First image of the new Spidey


The very first official image of Andrew Garfield in (almost) full costume as the web-slinging superhero, Spider-Man, has been released by Sony Pictures and Columbia Pictures, and it may just ease any worries you might have.

Spider-Man, which is directed by (500) Days of Summer helmer Marc Webb, is the fastest reboot of a major film property we’ve seen. It was decided to start over after things went south on the production of Spider-Man 4 just a little over a year ago to this day.

Not long after that, we found out that Sony would be doing another origins story, starting with Peter Parker in high school before obtaining his powers instead of picking up with a new story within the mythos. This news was frowned upon even further when fans heard that 27-year-old Garfield was cast in the role, making his teenage character harder to swallow (even though Tobey Maguire was right around the same age at the time).

Still early days, but I can't see this reboot performing anywhere near as successfully as the recent trilogy. I'm expecting Incredible Hulk numbers or a tad higher for it to be honest ($150M-$180M).
