What We’ve Learned About The Amazing Spider-Man 2 From The First Month Of Marc Webb’s Tweets

Twitter is a wonderful thing. It really is. It allows fans to catch a glimpse into the thoughts and day-to-day activities of their favorite actors and directors and it allows the film media an opportunity to have access to news that previously would've been impossible to get unless we were on set ourselves.

Webb Pays Attention To The Fans (And Is A Bit Of A Jerk)

March 15th. Day 29. I log into Twitter, and as I always seem to do these days, go straight to Webb’s profile. My hopes weren’t high, as the last few days had all been pictures of various crew members, not revealing anything too juicy, but then as soon as his page loaded, my heart dropped. I’m not talking a slight jump, I’m talking I had to pick it up off the ground and repair the hole in my chair from where it fell through. The words that prompted such excitement? “Black Suit.”

This was it! A picture of a black-suited Spidey. He was already going to don the black suit! I had no idea how this was going to be worked into the plot, but I didn’t care. I was so excited. This was what tons of fans wanted to see. Webb knows everyone is always speculating about it, and he’s putting the speculation to rest. It was thrilling. Until I clicked on the picture…

The picture above is what Webb tweeted. Ha frickin ha Marc. Real funny. Instead of a black-suited Spidey we get some guy at Oscorp… in a black suit. I can picture Webb sitting at his computer, hiding his giggles behind his hand as he reads all the Tweets from fans who had their excitement come crashing down. Jerk move Webb.
