Trivia & production notes
- Marc Webb's directorial debut was 500 Days of Summer in 2009, just months before being hired to direct The Amazing Spider-Man.
- Sam Raimi pulled out of Spider-Man 4 because the studio did not want to continue the series without him, leading Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios to reboot the franchise instead.
- Kathryn Bigelow and David Fincher were considered to direct The Amazing Spider-Man before Marc Webb was selected.
- Multiple screenplays written by James Vanderbilt, David Lindsay-Abaire, and Gary Ross were rejected by Sam Raimi during development of Spider-Man 4.
- Andrew Garfield calmed his anxiety about auditioning for Spider-Man by pretending he was auditioning for a short film made by his friends.
- Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone began dating while shooting the film after Marc Webb observed instant chemistry between them during screen tests.
- Andrew Garfield had three different stunt doubles during filming due to the demanding physical requirements of the role.
- Sally Field accepted the role of Aunt May as a personal favor to producer Laura Ziskin, knowing it would be Ziskin's final film before her death in 2011.
- When designing the Lizard, Marc Webb deliberately avoided giving him a traditional lizard snout to keep him appearing both human and monstrous so he could convey emotions.
- Emma Stone was unfamiliar with Spider-Man comics and had to educate herself about the source material to prepare for the role of Gwen Stacy.
