The follow up to the smash hit film version of the classic superhero tale of
Spider-Man, the story features one of the comic's classic villians, Doctor Octopus, who provokes the webslinger as he comes to terms with his mysterious nature.
Directed by Sam Raimi. Written by Alvin Sargent. Starring Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, James Franco and Alfred Molina.
There was speculation that perhaps
Tobey Maguire would not be able to play Spider-Man in
Spider-Man 2 due to injuries sustained while filming
Seabiscuit.
Jake Gyllenhaal was being rumored as a fill-in until Maguire turned out to be just fine.
