The Amazing Spider-Man 2: Deleted Scenes From the Trailers

If you’ll remember back a couple of years, The Amazing Spider-Man was a very different movie than it was originally planned to be, teased to be or promoted to be via the trailers. Well, it happened again this time.Let’s be clear when we say it’s not entirely uncommon for this to happen. Movie like Ghostbusters, The Incredible Hulk and Star Trek have had them, and it’s in fact so common that sites like Cracked, TV Tropes and io9 have written articles around the phenomenon. But in the case of The Amazing Spider-Man franchise, it seems particularly pronounced.  Two movies in, we have what seems to be fairly major surgery, including some tonal changes and even a character death or two, that have been conducted between the trailer phase and the finished product both times.The explanation for that, in a nutshell, was the the overall arc involving Peter Parker’s parents got expanded from one movie to three when Sony became so hot on Marc Webb’s film that they believed they could build a franchise from it. This happened during the filming or editing process, and it forced a number of changes to the film.
