The Scarlet Spider (film)

Background
The Scarlet Spider is a spinoff in the The Amazing Spider-Man movie series that takes place after the events of 'The Amazing Spider-Man: Clone Saga. 'It deals with the after math of the creation of the Scarlet Spider and his struggles in life. Kaine, Spidercide, and the Spider-Slayers are set to be the villains.

Plot
The movie starts off with Peter having flashbacks from the horrific explosion at Shea Stadium that killed Jackal and his clones, Scarlet Spider, Kaine, and Spidercide. Mary-Jane is pregnant and is about to have a baby. Meanwhile, Scarlet Spider, who survived the explosion, is deeply depressed coping with the fact that he is a clone and is stricken with influenza. He calls himself Ben Reilly in honour of his late uncle and late aunt's maiden name. He lives a nomadic lifestyle working in low-paying jobs before meeting Seward Trainer, he helps him get back on track and virtually 'adopts' him. However, Reilly escapes before Trainer figures out his credentials are fake. Kaine, who also survived the explosion is tracking Reilly down to kill him because he believes he is the true Peter Parker. Reilly goes on a bleak time period in his life on the run and not wanting to use his powers (they remind him of Spider-Man).

Meanwhile, Dr. Spencer Smythe, an old friend of the late Norman Osborne who has a hate towards Spider-Man, develops the Spider-Slayers. Spider-Man gets captured by them and is about to die before Scarlet Spider comes out of nowehere with a cool, upgraded Spider-Man costume and defeats the Spider-Slayers in front of civilians, earning him the nickname Scarlet-Spider.

Earning Peter's trust, Ben is given the Spider-Man mantle on an interim basis so that Peter can take time off for the birth of his child and to recuperate from his injuries. May Parker is born.

The Jackal (later learned that his clone-not himself-died in the explosion) is seen with Spidercide (who also survived) and tells him to destroy Ben Reilly after learning that he sided Spider-Man. Kaine and the mentally unstable Spidercide fight Reilly in a three-way epic battle in a New York City suburb.

Spidercide's shapeshifting becomes too powerful, and nearly kills Spider-Man and Kaine. Kaine and Spider-Man team up and stop Spidercide. Spidercide's DNA and remains are taken by police.

Peter Parker announces he will be taking more time off to deal with his injured leg, which gets a bionic implant by Dr. Reed Richards.

In post-credits, a bunch of new villains find the headquarters to the original sinister six.
