Martin Sheen returns as Uncle Ben in The Amazing Spider-Man 2
Take a look at what he had to say on the Irish talk show The Late Late Show last week.
"Well they called me back, I don't know what the part's going to be but I'm going to be Uncle Ben once again in Spider-Man next year. We shoot in February."
True to Spider-Man lore, Uncle Ben died in The Amazing Spider-Man, so Martin Sheen will most likely return for a few flashback scenes. Either that, or he will be pulling an Obi-Wan Kenobi. We'll keep you posted if any more character details are released.
Marc Webb is directing from a screenplay by Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman, and Jeff Pinkner.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 comes to theaters May 2nd, 2014 and stars Emma Stone, Jamie Foxx, Shailene Woodley, Sally Field, Dane DeHaan, Andrew Garfield, Martin Sheen, Felicity Jones. The film is directed by Marc Webb.

He'll get the flashback treatment like in the other Spider-Man films, I really don't see this as big news.

Is Either a Flashback or an Illution, when Spidey gets struck by Electro's Lightning, That's my guess.

@Agent-Cooper@justatadmatt then why being back uncle Ben? I liked the first one but I hope they will pick up the pace in the next one

@therealGoku Well, this is a sequel so there will probably not be a whole lot of origin stuff.

@therealGoku webb and garfield both said that they are more excited for this sequel than the first one because they get to stray away from the origin and create more of an original story and adventure...

These reboots piss me off. We know the origins already! Just got on with the action and story. We don't need origins in EVERY movie. Damn
