We already knew that Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone would be back for The Amazing Spider-Man 2, but now we know that at least one more star from the first film will be returning for the sequel, with Martin Sheen once again playing Uncle Ben.
The actor told the RTE’s Irish talk show The Late Late Show last week that, “Well they called me back, I don’t know what the part’s going to be but I’m going to be Uncle Ben once again in Spider-Man next year. We shoot in February.”
You may be wondering exactly how he will return as [small SPOILER ALERT] Uncle Ben died in The Amazing Spider-Man. That means that Sheen will most likely return for a few flashback scenes, quite possibly taking the story of Peter Parker’s parents further, which was toned down in the first movie. [END SPOILERS]
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is set for release May 2nd, 2014 and stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Dane DeHaan, Shailene Woodley, Jamie Foxx, Martin Sheen.
