The second installment of Sam Raimi's trilogy of live-action Spider-Man films. Releasing in 2004 after Spider-Man, starring Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, alongside Kirsten Dunst, James Franco, Alfred Molina, Rosemary Harris, and Donna Murphy. Set two years after the events of Spider-Man, the film finds Peter Parker struggling to stop scientist Dr. Otto Octavius from recreating the dangerous experiment that killed his wife and left him neurologically fused to mechanical tentacles, while also dealing with an existential crisis between his dual identities that appears to be stripping him of his powers. Followed by Spider-Man 3.
