In clearly exciting news, we are hearing that the debut trailer for next year’s THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN is going to be attached to selected prints of CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER, Marvel’s big summer 2011 movie. Entertainment Weekly report the news of the most anticipated trailer of the year (bar THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, for which we know a bootleg appeared online yesterday, but we refuse to post it).
Here’s some more Spidey info courtesy of the mag. Check back at THN soon for the full trailer. We hear it’s a whopper at 2 and a half minutes long!
EW can also exclusively confirm that Rhys Ifans will be playing Doc Conners, who, in an experiment gone wrong, transforms into one of Spider-Man’s most formidable foes ever, the Lizard.
Four years after Spider-Man 3, starring Tobey Maguire, The Amazing Spider-Man promises to be a “more contemporary,” “more gritty,” and “more character-driven” look at the comic book hero. He’s a hero the 27-year-old Garfield knows well. Growing up, “I related to Peter Parker [Spidey’s alter ego] so much because I felt like someone else inside,” he says. “I loved the comic books and the animated TV series and I even dressed up as Spider-Man as a kid.”
Adds Webb: “Ultimately what this movie is about is a kid who grows up looking for his father and finds himself. And that’s a Spider-Man story we haven’t seen before.”
