Good and bad news for Spidey fans made the news this week. First, the good news is that the franchise will feature at least two more installments beyond next summer's "Amazing Spider-Man 2."

"The Amazing Spider-Man 3" will open in theaters on June 10, 2016 and "The Amazing Spider-Man 4" will open on May 4, 2018.

The bad news is that the scenes featuring Mary Jane Watson (Shailene Woodley) in "Amazing Spidey 2" have been cut from the film.

"Of course I'm bummed," Shailene told EW. "But I am a firm believer in everything happening for a specific reason. MJ only appeared in a few scenes and I wouldn't trade the experience of working with Andrew and Emma for three days on set for the world. Based on the proposed plot, I completely understand the need for holding off on introducing MJ until the next film."

"The Amazing Spider-Man 2" opens in theaters on May 2, 2014.
