With a Spider-Man cinematic universe to build, Sony’s The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is jam-packed with Easter eggs and Marvel Comics references that can be either left on their own as a nice bonus for those paying attention, or picked up and run with in future films like the planned Venom and Sinister Six spinoffs (not to mention The Amazing Spider-Man 3 and 4, which are already on Sony’s schedule).There are some obvious ones, some subtle ones…and then the ones we’ll get to later, which didn’t appear on film at all but were part of the movie’s elaborate and expansive viral marketing campaign, including the Daily Bugle that seemed to just never stop cranking out stories loaded with inside jokes for the last six months.So…what were the ones that stuck out to us while we watched the movie?

Did anyone else catch that reference to the Tobey Maguire Spider-man movies? When Peter was searching ‘What is Roosevelt?’ The computer showed a picture of a gondola with big red letters on its side saying ‘Roosevelt’. In the first Tobey Maguire spider-man movie he saves a bunch of kids who were in the same gondola.
