A major twist in the plot of the upcoming "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" has been cut out of the movie, Fashion & Style reports. The reported deleted scene was leaked and showed Peter Parker's (Andrew Garfield) father Richard (Campbell Scott) coming back from the dead.
While "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" DVD and Blu-Ray will be available on August 18, digital copy of the blockbuster movie is already available on the net. Fans were thrilled to see a copy of a deleted scene which left them asking why it has to be chopped from the movie.
The hero's parents died in the first scenes of the film after a tragic plane crash, but a big twist is supposed to be revealed later on. The cut out scene happens at the last part of the movie, where Peter mourns at Gwen Stacy's grave. His father later appears behind him.
The scene also shows an initially upset Peter but the two started talking. They hugged and sat down on a bench. Richard apologized to his son and explained why he had to fake his death. He said he had to disappear to avoid Oscorp and protect Peter. Richard also said he thought he was going to save the world, but he realized that Peter is the one destined to do.
The leaked video did not explain where Peter's father has been all these years. Also, it failed to show why he returned and appeared at Stacy's funeral. The mysteries surrounding the character were left open-ended as there would be no subplot to pick up on in the movie's sequel.
According to reports, it is still not clear at what point director Marc Webb and Sony decided to delete the scene.
It is not the first time a cameo was cut out from the same movie. Previously, Shailene Woodley's (Mary-Jane Watson) cameo was also cut from the scene after the film's producers noticed that there were too many characters and too much drama going on.
