Spidey Getting New Suit In Sequel?

Reports are suggesting that Andrew Garfield will be donning a brand-new Spidey suit in Marc Webb's "Amazing Spider-Man" sequel. One report is saying that the new suit will be more traditional like the one in the comics and the one that Tobey McGuire wore in his trilogy of Spidey films directed by Sam Raimi.
I love the new suit in "The Amazing Spider-Man", but I would like to see them try out another one or two just for a change up. This could be interesting to see and some fans will go for it and others will hate it, but you'll always find this.

Marc Webb Confirms "Amazing Spider-Man 2" Villain & Jamie Foxx In Running For Role?

After tones of speculation, "Amazing Spider-Man" director Marc Webb has confirmed that Electro will be the main villain in "The Amazing Spider-Man 2". Rumors on the casting are suggesting that Jamie Foxx is in the running and is very close to getting the role as a BIG-screen black version of the classic comic-book villain. Speculation on Foxx rose after he tweeted the following,

"Dressed up as Electro for Halloween last night," and "Costume fits well."

Personally I think that Foxx would and could be good if he got the role. Yeah he's black, but I think it's great that Hollywood continue to shake things up with casting black people in white peoples roles and vice-versa. Nothing has been confirmed yet, but I'm sure that'll just be right around the corner.

Mary Jane Been Cast For "The Amazing Spider-Man 2 &3"

It's been announced that "Descendants" star, Shailene Woodley has joined the cast of "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" as the new rebooted version of Mary-Jane Watson. It's been reported that she will appear in a cameo near the end of the second film before becoming lead female in the third. I think she is stunning looking and would be great for the part.
Rumours came out a few weeks back saying that Emma Stone's Gwen Stacy was set to be killed off during the next film, but nothing was confirmed. It's still not been confirmed if she will be killed off in the second one or be kept to die at the beginning of the third. Stacy is killed by the Green Goblin in the comic books, so that could be kept for the third and final film in the rebooted trilogy.
This is my theory because Electro is strongly rumoured to the the second films main villain, but it's also rumoured that Norman Osborn will pop up too to kick things off for Stacy's death, which I'm seriously guessing is the third film.

Marc Webb & Andrew Garfield Back For "Amazing Spider-Man 2"

Ever since the release of this years return of the New York City web-slinger Spider-Man, it's been rumoured that the reboots director Marc Webb wasn't coming back to helm the highly-anticipated 2014 sequel.
Now it's been confirmed by Columbia President, Doug Belgrad, that both Webb and new Spidey, Andrew Garfield, are both returning for the second film in the planned rebooted trilogy of the classic comic book series. This is what Belgrad said on the both Webb and Garfield returning,

"We could not be more confident in the direction we are taking this new Spider-Man storyline and we are tremendously excited to be ramping up production again with Marc at the helm and Andrew continuing on as Peter Parker. We can't wait to share what we have in store for Peter and Spider-Man with audiences worldwide."

Webb Directing "Spidey 2" After All?

According to The LA Times, the BIG bosses over at Sony are desperate in getting Marc Webb back to direct "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" for them. The only bad thing is that he has a contract with Fox to direct one more film for them first. But Sony want the Spidey sequel out by 2014 and Fox want him to do their film first.
This problem has came to a very reasonable conclusion, Fox have seen sense and are letting Webb direct "Spidey 2" first, but only if he ups his contract to two more films with Fox though. Now that does seem pretty reasonable to me don't you think?!

Sony Confirm "Amazing Spider-Man 3" Via Facebook!

Just days after the release of "The Amazing Spider-Man", Sony have confirmed via "The Amazing Spider-Man" Facebook page that there is going to be a trilogy to the reboot film now. Sony announced a second film a few months back with a May 2014 release and now we're getting a third one too.
It's finally here! The Amazing Spider-Man is the first installment in a movie trilogy that will explore how our fave hero's journey was shaped by the disappearance of his parents.
There's no release date confirmed for the third one, but we can assume that it'll probably be out for around 2016, two years after the second one.

My Spoiler Free Review Of "The Amazing Spider-Man"

I know I haven't done a review on well anything in ages, so I thought I'd start them again. So here's my review of "The Amazing Spider-Man" and yes it's going to be spoiler free. 
Well what can I say, the film was was pretty amazing after all. It stood on it's own grounds and hasn't copied anything from the previous films. It was darker and more brutal when it came to the fight scenes. It had it's sad moments, it had it funny moments, it even had it's bloody shocking moments and well obviously, it had it's outstanding moments. Visually it was absolutely stunning. There's less CGI, and even when that was used, it was well better than the first film away back 10 years ago. I feel that the films director, Marc Webb gave the film some true realism, kind of like Christopher Nolan's "Batman" franchise. Now I'm not comparing it to that totally, but it sticks to that type of tone, look and feel.
New Spidey, Andrew Garfield was so, well more human than Tobey McGuire's Spidey/Peter Parker. Once he became Spidey, he was a lot cockier,but come on.....surely that's allowed. Cocky is fun, whereas McGuire's still stayed "all goody too shoes" on us. At times you felt more sorry for him, especially near the end, but I ain't saying nothing there because this is a "spoiler free" review. 
When it comes to miss Emma Stone, well I can't say anything bad about Stone playing the very blonde and sexy Gwen Stacey, because she is a saint and I love her. All joking aside, the chemistry between her and Garfield's Peter Parker was convincing, even more convincing than the chemistry between McGuire's Parker and Kirsten Dunst as Mary-Jane Watson, which is reportedly appearing in the sequel to this reboot. Not Dunst, just the MJ character. I really hope Mary Elizabeth Winstead gets the role. 
When it comes to the films main plot, I really don't want to give much away, but it's so well put together, that when it comes to the end.............you seriously wish it wasn't, much like "Avengers Assemble". The origins of Parker and his parents play a big part in the film and this is where Dr Curt Connors comes in to the story. Connors is played by Brit, Rhys Ifans. Connors knows something about Parkers past and more about his dad than anyone, so he's got much to tell him and well keep from him as you'll find out. Again, like I said, I don't want to give much away. Just go and see it and enjoy it like I did.
If I was to compare it to the first three films, I'd definitely say that this was much much better than the third, an upgrade from the very first and well not as good as the second one, when it comes to the lead villain, but that's okay because the rest of the film was bloody brilliant. I'd definitely give it 9/10, because I didn't really feel as though Rhys Ifans was convincing enough. I felt sorry for him at times, but he could have been a weeeee bit better for me to give it the full 10. 

Over all this truly is a fantastic reinvention of a much loved franchise and I hope people love it as much as I did. If it does as well as hoped, a sequel will definitely definitely definitely be swinging around the corner, well even though it's already happening, but then again it could have got cancelled if this one was crap!!!

Webb Might Not Be Back To Direct Spidey Sequel!

The director of "The Amazing Spider-Man", Marc Webb has mentioned that he may or may not be back to direct the 2014 planned sequel to his upcoming Spidey 3D reboot. He said, "Well, it's a long ... People ask about the sequel and I'm like, (Well, you know, I don't know if I want to do that, but I love the process.) I love Andrew and Emma. But it's like asking someone who has just given birth, "Do you want to get pregnant again?"
Surely he'll come back for the sequel and if it's lucky, the third part. He can make this his trilogy, like Christopher Nolan and well ex-Spider-Man director, Sam Raimi. Both directors stayed on for a whole trilogy and have their signature move and direction with their trilogy. I assume Webb will have his too, so why spoil it and leave after one film. Someone new could come on and ruin the second film for all of us. I generally think that directors should stay on and direct sequels of their first film.
