 Spider-Man
2 reunites the filmmakers and cast from the first film, including
Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, James Franco, Rosemary Harris and
J.K. Simmons, along with director Sam Raimi, and producers Laura
Ziskin and Marvel's Avi Arad. Stan Lee and Joseph M. Caracciolo
serve as executive producers for Spider-Man 2, and Grant Curtis
serves as the film's co-producer. Sam Raimi directs Spider-Man
2 from a screenplay by Alvin Sargent and Alfred Gough & Miles
Millar and Michael Chabon, based on a story by David Koepp and
Alfred Gough & Miles Millar. In Spider-Man 2, the webslinging
superhero encounters a new nemesis, the villainous "Doc
Ock," who will be portrayed by Alfred Molina (Frida, Identity).
Two years have passed, and the mild-mannered Peter Parker
faces new challenges as he struggles with "the gift and
the curse," desperately trying to balance his dual identities
as the web-slinging superhero Spider-Man and his life as a college
student. Tormented by his secrets, Peter finds that his relationships
with all those he holds dear are in danger of unraveling. His
life-long yearning for M.J. (Kirsten Dunst) becomes even stronger
as he fights the impulse to reveal his secret life and declare
his love. His friendship with Harry Osborn (James Franco) is
complicated by the young Osborn's bitterness over his father's
death and his growing vendetta against Spider-Man. Even Peter's
beloved Aunt May (Rosemary Harris), who has fallen on hard times
after the death of Uncle Ben, begins to have doubts about her
nephew.
Peter's life is about to become even more complicated as he
encounters a formidable new foe -- Dr. Otto Octavius (Alfred
Molina). Peter must use all the powers at his disposal to try
to stop this diabolical madman in his octagonal tracks.
