Fans also rejoiced in January 2025 when Stone and Garfield had a viral, heartwarming reunion at the 82nd Annual Golden Globe Awards, reminding everyone of the beloved on-screen and off-screen pairing.
The Villains and Supporting Heroes: Where Are They Now?
The success of the *Amazing Spider-Man* films also rested on a strong supporting cast, featuring veteran actors who brought depth and gravitas to Peter Parker’s world. The villains, in particular, have maintained high-profile careers, with one even returning to the Spider-Verse.
Jamie Foxx (Max Dillon / Electro)
Jamie Foxx, who played the electrically charged villain Max Dillon, or Electro, in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, has continued his prolific career across film and television. His return to the role in Spider-Man: No Way Home alongside Garfield was a major highlight for fans of the *TASM* universe.
Current & Upcoming Projects (2025): Foxx is slated to star in the action-comedy film Back in Action, set for release in 2025, which also marks Cameron Diaz's return to acting. He is also attached to the 2025 thriller Tin Soldier with Robert De Niro and is producing the highly anticipated Luther Vandross documentary, Never Too Much, which is also set for a 2025 release.
Rhys Ifans (Dr. Curt Connors / The Lizard)

The Parker Family & Authority Figures
The emotional core of Peter Parker's life—Aunt May and Captain Stacy—were portrayed by two legendary, Oscar-winning actors, whose careers continue to flourish with new and exciting projects.
Sally Field (Aunt May)
As Aunt May, Sally Field brought a much-needed warmth and emotional grounding to Peter Parker's life. The two-time Academy Award winner has had a storied career spanning decades in Hollywood, from Norma Rae to Forrest Gump.
Current & Upcoming Projects (2025): Field is reportedly in conversations to star in the film adaptation of the best-selling novel Remarkably Bright Creatures. The Netflix movie, which is currently filming in Vancouver, will feature Field as a lonely widow who forms an unlikely friendship with a giant Pacific octopus, demonstrating her continued interest in compelling, character-driven roles.
Denis Leary (Captain Stacy)

The Enduring Legacy of The Amazing Spider-Man Universe
The influence of the *Amazing Spider-Man* films, particularly the characterizations of Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy, extends far beyond the two movies. The emotional depth and grounded take on the superhero narrative, driven by director Marc Webb's vision, created a lasting connection with audiences. This connection was dramatically re-ignited when Andrew Garfield reprised his role as the web-slinger in 2021's Spider-Man: No Way Home, bringing his version of Peter Parker back into the spotlight and earning him a massive resurgence in popularity, with many fans still campaigning for a hypothetical The Amazing Spider-Man 3.
The 2025 reunion of Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone at the Golden Globe Awards served as a powerful reminder of the chemistry that anchored the series and the enduring love fans have for their dynamic. While the *TASM* universe may not have continued as originally planned by Sony Pictures, the stars who anchored it have become some of the most celebrated and active actors in the industry today, with their 2025 slate proving their relevancy is stronger than ever. From Oscar-winning dramas to major sci-fi and comedy television, the cast of *The Amazing Spider-Man* continues to amaze audiences worldwide.
