New Amazing Spider-Man 2 Trailer is Pretty Spectacular!
Check out the new trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and try to spot all the great Easter Eggs and general awesomeness!
This was definitely one of the best superhero trailers I’ve seen in a long time. The action is superb, the characters look fantastic, and the focus is clearly on Spider-Man and the trails he faces in the new movie. Electro, Rhino and Green Goblin all look brilliant, and did you catch the quick cameos from he Vulture and Doctor Octopus? It was just their gear in display cases, but still!
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 looks great so far. I cannot wait for this film!
Why This Film Isn’t Called ‘302’ I Will Never Know
Behold the second trailer for 300: Rise of an Empire!
I’ve gotta be honest…I’m pretty lukewarm about this trailer. I loved 300 with a deafening passion, and watch it still frequently today. The stylized action and violence was epic, and it made me think Zack Snyder would do great on Man of Steel (boy, was I wrong). But this sequel just looks weaker, like it’s just a cheap knock-off of 300 – which it very well could be. I’m not entirely sure what’s happening in that trailer, whereas 300 had a very clear purpose and story. I fear 300: Rise of an Empire is going to be a bit sub-plot heavy and muddled. But we’ll see.
Wonder Woman Rumors Were True! An Actress has Been Cast!
The rumors that Wonder Woman would be in the upcoming Superman/Batman movie were proven true today when Warner Bros. announced they had cast actress Gal Gadot!
I’ve never heard of her, but the Internet says this is Gadot:
Gadot has apparently had some supporting roles in a few Fast & Furious movies, none of which I’ve seen, so I can’t comment on her acting ability or screen presence. But just the fact that Wonder Woman will be in the movie exciting! Plus this probably means those rumors about Dick Grayson being in the movie are also true! That is stupendous!
This news is so cool that I’m willingly ignoring the fact that I didn’t like Man of Steel at all!
Director Zack Snyder had this to say about Gadot:
Wonder Woman is arguably one of the most powerful female characters of all time and a fan favorite in the DC Universe. Not only is Gal an amazing actress, but she also has that magical quality that makes her perfect for the role. We look forward to audiences discovering Gal in the first feature film incarnation of this beloved character.
So what does everyone else think? Wonder Woman’s going to get a cameo appearance in a Superman/Batman movie before starring in her own much-desired film. Is this a good move or silly? I think it’s pretty cool.
Higher Quality Spider-Man 2 Picture
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 poster from last week has been officially released online with crystal clear images of Rhino and Green Goblin.

Rhino looks mostly awesome, for what he is. I’m not sold, yet, on the idea that he’s a literal robotic rhinoceros instead of a guy in a big suit, but I’m keeping an open mind. The Green Goblin, however, looks stupid. It’s the hair, the hair looks ridiculous. There’s a reason why the Green Goblin in the comics doesn’t have hair. That’s the reason. Right there.
Also, here’s the official plot synopsis:
We’ve always known that Spider-Man’s most important battle has been within himself: the struggle between the ordinary obligations of Peter Parker and the extraordinary responsibilities of Spider-Man. But in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Peter Parker finds that a greater conflict lies ahead.
It’s great to be Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield). For Peter Parker, there’s no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen (Emma Stone). But being Spider-Man comes at a price: only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New Yorkers from the formidable villains that threaten the city. With the emergence of Electro (Jamie Foxx), Peter must confront a foe far more powerful than he. And as his old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, Peter comes to realize that all of his enemies have one thing in common: OsCorp.
I think I am most looking forward to seeing Rhino in this movie.
First Leaked Look at Rhino and Green Goblin in Amazing Spider-Man 2!
The internet being what it is, some industrious Twitterer found a poster in a movie theater for Amazing Spider-Man 2 that features both Rhino and Green Goblin. The two villains have never before been seen by the public! So this is pretty awesome.
With great box office, comes better costuming
Buuuuut just in case you don’t want to get spoiled, I’ve posted the pictures after the jump. You can find them there!
