Spider-Man Movie Reboot First Look: Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man

Spider-Man Movie Reboot First Look: Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man

The internet is a buzz with our very first look at Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man in Sony’s upcoming Spider-Man reboot. Personally, I LOVE the new costume! To me, it looks a lot more like what I envision Spider-Man’s duds would look like in real life. Sam Raimi’s version was definitely a lot sleeker, but it wasn’t as realistic in my mind (I know, I know, none of this is realistic but whatever).

It’s interesting to note that it appears Garfield is wearing web slingers under his costume. This means the film will be based off Peter Parker’s original origin story from Marvel Comics, in which he built mechanical web slingers to enhance his new found powers. On the one hand, I really like that Marc Webb is utilizing one of Spidey’s trademark gadgets, but I think the organic web slingers made more sense and were easier to explain. Either way, here’s hoping this Spider-Man movie is more like the first and no where near as bad as the third!
