New theories have come up with the release of The Amazing Spiderman 2 on Blu-Ray DVD. In the deleted scenes, Peter Parker was visiting Gwen Stacy's grave when a man shows up and calls him by his first name. The man was revealed to be Peter's father who supposedly died in a plane crash at the beginning of the film.
The theory originated from a report from Comic City Central, where a blogger from Comic Vine made a theory about Peter's father, Richard Parker, could possibly be a clone and that Sony Pictures could the third installment into a 'Clone Sage' storyline.
This evidence supporting this theory was brought up when Emma Stone was asked if it was the last time for her to appear in the Spiderman series, to which she replied:
"I don't know... is it? There could be a-I don't know, there's a whole plotline that could happen that may bring her back"

Ahead of the release of "The Amazing Spider Man 2", Sony announced a 2016 release for "The Amazing Spider Man 3" and "The Amazing Spider Man 4" somewhere around 2018, with "Venom" and "The Sinister Six" also planned to get their own films.
Producers Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach gave a few details announcing, "We're going to do Sinister Six and Venom". Quoted also saying: "there's going to be a lot of crossover in the movies. So we're just not at 'Spider man 4' because we still have a whole other Spider Man movie and two other movies. So we don't know yet what [Spider man 4] is going to be.
Critics however, aren't too excited about the announcements of "Sinister Six" fearing that introducing too many unfamiliar characters will not gain the audience's interest, making it a villain's movie and reducing the friendly neighborhood hero to cameo roles.
This could prove true, because a report at Ain't It Cool News states that "The Amazing Spider Man 3" might end up being delayed up to 2017. While there's no confirmation of the report yet, it's not that hard to believe. The Amazing Spider Man 2 was estimated to earn $1 billion, but the movie only managed to make $700 million in the box office, which isn't bad, except that the first installment yielded to make $60 million more. It is likely that the rumored release will be delayed after all.
On a good note, Indiewire thinks that the delay is good for Sony's most successful franchise as 2016 is fully loaded with superhero competition, namely: Superman: Dawn of Justice, X-Men: Apocalypse, Captain America 3, Shazam and possibly Doctor
Strange. Additionally, Tarzan, King Arthur, How To Train Your Dragon 3, Finding Dory, Planet of The Apes 3 and Independence Day 2.
