A Storm Is Brewing In A New Amazing Spider-Man 2 Teaser Poster

By Leave a Comment

amazing-spider-man-poster4
The Amazing Spider-man 2 is hoping to make a huge splash when it’s released next May, and in order to make sure everyone knows it’s coming, the hype has already started. After a trailer arrived a couple of weeks ago, now we have a new poster, which you can see above.

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.’

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

By Leave a Comment

amazing-spider-man-2-new-pic4
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.”

Sony Plans Multiple Amazing Spider-Man Spin-Offs

By Leave a Comment

amazing-spider-man-2-suitEver since the success of The Avengers, other studios have been eyeing Marvel’s film universe with jealous eyes. DC/Warner has stepped up plans to build its own interconnected universe, Fox is expanding X-Men and Fantastic Four, and now it appears Sony wants to build its own interconnected superhero/villain world with the Spider-man characters it has the rights to, according to Deadline.

The Amazing Spider-Man 3 and 4 are already in the works, and now studio president Amy Pascal has teased that they are planning numerous spin-offs to go along with the sequels. During a presentation to investors she said, “We are going to access Marvel’s full world of Spider-Man characters, so be on the lookout for new heroes and villains.”

Sony Pictures Entertainment chief Michael Lynton suggested that there are currently scripts in development for these spin-offs saying, “We do very much have the ambition about creating a bigger universe around Spider-Man. There are a number of scripts in the works.”

While it hasn’t been confirmed which characters will get their own stand-alone movies, Sony’s licensing deal with Marvel allows it to make movies based on the peripheral characters in this universe, such as Venom and Black Cat. There are also plenty of villains who could become central to spin-offs, and it’s already believed The Amazing Spider-man movies will lead to the formation of the evil Sinister Six band of bad guys.

Spidey Gets Out His Hose In New Amazing Spider-man 2 Pics

By Leave a Comment

amazing-spider-man-2-preview-pic14
A trio of new images from The Amazing Spider-man 2 have arrived, thanks to The Times of India (via Superhero Hype), which give a fresh look at Jamie Foxx’s Electro, Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy, as well as a rather unexpected one where Spidey is doing his best fireman impression.

We’re assuming this doesn’t mean he’s joined the NYFD and goes on duty in full costume.

There’s not been too much info released about the exact plot, but we do know he’ll be up against the likes of Electro and Rhino, with suggestions the movie could lead to the formation of the villainous Sinister 6 in The Amazing Spider-man 3. We’ll find out more next month, as a trailer has been promised, attached to The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug. [Read more…]

New Pics From Amazing Spider-man Debut, Including A Hint At The Sinister Six

By Leave a Comment

amazing-spider-man-2-preview-pic13
For the last few months there have been rumours that Sony’s plans for The Amazing Spider-man 2, 3 & 4 are designed to lead to the formation of the villainous Sinister Six, although there’s been no confirmation that this selection of bad guys will show up on screen.

However now we’ve got out biggest hint yet that this is what will happen, with an image of producer Avi Arad sat underneath a soundstage with the name ‘Sinister 6’ written on it. Although it’s unlikely to be a stage shooting Amazing Spider-man 2, it’s certainly not a coincidence.

It’s one of six new images from the movie, which arrived via Coming Soon, which also includes a fresh look at Paul Giamatti as Rhino, Stan Lee showing up for him cameo and Dane DeHaan on camera duty. The Amazing Spider-man 2 is out May 2014.

New Amazing Spider-man 2 Pic Takes Us Inside Oscorp With Dane DeHaan and Andrew Garfield

By Leave a Comment

amazing-spider-man-2-preview-pic8Dane DeHaan joins the Amazing Spider-man family in the second adventure for Andrew Garfield’s Peter Parker. He’s gonna be Harry Osborn (previously played by James Franco in Sam Raimi’s films), who’s the son of mega-rich genius Norman Osborn.

DeHaan himself tweeted a new pic from the movie, showing him and Andrew Garfield in a boardroom at Oscorp, along with the message, ‘Breakin’ it down #Osborn style… Yo.’

Little info has been given about how Harry Osborn fits into The Amazing Spider-man world, although most of the speculation has suggested that Amazing Spider-man 2 will set him up for a larger role in the planned third and fourth films in the series. The presumption is that in one of those films he’ll become the Green Goblin (although we don’t know if, as in the comics, he’ll be following in his father’s footsteps as the infamous villain). At the moment though it’s all largely speculation.

The Amazing Spider-man 2 is out May 2nd 2014.

Andrew Garfield Elaborates On Why He Thinks Spider-man Stands For Equality

By Leave a Comment

Andrew Garfield in The Amazing Spider-manA couple of weeks ago, Andrew Garfield made waves when he joked that he thought it could turn out Spider-man is gay, and that MJ turns out to be a guy, preferably played by Michael B. Jordan.

Now he’s been talking more about his ideas about the character and why he thinks Spider-man is all about equality.

He told Vulture, “My beliefs about living and about life and about the world and humankind have nothing to do with Spider-Man, but what I do believe is that Spider-Man stands for equality. Spider-Man will protect whoever needs protecting: gay, straight, black, lesbian, bisexual, transgender. He’s not gonna go help the middle-class white dude before he helps the homosexual black dude! He is an Everyman, and he is covered head to toe in costume, which is different than any other superhero I’m aware of, and I think that’s why he’s so universally relatable. And he is color-blind and he is blind to any sexual orientation, so it was more just a philosophical question of “Why not?” And I stick to it. I long for the time when we don’t see skin color, where sexual orientation is treated as a small thread in the fabric of a person as opposed to defining them.”

By Leave a Comment


Andrew Garfield won over Comic-Con a couple of years ago when he showed up wearing a child-like Spider-man costume and talked about how much the character means to him. It seems he still absolutely loves what he’s doing – which has made him plenty of fans in the comic book community – as for The Amazing Spider-man 2’s Comic-Con panel this year, he did the first part in costume and character as Spidey himself.

Before he took to the stage, attendees saw footage where security wouldn’t allows him into the hall, saying “There are 10 more of you inside!” However he managed to get to the panel anyway, in costume, and kept his American accent up to be part of the event.

Garfield later returned as himself, but take a look at Spidey at Comic-Con below. [Read more…]
