Alvin Sargent, the American screenwriter who has won two Oscars and the Spider-Man trilogy scenario, has died at the age of 92.
Sargent died of natural causes at home in Seattle on Thursday.
He won the Oscars for Julia, a 1977 Holocaust drama based on the personal writings of Lillian Hellman and Ordinary People, a 1980 film about a bereaved family.
However, he will also be remembered for his later work on Spider-Man.
Sargent wrote Spider-Man 2 in 2004 and Spider-Man 3 in 2007. He also rewrote for The Amazing Spider-Man in 2012.

Writer for television, Sargent came to the big screen in 1966 with "Gambit", a comedic thriller starring Michael Caine.
In addition to his two Oscars, he was also nominated in 1974 for "Paper Moon" – an American comedy drama film set in Kansas and Missouri during the Great Depression.
Sargent and his life partner, producer Laura Ziskin, married in 2010 after more than 25 years together. She died of breast cancer a year later.
