First picture of Andrew Garfield released

http://io9.com/5732980/first-look-at-andrew-garfield-in-his-spider+man-suit

Thoughts? I think it's a bit too busy for the design but if you notice....actual web shooters. Looks like they're getting rid of the bio shits.

    Hmm.. I love Spiderman and well, most of Marvel but I'm still incredibly queasy about the idea of doing a reboot already. . . and not only that. . . the fact that Sony still holds the rights to the films. I really wish Marvel would reclaim the rights to Spidy and the X-men, but once again...you never know. I DO really like Andrew Garfield and thought he was great in Imaginarium and Social Network, amd I do think Emma Stone is charming and great and a total babe, so you never know...I guess. As long as they make Spider Man sassier than the last version I will be happier, I guess.

    Pretty cool. So is this a complete reboot of the series? Are we going to see him become Spiderman in the first movie?

    BTW, there's a new shot of the new Captain America too.

    That....is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. I wish the shield was this one, though.

    I think Chris Evans was a bad choice for Captain America. He's too playboy for my taste, too teenage heart throb. Nathan Fillion would have been a great choice for the Cap though.

    I dunno he seems like a skinny nerd to me. Which is great. Cap's costume is awesome. Way Better than Thor's. I love they went with the more Ultimates type design with cap.

    I dunno. I had a bunch of doubts about Evans until I saw him in costume. Also, he bulked up a shit ton unlike fucking Topher Grace as the skinniest Eddie Brock ever. I really like Nathan Filion but honestly, as Capn America? I don't know if I see that. As Drake from uncharted, hells yes.

    Back to Spiderman though, I'm a big fan of the Ultimate universe comics and to me this just seems to nail the style for me. Yeah he looks kind of emo but you know what? He is an emo as fuck guy when he's Peter Parker. His entire world is his parents are dead, the one father figure he had died because of shitty choices he made, and most his friends turn villain or die. When he's in costume it's his one escape and people still shit talk him in the cities largest paper. And the movie takes place when he is still in high school so add to that.

    I just really hope we don;t have to watch another green goblin origin story. In a way I don't mind the idea of reboots but I don't want to see the exact same villain. Good example being the latest hulk. Origin in the opening credits. Yes please.

    This dude is too tall/handsome to play Peter Parker. He's like...6'1. Parker should be more around 5'8, and nerdier.

    Also, I don't think the series really needed to be rebooted already. Just wrapped up with a different director & great screenplay. Plus, maybe they could kill Kirsten Dunst a 4th one.

    Anyway...hopefully its cool. Cap looks alright, Thor still looks like crap.

    the only reason they're doing it is bc SONY loses the rights to spidey this year, so they had to reboot and make some loot real quick like.

    playing johnny (fantastic four) AND cap'n america is just asking for trouble down the line.

    an btw since when does spiderman walk anywhere?

    Since when does he walk, with his mask off, but his costume in full display. He has a backpack on, like he's going to school.

    The only thing I don't like about the Capt uniform, is I thought those were suspenders in the comic, but the costume looks like they are just lines in the jacket :/

    Majority of early spiderman was in high school, so backpack makes sense to me.

    Yeah, a back pack makes sense, I just meant, it looks like he's going to school in his spidey outfit. Like his laundry isn't done, and that's all he had to wear.

    In the newer movies, he usually had the mask taken off, or torn, in battle. Not, hey, I'm spidey, walking to school. Plus, any points based on Spiderman 3 are automatically nullified, because that movie doesn't exist to me.

    None of this is to say that this new movie will suck. I'll probably still be sitting in the theater on opening weekend. Just saying, the image has some oddities.

    Shes ugly as something very ugly.

    Also wasn't she like, 8 in that film, Gary...? :p

    As for the pic, I'm just not feeling it. The only pluses are the actual web shooters are made and not genetic, which is a step in the right direction, and Emma Stone who is hot in pretty much anything, but everything else... I just get this huge "WHY?" in the back of my head? I know Spidey 3 was dire awful, but it didn't need a reboot. Even if they had to lose Tobey, who cares? The guy was good, but J.K. Simmons was the star of the show, and that was about as perfect casting they could get... This whole thing screams "Hey we Twilight and thats pretty big with the teens ay so lets do that but with Spidey!".

    Joy.

    She's hit or miss with me. Sometimes she looks good, but most times, her face looks oddly proportioned and her teeth are strange looking. Her body is nice though.

    I assume the new movie is due to the Marvel/Disney teamup. They're trying to buy back all their IPs from various companies and if those companies aren't doing things with the franchises then they lose the right after some time. Same reason Fox has announced they're going to reboot the Fantastic Four.

    Spiderman can't be in the Avengers, Sony has the rights to the character Spiderman in film, and the Avengers is a Marvel Studio project. So we will see none of that in the non Marvel Studio owned products, ie: Fantastic 4, X Men, Spiderman, and whatever else Sony and Fox have their grubby little hands on.

    Are you seriously expecting green goblin story? Actually it happened in the third part I believe when his son found out his hideout and he modified the costume to have revenge. I think.

    But a solo origins of the green goblin are far out of the movie scenes, so I dont see them happening.

    I agree with this, but I wouldn't call her "ugly". In fact there are very few people who'd I'd consider to be "ugly", that's quite a strong word to use.

    wow I never knew he became Spider-man after being bit by a spider. I don't know what I ever would have done if they didn't spend 18 kajillion dollars to show me that again.

    to be fair I wasn't a fan of Raimi's either, except for 2, and Emma Stone is better in every possible way than Horseface, so it may be okay.

    why do they keep trying to cast Peter Parker as a douche bag? I hope i am wrong by his acting... but in my mind Peter Parker in essence is like the cartoon in the 90's. square jaw, more on the handsome good looking, built and kinda preppy. but i guess everyone has a different perception of him.

    In any case, the trailer at least gets the setting and mood right. Let's hope this brings us a good movie.

    @glottis8: Actually Peter Parker was the first superhero that the readers actually could identify themselves with because he looks like a normal guy. I guess the creators wanted him to look somewhat like the average reader or something like that;
    Spider-Man_spider-bite.jpg

    The one in the images you've linked looks more like superman.

    @shotgun: I agree. He was great in 'Boy A' and I'm looking forward to this one.
    The setting looks more serious.

    I was very skeptical at first, but after seeing this, I actually have some hope.
    Maybe this will end up being the one to repair all the horrible flaws and campy atmosphere of Raimi's versions. I liked his versions a lot (except for 3 <- nightmares for weeks), but the overall feel in how they were filmed and screenplay still felt out of touch with putting Spiderman in the real world, but in the end, I think that was Raimi's intention all along.
    The more the audience can relate to the film, the better it will do, and I think that they will be able to relate to this more.
