"Major" spoiler

Spoiler

C. Thomas Howell confirms the Lizard in the movie....

Spoiler

That's not the spoiler, what follows is...and it talks of two specific scenes, including one that takes place near the end of the film...so I recommend not clicking the next one if you don't want to know anything about the movie until the trailers start coming out...

Spoiler

The actor, who appears in the flick, said in a podcast on The RetroRadio that Garfield’s Spider-Man battles the Lizard in one of the film’s major action sequences. Said Howell, “I play a relatively small role. I play a construction worker whose son is caught in the middle of a battle between the Lizard and Spider-Man and we’re on the Manhattan Bridge. Spider-Man helps me get my son back in a perilous situation. At the end of the movie, there is a little bit of a payback there. Spider-Man is kind of hurting and I help him. Part of the story is the nation thinks he might be a bad guy at first. They don’t know who this guy is. Because of my experience on the bridge with my kid, I know he is a good guy. So, I pitch in and sort of help out.”

This is another one I almost didn't post, like the Dark Knight Rises spoilers, however after everyone telling me I should've "just posted" them anyway, I am doing that with these. This spoiler is more serious and spoils more than TDKR one did, if you want a comparison.

Sort of disappointed:

Spoiler

I don't think the Lizard can hold a movie all by himself. Hes an alright character i guess but i don't want him to be the only villain; however i don't want the crap that was Spiderman 3 and have multiply villains.

But since Parker will also be getting his powers for the first time and this being an origin story, the Lizard can hold my attention for now, but i would of rather had a serious villain. I guess this'll have to do

The Lizard is a serious villain, if only for the fact it's the perfect villain to start Parker off with. Parker is coming into his own as Spiderman, learning all of that, and I assume they'll go with the Lizard as one of Peter's teachers route...which means not only will Spiderman be trying to prove to the city he's good for them, but he'll also be facing a villain that he doesn't really want to hurt.

That's what I always liked about the Spidey/Lizard dynamic. Here's a villain that Spidey doesn't really want to hurt because he knows the guy personally and knows that he isn't your run of the mill crazy villain.

Exactly - it's the perfect start-up villain for an origin story. It'll provide a lot more emotional growth for Parker turning into Spiderman when he realizes that, in order to fully become the "hero" he has to face a villain that he cares for.

thats exactly what i assumed. Since it is an origin story, the focus will be on Parker becoming Spiderman and taking responsibility as a hero and then the Lizard as a villain who holds a special place in Pete's world

A bunch of set photos here (nothing of Spider-Man or Lizard though):

Re: Spider-Man reboot in 2012

THAT'S the guy playing Connors?

That's awesome. He's actually a fairly good actor that can be pretty hysterical.

[Fresh Tendrils]

I'm actually excited for this.

As one of the bigger Spider-man critics I can say I'm excited about the movie. Hopefully Gwen is done right.

Just in time for Comic-Con, our first hi-res look at The Amazing Spider-Man mask arrives. And yes, we will be busy for days scrutinizing every single detail. (*Opens can of Pringles, puts on jeweler's loupe*)



GeekTyrant.com has an insanely high-quality close-up image of the mask and suit, with the costume giving off a very Alex Ross vibe in terms of design and shading. (And if you look real close, True Believers, you can see Peter Parker's eyes behind the mask's lenses.)

SlashFilm.com also has some great hi-res scans from Entertainment Weekly's issue profiling the new Spidey reboot, which stars The Social Network's Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker. In EW, fans can see more pics of the suit and an image of Spidey's mechanical web shooters (see below.)




The trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man will be attached to Marvel's Captain America: The First Avenger, and many will get an early glimpse of Spidey in action when the movie premieres footage at this year's Comic-Con.

I can't wait to see the trailer.

Same. Hope it's good.

BTW mods, can we get a thread title change to The Amazing Spider-Man?

Re: Spider-Man reboot in 2012

I saw the pictures before but I had no idea that there was gonna be a trailer so soon. Now I'm even more excited for Captain America.

If the rumors that "the Avengers" movie trailer might be the post-credits scene, and this will be in the previews...Captain America is a must-see for comic book/superheo fans.

Re: Spider-Man reboot in 2012

Looks like a scuba diving suit, maybe that's what it's made of...

It's nice that they want to get closer to the original Spider-Man, but the gloves are a bit different than the way it was originally designed. I think originally the gloves were all red, but here they become blue around the fingers.
