Spider-Man in Japan!

The first film was a huge blockbuster across the world. Now, the sequel to 2002's Spider-Man is ready to hit the theatres.

Directed by Sam Raimi, both films star Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst.

William Dafoe, who played Spider-Man's dreaded enemy -- the green goblin -- in the first film, does not make an appearance in the sequel.
