It’s a full-on reboot this summer for one of Hollywood’s biggest grossing movie franchises ever. Spider-Man returns this July with the brand new The Amazing Spider-Man. It’s been 5 years since Tobey Maguire last donned the Spider-Man costume in Spider-Man 3. Now Marvel reboots the franchise with Andrew Garfield in the lead role.
There is also a new director for The Amazing Spider-Man: Marc Webb takes over, directing his first ever mega budget F/X extravaganza. Other new actors in ths new Spidey include Martin Sheen, Sally Field, Emma Stone, Gwen Stacy. The new villian in this movie is The Lizard, played by Rhys Ifans. The early word says Lizard os more complicated villain than we’ve seen in past Spider-Man films.
The stakes with The Amazing Spider-Man are extremely high for Sony Studios. Pull it off and reinvigorate the franchise, and billions in revenues can be made and set up new sequels. Drop the ball on this movie, and the Comic-Con fans will rip this to shreds.
Turns out that Batman isn’t the only superhero that can make headlines this week. Fresh on the heels of the first teaser trailer for The Dark Knight Rises, we’ve also got the first trailer from 2012′s The Amazing Spider-Man. Director Marc Webb is giving us a Spider-Man reboot, starring Andrew Garfield as the webslinger Peter Parker, along with Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans and Martin Sheen. Blake Lively, Jon Hamm and Chris Cooper.
Coming to theatres on July 22nd: Captain America: The First Avenger. This movie is a bit of a prequel, setting up the first character in 2012′s mega-superhero movie from Marvel – The Avengers. Captain America takes place in the WW II era, while The Avengers will take place in present day.
Chris Evans stars in the lead role. This isn’t Evans’ first gig as a superhero, previously playing the Human Torch in the Fantastic Four film series. Hugo Weaving and Tommy Lee Jones also star. The plot will focus on The First Avenger battling the Red Skull, a Nazi weapons genius. Director Joe Johnson states the film won’t be USA propaganda but we should note that “Captain America” is being dropped from the film’s title in some foreign marketplaces.
Definitely one of the most anticipated movies of Summer 2011 will be Captain America: The First Avenger. Coming to theatres worldwide on July 22nd, Chris Evans stars in the lead role on this latest Marvel Comics superhero movie. This is not Evans’ first superhero gig either, having already acted in the Fantastic Four films.
