Marc Webb has described The Amazing Spider Man 2 as an 'aggressive step forward'.
Webb is back in the director's chair for the highly anticipated Spider Man sequel; which comes two years after the success of the first instalment.
And Webb reveals that The Amazing Spider Man 2 is a huge leap forward with the action, emotion and special effects wise.
Speaking to Total Film, the director said: "It’s huge. We’re pushing the levels of effects, the level of action and the emotional capacity of this kid. It’s an aggressive step forward.
"We throw around the term ‘operatic’ because of the spectacle and the theatre involved, which is pretty epic.There are enormous sets and great set-pieces.
"But really it’s a very intimate song - this relationship between Peter and Gwen is very delicate and beautiful."
The Amazing Spider Man 2 sees Andrew Garfield return to the role of Peter Parker, while Emma Stone and Martin Sheen are also back.
This time around Spider Man will do battle with Electro and The Rhino, as Jamie Foxx and Paul Giamatti join the cast list.
The Amazing Spider Man 2 is released 18th April.
