New images from The Amazing Spider-Man arrive online

Columbia Pictures has released a set of new images from The Amazing Spider-Man, the studio’s upcoming reboot of the wall-crawling superhero franchise.

The six images feature Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker and Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy, Peter’s first love in the Marvel Comics universe. Along with offering up another nice, high-res look at the redesigned Spider-Man costume Garfield will sport in the film, the images also tease the aftermath of what looks to be a pretty nasty encounter Peter Parker has with… something.

There’s also an image of Peter without the Spider-Man suit, clinging to the ceiling of a subway car.

While there’s not a lot of new information to glean from the images, any news is interesting news when it comes to the upcoming revamp of the blockbuster franchise by director Marc Webb.

Last month, we received a number of big updates in a short period of time around San Diego’s Comic-Con International. Not only did we get the first footage from the film courtesy of The Amazing Spider-Man teaser trailer, but we also got a brand new poster for the project.

The Amazing Spider-Man is scheduled to hit 3-D and 2-D theaters on July 3, 2012. Along with Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone, the film also stars Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Campbell Scott, Irrfan Khan, Martin Sheen and Sally Field.

Why you should watch The Amazing Spider-Man 2 on Netflix

This month, Netflix has welcomed The Amazing Spider-Man 2 back to its lineup, and it has quickly become one of the most popular movies on Netflix. That makes this the perfect opportunity to tell you why you should watch The Amazing Spider-Man 2 on Netflix.

Now, we would never argue that The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is the best Spider-Man film or even a great one. It's got a lot of problems, including a truly grotesque Green Goblin design, a very unconvincing performance by Dane DeHaan as Harry Osborn, and a take on Electro (Jamie Foxx) that feels like it was lifted directly from Batman Forever. This film also tries so hard to set up an MCU-style Spider-Man universe that it wildly underperformed at the box office and led Sony Pictures to partner directly with Marvel Studios for the Tom Holland-led Spider-Man flicks.

Who is the best Spider-Man actor? All the Spider-Men, ranked

Spider-Man is arguably the most popular and beloved superhero in modern pop culture. A staple in movies and television since the 1960s, Spidey is Marvel's crowning jewel, a near-universally adored hero that appeals to children and adults alike. Few superheroes have as much staying power as Spidey, cementing his place as a timeless icon and a staple of modern pop culture.

The web crawler has a rich and long history in movies and television. Since transitioning from the page to the screen in the Silver Age, Spider-Man has starred in countless animated series, received multiple live-action movies, and appeared as a major supporting figure in many other projects. But who, out of all the actors who have played him, is the best Spider-Man? It's not an easy decision - every actor has brought something unique and valuable to the table. However, some are undeniably better than others, and a few have become synonymous with the character. To begin, we will focus only on the character of Peter Parker, as he has the most depictions in movies and television.

20 years ago, Spider-Man swung onto MTV and changed the Marvel superhero forever

Spider-Man: The New Animated Series Sony/MTV / Sony/MTV

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has to be the most freeze-frameable movie of the year. The hit sequel is packed with Easter eggs and left-field references — especially in its second half when the plot is invaded by a whole army of alternate-universe web slingers pulled from back issues and past adaptations alike. But if the roll calls of eagle-eyed fans are to be believed (Google "all the characters in Spider-Verse" for a comprehensive count), there's at least one Spider-Man missing from the film's sprawling game of Where's Waldo? He's the one who swung onto MTV 20 years ago this summer, delivering wisecracks in the voice of Neil Patrick Harris while soaring across a blocky computer-generated Manhattan.
