Sony Pictures have today announced that the world premiere of THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 is set to take place in London on Thursday 10th April, ahead of its nationwide release in cinemas across the UK and Ireland on Friday 18th April.
The Odeon Cinema in Leicester Square will play host to the spectacular world premiere event. The cast and filmmakers of the highly-anticipated new movie will swing into town to lead a glittering array of star guests walking the red carpet: Spider-Man himself, British star Andrew Garfield, will be joined by a stellar line-up of fellow cast members including Emma Stone (Gwen Stacy), Jamie Foxx (Electro), and Dane DeHaan (Harry Osborn), alongside director Marc Webb and producers Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach.
A UK premiere will be a first for the nation’s favourite web-slinging superhero – never before has London hosted the global launch for a SPIDER-MAN movie. Garfield has commented, saying:
“I’m delighted to see the world premiere of THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 take place in my home town. I can’t wait to present this movie to audiences across the UK”.
In addition to the London Leicester Square premiere event, fans across the UK and Ireland will have the chance to be part of this amazing occasion, as THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 will also be shown simultaneously at 20 regional premieres.
I attended the London premiere for THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN on behalf of THN way back in June 2012 (it seems like yesterday!); it was my first official event and, boy, what a way to debut! I met Garfield, Stone and Webb – three people you definitely want to name-drop!
