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.

Ravencroft Makes An Appearance

Webb’s last Tweet of the month is one of his most revealing. On day 30 he sent out the above picture showing a directory of rooms at the Ravencroft Institute. For those who aren’t as well versed in Spider-Man lore, Ravencroft is a prison where many of the supervillains that Spidey battles are housed.

Carnage, the Chameleon, and the Jackal are all villains that were detained in Ravencroft, and in one arc John Jameson, son of J.J., worked there as a security chief. The question this picture raises, is just how many villains are we going to see in the film?

This movie is already feeling like a bit of a villain overload with Electro, Rhino, and the potential villains of the Black Cat, the Hobgoblin, Venom, the Green Goblin, and Colm Feore maybe playing Vulture. But a trip to Ravencroft would undoubtedly show a ton more villains. It’s actually a brilliant move if Webb wants to plant someone for the next film, but the problem is there would have to be a reason for these supervillains to appear considering the world set up in the first film didn’t have a ton of evil masterminds running around.

It’ll be interesting to see how big of a role Ravencroft plays in the film, but all we know for now is it definitely shows up at some point.
