What We’ve Learned About The Amazing Spider-Man 2 From The First Month Of Marc Webb’s Tweets

Twitter is a wonderful thing. It really is. It allows fans to catch a glimpse into the thoughts and day-to-day activities of their favorite actors and directors and it allows the film media an opportunity to have access to news that previously would've been impossible to get unless we were on set ourselves.

The Hobgoblin Could Be In The Film

This claim is one of the bigger stretches I’m going to make in this article, but I’m going to include it anyway since I’d love to see it happen. Those who checked out my article about the villains I’d like to see for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 know that I didn’t include Electro or Rhino, meaning I’m 0 for 2 on confirmed villains and I’m obviously horrible at being a Spider-Man fan. But those readers also know that I said my ideal villain for this film was the Hobgoblin to properly set up a Green Goblin battle in the third film.

But what in Webb’s Tweets has led some to believe the Hobgoblin shows up? Well check out the picture he sent out on day 22.

I’m not even going to begin to speculate on what the actual picture could mean, but notice that date at the bottom. March 83. Something else significant to Spider-Man happened in March of 1983. That was the month that the Hobgoblin was introduced. The date isn’t random, so it’s hard to think of anything else that Webb could be getting at with this picture.

Then again, the date is also at the bottom of a picture he sent out on day 19 showing his producers, so maybe it doesn’t mean anything at all. This bit of speculation is one where I’m much more hopeful than confident.
