Andrew Garfield as Spiderman

There has been tons of talk about the reboot of Spiderman, starring Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone, being directed by Marc Webb. Finally, we get a glimpse at the wall crawler himself. The suit looks less cartoon-ey than the last one, doesn't it? Maybe a little more worn than the previous Tobey Maguire suit?

What do you think?

And Spiderman's new villain is ...

It was announced today that Rhys Ifans (the kicker in Replacements) will be the main bad guy in the Spiderman reboot opposite of Andrew Garfield's titular character. This news comes a week after it was announced Emma Stone (Easy A, Zombieland) would play the love interest, Gwen Stacey.

What was not in the announcement was what character Ifans would play. There has been tons of speculation, but no hard evidence. The most popular idea is Doctor Connors/The Lizard, but I simply don't seem Ifans play a dedicated scientist very well. My guess would be he is the guy that kills Uncle Ben and happens to have some link with Spiderman, such as being The Vulture or something along those lines. I am hoping for a Goblin-free movie, personally, but I can't think of anything else Ifans could be. Look for more information coming soon.

Who do you think Rhys Ifans could be? Do you have a villain you would like to see?

Emma Stone in Spiderman Reboot

So, a quick news tidbit for your hungry appetites today... Emma Stone, who played in Zombieland, and who is fresh out of Easy A, is set to star as Gwen Stacey opposite Andrew Garfield in the reboot of Spiderman.

The story is said to revolve around a younger Spiderman than in the last movie. Apparently, Peter Parker and the gang are still in high school during the movie, which makes more drama as Parker tries to juggle the CW-ism, along with being a super hero. Gwen Stacey, you'll remember made an appearance in the third film, played by Bryce Dallas Howard. Stacey is the unachievable woman that Parker can't ever quite get with, mainly due to his wall-crawling duties getting in the way.

There were also rumors about Mary Jane being in the movie, but I'm sure she won't be the main focus yet, as we've all had plenty of the redhead.

So, I think Emma Stone is adorable, and she clearly is on fire with some great performances back to back, but I'm still not sure about a Spiderman reboot. I don't think we need one yet, nor do I think Garfield can pull off a high school looking Peter Parker. But, I've been wrong once or twice before, so what do you think? Ready for the reboot? The hot Emma Stone?

Who should play Peter Parker/Spiderman in the reboot?

Fantasy Casting time!!!

With the news out that Tobey Maguire and Spiderman are no longer synonomous, there is talk throughout Hollywood as to who could be next to put on the red and blue tights. There have been whispers of everyone from Zac Efron to Justin Timberlake, so lets take a look at my pick, and see if you have an idea of your own.


My pick has already solidified himself in several franchise movies already. For my pick, 2009 was a busy year, he played a young, futuristic Kyle Reese in Terminator Salvation, and was one of the only good things in that movie. He also went boldly where no one has gone before in Star Trek as Pavel Checkov. I’m talking about Charlie Bartlett himself, Anton Yelchin.

The guy clearly has some idea of how to act, and he looks like he could easily pick up a high school-era Peter Parker, which is what the film is shooting for, and he has already shown he can handle the comedy when it comes around.

I’m not a fan of a reboot, I think it’s too soon, and a terrible idea to take the character dark and gritty, but if they do, this is my pick. Anyone else have any ideas?
