According to the <a href=\"http:\/\/marvel.wikia.com\/Ravencroft_Institute\">Marvel Wiki<\/a>, <em>&#8220;After Dr. <a title=\"Ashley Kafka\" href=\"http:\/\/marvel.wikia.com\/Ashley_Kafka\">Ashley Kafka<\/a> demonstrated great skill in treating super-criminals with her psychiatric skills, the US government decided to create the Ravencroft Institute for the Criminally Insane. The facility was designed as a maximum security facility with varying degrees of success. \u00a0 &#8220;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Notable inmates\/patients of this facility are:<\/p>\n<h4>Former patients include:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Prism (Robbie)<\/li>\n<li>Massacre (Marcus Lyman)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Electro (Maxwell Dillon)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Vulture (Adrian Toomes)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Carnage (Cletus Kasady)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Doctor Octopus (Otto Octavius)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Jackal (Miles Warren)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Shriek (Frances Barrison)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now while this\u00a0doesn&#8217;t\u00a0exactly scream &#8220;holy crap guess who may have a cameo in this movie!?&#8221; it does lay some very interesting groundwork for the film and its established mythos. Rumors suggest that this is the same facility that was shown in the ending scene from the first Amazing Spider-Man that housed <strong>Dr. Conners\/The Lizard<\/strong>, so there may exist a reference to his whereabouts there.\u00a0What it does seem to help reference is a possible\u00a0back story\u00a0to the\u00a0villain\u00a0of the film, <strong>Electro<\/strong>, played by <strong>Jamie Foxx<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>While as of right now, nothing is for sure, it is very interesting to speculate the inclusion of the <strong>Ravencroft Institute<\/strong> in this upcoming film, and I for one am extremely excited to see where they take it.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>The Amazing Spider-Man 2<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0is set to hit theaters\u00a0<strong>May 2nd, 2014<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nThanks to the Miracle of Twitter and the active involvement of Amazing Spider-Man director Marc Webb, we have a cool&hellip;\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/?p=7737\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &ldquo;Ravencroft Institute to play a role in The Amazing Spider-Man 2&rdquo;<\/span>&hellip;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":7741,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[2,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7737","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-comics-videogames","category-film-tv","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Ravencroft Institute to play a role in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 - The Cultured Nerd<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/?p=7737\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Ravencroft Institute to play a role in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 - The Cultured Nerd\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Thanks to the Miracle of Twitter and the active involvement of Amazing Spider-Man director Marc Webb, we have a cool&hellip;
