The story kicks off with Peter investigating a series of mysterious energy blackouts across the city. These anomalies are linked to Oscorp, now under the control of Alistair Smythe, a brilliant but morally compromised scientist who has taken over after Norman and Harry Osborn’s downfall. Smythe has secretly developed a fleet of robotic predators called Spider-Slayers, designed to eliminate Spider-Man under the guise of protecting the city from enhanced individuals.
Meanwhile, Peter’s personal life takes an unexpected turn when he reconnects with his old high school friend Felicia Hardy, now a skilled thief operating under the alias Black Cat. Felicia has her own vendetta against Smythe, whom she blames for her father’s death. The duo forms an uneasy alliance, with their mutual attraction complicating Peter’s lingering grief for Gwen.
As Peter uncovers the truth about Smythe’s experiments, he discovers that Oscorp has also revived the Venom symbiote, a dangerous alien organism. When the symbiote escapes containment, it bonds with Eddie Brock, a disgraced journalist with a grudge against Spider-Man. Eddie transforms into Venom, a monstrous and relentless adversary who becomes the city’s new nightmare.
The film’s climax sees Peter battling on two fronts: taking down Smythe and his Spider-Slayers while confronting Venom in an epic showdown that tests his strength, resilience, and moral compass. With Felicia’s help, Peter must find a way to stop Smythe’s plans without crossing the line he vowed never to breach.
At its core, The Amazing Spider-Man 3 is a story about redemption, loss, and the enduring power of hope. As Peter comes to terms with his past and embraces the possibility of a future, he learns that being Spider-Man isn’t just about saving the city—it’s about inspiring others to rise above their own struggles, no matter how insurmountable they seem.
