"Marc Webb has said that Sony Pictures is planning to expand its Spider-Man cinematic universe. The director has said that the intention is for ongoing storylines to &amp;quot;play out over multiple films&amp;quot;.  &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s always been a plan to expand this universe,&amp;quot; he told Movies.com. &amp;quot;To make a series of films that were interrelated and that weren&amp;#039;t purely episodic. &amp;quot;That there were certain ongoing stories that were going to play out over multiple films. So that&amp;#039;s always been in the works. There have been some early talks about the nature of those next two movies. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s still too early to talk about too many of the details. If you pay attention to this film that&amp;#039;s coming out in May of next year, you may get a feeling and a sense of what&amp;#039;s to come in the future.&amp;quot;  He added that there &amp;quot;may be elements that expand outside of Spider-Man that could fulfil that fourth film&amp;quot;. Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Dane DeHaan, Jamie Foxx and Paul Giamatti will star in the upcoming Amazing Spider-Man 2. The film will arrive on May 2, 2014. It will be followed by two more sequels on June 10, 2016, and May 4, 2018. Watch the first clip from The Amazing Spider-Man 2 below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
