Yesterday, we got a sneak peek at the cover of Entertainment Weekly’s Comic Con issue which featured Spider-Man facing-off with Electro, giving us our first good look at Electro and the costume he’ll be wearing. Today, we have a bunch of new images from The Amazing Spider-Man 2, courtesy EW (gallery below).
Featuring shots of Spidey in action, Electro looking menacing, The Rhino struggling with a bout of road rage, and Gwen smiling, these photos really give us our first official clear glances at the film, especially regarding Electro. Frankly, I like the look of Electro. I think this villain may be one of the more difficult to adapt to a Spider-Man movie world and I think they have done a bang-up job with his look. He actually looks like a guy who got jolted with electricity (the burned ears) and is now empowered by it (the cool lighting effects) – yet, he’s still recognizable as the Electro from the comics, namely Ultimate Spider-Man.
Also, I’m really digging Spider-Man’s costume changes. The bigger eyes, the darker tones (though, I quite liked the lighter colors of the previous film’s costume), and the lack of sneaker-looking boots. For me, it really conveys a look that Peter has grown up a bit since the first film and perhaps has started to settle into his role as a superhero – and every hero needs a well-put-together costume.
I really enjoyed the first film, despite some of its issues and the fact that we, once again, had to endure his origin story. I am very much looking forward to what’s in store for us when Spider-Man tangles with some more villains in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 when it hits theaters on May 2, 2014!
