The Amazing Spider-Man 2: 10 Reasons It Will Live Up To The Hype

6. The Possible Unraveling Of The Parkers

The Amazing Spider Man 2 An origin story is nothing without a solid beginning, and The Amazing Spider-Man did so with a fresh start for Peter Parker as a kid living with his parents... but only briefly. Shortly into the introduction of the film, after the Parkers flee their residence with what seems to be top secret files, and with Peter in tow, they drop their son off at his Uncle Ben and Aunt May's home, and shortly leave for good, never to be seen again. This event has Peter searching for the truth behind his parents and why they left the way they did. During the events of the first Spider Man film, Peter doesn't necessarily find out the truth, but he makes it his job to do so in the future. Which brings us to TASM2. Reports indicate that Richard and Mary Parker will have small cameos in TASM2, in the form of flashbacks of course. One report gave away that their fate would be revealed in a plane crash (which happened in the comics since they were S.H.I.E.L.D agents at the time). While we know nothing until the film comes out and reveals to us the truth, it's all speculation right now. But it would certainly do the first film justice by tying up the loose end that is Peter's mysterious and shady parents. When the unraveling comes forth, what other truths will it unveil? Were the Parkers S.H.I.E.L.D agents the whole time? Were they working with cross-species genetics, knowing Peter would somehow become a victim of science? The roads it can take are numerous, and it's leaving a lot of the fans deeply anxious at the end result.
