To fulfill the now annual tradition of EW debuting superheroes with oddly-textured outfits on the week before Comic Con, here are some pics iFanboy’s gathered of Andrew Garfield from the Amazing Spider-Man. It’s simply too silly for me to start speculating about next summer’s blockbuster season when we aren’t even out of this year’s yet, but I’ll still say that I’ve good expectations for this flick (“reboot” or no.) If Batman’s origin was unexplored enough to warrant Batman Begins, then Peter Parker’s high school years are certainly still due enough screen time to justify making this flick. In my view, Spidey’s at his best when he has to get his crime fighting done in time to be home for dinner, and, as much I liked the first couple Raimi/Maguire flicks, it did feel like they skimmed over that period a little too briskly.
Anyway, peruse the snappies below…
I alluded to Green Lantern’s sinewy photo-spread from last year, but I think First Class is more apt for comparison. Licensed Marvel movie. New director. 4th film in a series. A back-to-the-beginning reboot. Out of all the similarities, however, the most important is how a lot skeptics are doubting this’ll already. Like I’ve been saying, Marc Webb made an excellent film (500 Days Of Summer) and a lot of great music videos. Barring any possible redundant re-telling of the origin, I think he's going to make all the doubters eat their words next year.
Plus, it's got Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy.
