He doesn't get into any crazy details, but he confirms that Shailene Woodley will play Mary Jane Watson, and gives a little hint at some of the costume changes we'll be seeing.

Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone will be back to reprise their roles in the sequel, which is set to be released on May 2nd, 2014. Jamie Foxx is also expected to be playing the villain, Electro, in the movie, which should be interestingly cool. Garfield also recently revealed on the Ellen DeGeneres Show that The Amazing Spider-Man sequel will start shooting next February!
