"Not everyone has a happy ending," the first trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 reminds viewers. And the world's favorite web-slinging hero certainly isn't happy as a new villain wreaks havoc across New York City.
The high-voltage Electro, played by Oscar winner Jamie Foxx, is the nemesis in this sequel to 2012's The Amazing Spider-Man. Both movies star Andrew Garfield as the title character and his out-of-suit role as Peter Parker. Emma Stone reprises her role as love interest Gwen.

The sequel introduces Parker's old friend Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan). Osborn's father runs Oscorp Industries, where Max Dillon got his villainous powers after an electrical accident and eventually transformed into Electro.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 from Columbia Pictures arrives in theaters on May 2. Its predecessor grossed more than $752 million at the worldwide box office.
