No, you’re not reading that headline wrong because Hans Zimmer, the main man behind some of the best soundtracks and compositions for the big screen is back, but this time with a musical supergroup that includes Pharrell Williams, Johnny Marr, Michael Einziger and Dave Stewart for THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2.
Zimmer had this to say:
“Marc and I were talking about Spider-Man, and as the word got out, so many of our friends and musicians started calling us up, wanting to be a part of it, because they love Spider-Man. That was the thing that united all of us – the great love for Spider-Man. With all of these hugely talented people wanting to join us, it was Marc who said, ‘Why not start a band?’ Marc and I have had a great start jamming with everybody, and we still have a few surprises up our sleeve.”
Intriguing stuff! I still think this reboot for Spidey was a bit too soon after that dreadful end and all the emo but Garfield was a good choice and gave it a little stability. I’m hoping that they do a lot better with the new character representation after promising so much with The Lizard and really not coming through. Anyway, the music side sounds a lot of fun and hopefully not too GODZILLA in the late 90’s.
THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 will be released in theaters domestically on May 2, 2014, and international release dates commence April 16, 2014.

You’re calling out Spider-Man 3 on “the emo” yet you’re rooting for Garfield?! It makes no sense.
