No one has answered this question yet.

No more than the two already made. It had been stated that there would be four movies, with the planned release dates being 2 May 2014 for Người Nhện Siêu Đẳng 2 (2014), 10 June 2016 for the third movie, and 4 May 2018 for the fourth. However, as far as the latter two are concerned, this did not pan out (perhaps to unsatisfactory performance or reception of the second movie) and instead the rights/license to the pertinent movie franchise were shared with Marvel Studios as Sony Pictures decided to pursue the third reboot of the Spider-Man cinematic franchise.

Mary Jane is not the love interest (or one of them) in this film adaption of Spider-Man. Instead the love interest is Gwen Stacy. Gwen was an earlier love interest for Peter Parker, after his failed attempt at a romantic relationship with J. Jonah Jameson's secretary, Betty Brant, and before Mary Jane in the original comics.

Rhys Ifans told Ain't It Cool News that the man was not Norman Osborn (Green Goblin), but is a representative from Oscorp and someone the fans are familiar with.

The man was later revealed to be Gustav Fiers, aka the Gentleman, who is known to have reformed the Sinister Six in a Marvel prose novel published in 1999.

Stan Lee is seen in the library at Peter's high school as The Lizard and Spider-Man are fighting behind him while he is oblivious to the action because he's wearing headphones with the volume turned up.

In the comic books, Peter's spider powers he got from the spider bite do not include any ability to shoot webbing like in the earlier series made by Sam Raimi. Instead, Peter invented a special spider web-like adhesive and the wrist guns to fire it which are referred as his web-shooters. That is where the imagery of Spider-Man typically folding his third and middle fingers into his palms with the other fingers are extended comes from; he is pressing down on a trigger extending to the palm of his hand with a double tap which allows him to form a fist without causing an accidental firing. The reason you don't see these in most versions most of the time is that the web-shooters are completely hidden under the costume with only the nozzle being visible. Otherwise, they are fully visible when Spider-Man removes his gloves to deal with technical difficulties with them or to reload. Likewise, Spider-Man in the comics also wears a utility belt which is also completely hidden under his costume. It carries additional web cartridges for reloads, little electronic tracking devices called spider-tracers, his camera, and a special flashlight that projects a light pattern resembling his mask. This element of the character has been the norm for decades in the comics and most of its various other media adaptations. The idea of Peter being able to shoot webbing from his own body (the media referred to this ability as being "biological web shooters") was first developed in a draft of the first Spider-Man movie script by James Cameron; this idea was later used by Sam Raimi in his films because he felt it would make for more sense than a high school student creating a wonder adhesive, despite the fact that Peter is known for his gift of knowledge in science. This film takes the opposite track to show how Peter was a special kid long before he was bitten by the spider in being able to invent such devices. There's a short scene in this film that shows Peter discovering a secret lab at Oscorp where spider webs are being studied for some unnamed research.

No. It is of its own fictional reality, i.e. separate from the Sam Raimi trilogy of Spider-Man movies from 2002-2007 starring Tobey Maguire; separate from its contemporary Marvel Cinematic Universe movies (by Marvel Studios); separate from the X-Men cinema (by 20th Century Fox); separate from a number of other movie series/franchises adapted from Marvel Comics titles or based upon characters thereof.

It is however set in the same universe as its 2014 sequel, "The Amazing Spider-Man 2". Also, a select few characters from this continuity cross over temporarily into that of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the 2021 movie Người Nhện: Không Còn Nhà (2021), which nonetheless remains an entirely separate continuity / universe.
