Sony Pictures has just announced the official title for the new Spider-Man movie, and it’s one that longtime fans should already be familiar with. Taking a page right from the original comics, Marc Webb’s upcoming reboot will be called The Amazing Spider-Man, which is a title that may indicate the direction of this new franchise.
Not only that, but they also released a brand new image of Andrew Garfield in full Spider-Man costume, highlighting those flashy web-shooters that folks talked so much about after that last image arrived. The title plus the web-shooters definitely means that Webb’s film will be based more on the original comics than any previous Spider-Man films. This is backed by the fact that Gwen Stacy is the main female and love interest, not to mention that other characters from the comics – like Peter Parker’s rival Flash Thompson – are also a part of the new film.Do you think going back to the original comics is a smart idea? Which Spider-Man film do you think will be more successful with fans: The Amazing Spider-Man or Sam Raimi’s original Spider-Man?
You have some time to make up your mind since The Amazing Spider-Man (in 3D!) won’t be hitting theaters till July 3rd, 2012.
