Well it looks like Sony's starting to feel the heat now that Marvel Studios' new Guardians of the Galaxy trailer is trending on just about every movie blog on the internet (Which includes ours), as they've made sure to keep the gears going on their own film's promotional campaign. Now it seems Sony really wants people to remember their next Spider-Man film is nearly two months away, as they've released an all new trailer for the film, which probably shows us a little more than what we actually wanted to see. Never though I'd say that about a movie based on my favorite comic book character of all time, but after a certain point, enough is enough Marc Webb.
Joking aside, here's the all new "Rise of Electro" trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man 2:
The trailer generally includes pretty much the same clips and bits of dialogue we've seen in the film's past trailers, although it might've just spoiled something many fans have been curious about. Since the first set photos of Emma Stone's Gwen Stacy were released which included her in very similar attire to what the character wore during the death of Gwen Stacy comic arc. With past footage showing us major battle sequence between Spider-Man and Dane DeHaan's Green Goblin (Who was the one that killed Gwen in the original comics), many believed this could be the end of Ms. Stacy. But sure enough, the scene many believed to be Gwen falling to her death before Spidey could catch her will apparently actually end with Spidey managing to catch her after all. So it seems Peter Parker's girl is safe for now, but will she eventually face her end in the third film?
But that of course wasn't the only bit of footage the trailer showed us, as we now have much more scenes of Electro in action, and an emphasis on how he eventually turns against the hero he once idealized. While the last Amazing Spider-Man 2 trailer we saw showed us even more of the Max Dillon character prior to his transformation into Electro, this time around we get much more of DeHaan's Harry Osborn aka the Green Goblin. This comes fresh of the heels of Sony releasing the first official picture of Green Goblin in full costume, which has left some fans frustrated over how little it resembles the character's look in the comics.
Although many fans (Including myself) have questioned the direction director Marc Webb has taken with some of Spider-Man's classic villains, it's safe to say he has a much better understanding of the hero himself this time around. We can only home The Amazing Spider-Man 2 doesn't turn into a Spider-Man 3 type of film with much more villains than it's narrative can handle. The last film suffered from many plot points left unresolved due to plans for the sequel, so we can only hope Webb doesn't focus too much on setting up for the third installment (Which he's recently been confirmed to direct) and recently announced Venom and Sinister Six spin-off films, and instead concentrates on developing the storylines and characters currently being featured in the series.
So what do you think of the new trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man 2? Are you happy with the look Marc Webb has chosen for the Green Goblin? Let us know below!
