We love the direction Sony and the filmmakers are taking the Peter Parker/Spider-Man mythology and we couldn’t be more excited to be a part of this legendary franchise.”
The second film has production scheduled for the first quarter of 2013. Of course there is no word yet on what the sequel will hold, we can probably expect to see a classic villian, possibly Vulture or Mysterioso or Electro. There are a lot of big name enemies that could show up, personally I want to see Kraven the hunter with his half-brother Chameleon and a cameo from Green Goblin.
Producer Matt Tolmach said “Alex and Bob have a unique ability to write great character and spectacular action that makes them pitch perfect for Spider-Man. They’ve been friends of ours for a long time and they have an exciting take on the franchise — we’re thrilled to have them join the Spider-Man family.”
So who do you want to see in the next Spidey film? Carnage? Rhino? Shocker?
