After the rush of promotion we got over the summer for The Amazing Spider-Man 2, it seemed that things couldn’t get any better for Spidey fans, as day after day there was a new image or a new promotional clip to satisfy our senses. That obviously couldn’t last all the way until the film’s release, so promotion slowed significantly once fall began. It’s too soon to say if this is the start of another rush or simply an isolated incident, but today we have three new images showcasing the hero, the villain, and the love interest in Marc Webb’s second Spider-Man movie.
As you can see above, in the first image Spidey is putting out fires in a slightly different way than he usually does. I’d guess there’s a blaze that’s too big to be quelled by simple webbing, so he’s helping out in the only way he can. Perhaps it’s a fire sparked by electricity?
In the other images (which you can see in the gallery below) we get another look at a fierce Electro and also a glimpse of Peter and Gwen getting close. I don’t know that Peter and Gwen’s proximity is actually a sign of good things though, as Andrew Garfield’s face doesn’t seem to be that of a man happily in love. We’ll have to wait and see if it’s a minor lovers squabble or something more serious.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is going to follow the disturbing trend of many recent films featuring great American superheroes by releasing in the UK on April 18th, which is a few weeks before the US release date of May 2nd. Well, maybe it’s only disturbing for American audiences, but I stand by it. Then again, if this film is nearly as good as the promotion would lead me to believe, it may be worth a trip to London to see it as soon as possible.
