Amph Spider-Man & SSU Films (Madame Web, Venom 3, Kraven, Beyond the Spider-Verse)

It's probably the same suit, but if they do headshots they simply change the eyes. Not sure why they couldn't just have gone for tinted lenses like they did in the previous movie.

Paul Giamatti looks like he's saying "Hey! I'm da Rhino over heah!" in some of those shots.

 

I'm still just super happy the webbing on the suit is black. *sigh of relief* I knew it bothered me before, but I didn't realize how much until they gave me this gift.

 

So...what are we looking at here? The Rhino wearing a rocket pack?


EDIT -- Also...child in danger while dressed as hero.

We've seen this before.

 

I wondered if it might be an exoskeleton, only the arms are missing because they're CGI? But I don't know.

 

RhinoCop 2.

 

Rhino looks strange for sure, but I'm sure with CGI he will look good.
Some sort of big mechanical suit makes sense if you aren't very tough or muscular in the first place and it looks cooler than wearing a real Rhino suit with your face sticking out.

 

... unless you're Smoochy. I digress.

 

Though to be quite honest, I actually prefer the Amazing Spider-Man video game's storyline in which Rhino and Scorpion were both human/animal hybrids created by OsCorp scientists following in Connors footsteps.


EDIT -- Surely they could have put some pants on Rhino, though.
I mean seriously. No way he could have walked around stark naked, as a rhinoceros penis is about five feet long.

Bastard son of Barney...

 

Uh oh, looks like it will happen sooner than we thought... the Green Goblin must be in this movie

POSSIBLY BIG SPOILER (implications from newly-released set pic)

Spoiler: Spoiler?!?!?

http://movies.yahoo.com/blogs/movie...man-2-spoiler-alert-emma-stone-181819870.html

 

It was already rumoured that

Spoiler

This movie will end with the death of Gwen Stacy (presumably at the hands of Norman Osborne), hence having Mary Jane as a handy replacement. Frankly I'm not that keen on revisiting the character so soon after he was last on film, Spidey has enough villains to do many movies before GG has to even be considered again.

 

Still, GG is THE ultimate nemesis of Spider-man, he's bound to show up sometime

I've also heard rumors that this will only be a trilogy too and, like the Ultimate Spider-Man comics, it will

Spoiler: spoiler

end with Peter Parker's death after a fight with the Goblin, and his identity exposed after death and celebrated as a hero... I guess like DKR, but actually unambiguously be dead and identity revealed

 

So....

Spoiler: And if you thought "After Earth" was bad...

Or will Aunt May sell her soul to Mephisto to prevent such a thing?

 

It seems not since Sony have apparently announced the release dates for parts 3 and 4.

Good to see a lot more Spidey happening, shame that means Marvel are unlikely to get the rights back anytime soon.

 

Yeah. I took that announcement as Sony basically admitting to Marvel they'll milk this franchise for all its worth. And if Andrew Garfield does get too old, they probably will try to use Miles. Or they'll start spinning off films like Venom, Scarlet Spider, Black Cat maybe even SpiderOck. Anything to keep the rights.

 

Really excited for The Amazing Spider-Man 2, 3 and 4

 

Spidey has so many villains that you could make movies for a long time.

But certain ones would need build-up, like say Venom. Problem in SM3 was they shoved Eddie Brock in and had him turn in the same movie, you really need to have him around as a character for several movies to create the character resentment and then make him the true threat he ought to be as Spider-Man's dark mirror.
Same with Green Goblin, it would be foolish to have him appear and go quickly given how important he is to Spider-Man's early history.
They might even try the Secret Wars stuff or go for bizarre characters like Madame Webb if they need movie material.

I don't mind spin-offs for characters like Black Cat if it's warranted (could do with more female heroes), though I'd like to see stuff with Morbius the Vampire if they decide to go there.

 

Besides the eyes, what's the difference between this and Tobey's costume?

 

That doesn't mean anything. Sony already had an announced date for Spider-Man 4 (May 6, 2011) and had hired writers for 5 and 6 before they parted ways with Sam Raimi.

 

How many villains will be in the 2nd movie?
