Did you know

• According to the actors, the original Green Goblin vs. Spider-Man fight was longer and more violent, but had to be cut in order to keep the PG-13 rating. Things that were cut include a scene where the Goblin is conscious when Gwen dies and laughs at Peter as he cries over Gwen's body, then Peter almost beats the Goblin to death after Gwen is killed.

• (at around 2h) When Gwen Stacy dies, the clock tower's hand spins rapidly, landing on 01:21. Gwen Stacy is killed in The Amazing Spider-Man #121.

• The humorously hateful news boss J. Jonah Jameson, one of the most iconic characters in Spider-Man's mythos, was never mentioned in The Amazing Spider-Man (2012). In this sequel he is spoken of frequently but never appears. The producers claimed they could not find an actor to measure up to J.K. Simmons' legendary portrayal of this character in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man films. Stan Lee, the writer who came up with the idea for these characters and makes cameo appearances in all the films, has often said he would volunteer to play Jameson if he (Lee) were 30 or 40 years younger. Ironically, when casting Spider-Man: Far from Home (2019), they could still think of no one better than Simmons, so he resumed his role as Jameson.
