Five New Amazing Spider-man 2 Images See Andrew Garfield Back In The Swing Of Things

With a trailer due tomorrow, Sony Pictures is really amping up the promotion of The Amazing Spider-man. Yesterday we has a synopsis and poster, and today is a quintet of rather cool new images. Take a look at them below along with comments from director Marc Webb.

If you missed it yesterday, here’s the synopsis: ‘We’ve always known that Spider-Man’s most important battle has been within himself: the struggle between the ordinary obligations of Peter Parker and the extraordinary responsibilities of Spider-Man. But in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Peter Parker finds that a greater conflict lies ahead.

‘It’s great to be Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield). For Peter Parker, there’s no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen (Emma Stone). But being Spider-Man comes at a price: only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New Yorkers from the formidable villains that threaten the city. With the emergence of Electro (Jamie Foxx), Peter must confront a foe far more powerful than he. And as his old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, Peter comes to realize that all of his enemies have one thing in common: OsCorp.’

The film’s in UK cinemas next April. Click on the pics below for larger versions.

Spidey Vs. Electro – “We wanted some theatricality for this villain. What makes him interesting is the really ironic evolution of the character. He starts off as Spider-Man’s biggest fan and ends up being Spider-Man’s biggest foe.”

“We shot his exterior and then created a glowing light source that is buried deep within his core that exudes and generates electric light. If you look at a cloud when a thunderstorm is coming and the lightning is within that cloud, we use that as a natural inspiration for the character.”

“Electro is a god in terms of the power that he wields. To be faced with that creates a whole host of problems, obstacles and drama. That’s great to have between those two people.” – Andrew Garfield (Spider-Man)

“Oscorp is the evil empire and will always be a major player in these films.”

“[He’s] really getting the thrills of that virtuosity. [Swinging]’s going to be a side of him you’ll want to relish. This time, there’s a jollity we’ve really embraced.”
