Here’s Jamie Foxx As The Amazing Spider-Man 2′s Electro. It’s Weird. You’ve Been Warned.

by Jill Pantozzi | 11:21 am, April 16th, 2013

Well we already knew they weren’t going to make Jamie Foxx dress up in a yellow and green supervillain costume for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 but I’m not sure this is what anyone expected Electro to look like. Those lights might be tracking dots with the added value of creating some electric glow to help with post-production but what do you think of the look? Looks like they’re taking the mutated villain route again. I’m assuming this is an in between look and that he’ll have a full costume later in the film.

Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy Get Badly Lip Read; Eat Each Other’s Pets

by Susana Polo | 1:12 pm, March 7th, 2013

Bad Lip Reading still delivers, even on such a simple premise. The folks in their videos should really stop eating family pets, though, no matter how exotic.

And seriously, Peter, stop being a jerk about Gwen’s wooden leg and make the girl some nachos to apologize.

Will Paul Giamatti Be A Secondary Villain For The Amazing Spider-Man 2?

by Jill Pantozzi | 11:00 am, January 29th, 2013

Paul Giamatti has played villains before but if talks for him joining The Amazing Spider-Man sequel go through, he could find himself connecting with his animal instincts.

A Video Tribute to Amazing Spider-Man #700 [VIDEO]

by Rebecca Pahle | 1:20 pm, December 27th, 2012

MTV Geek! has put together this video tribute to Amazing Spider-Man #700, featuring several persons involved in the comic (including writer Dan Slott), Stan Lee (of course), Norman Reedus (I approve), and several of the cast members of Jersey Shore. Well… they are on an MTV show, so that makes sense… I guess.

Anyway. Fair warning: Do not watch this if you have not already read Amazing Spider-Man #700. Don’t even click the jump, as the preview frame of the video tells you what happens.

There are going to be spoilers in the comments, too.

Basically, if you A) haven’t read it or B) don’t already know what happens, click away from this story right now lest ye be spoiled.

Andrew Garfield to Don the Spandex Suit Again in The Amazing Spider-Man Sequel

by Rebecca Pahle | 12:55 pm, September 29th, 2012

Was there ever any doubt? As of yesterday, floppy-haired Peter Parker Andrew Garfield has officially signed on star in the sequel to The Amazing Spider-Man. Also announced is the return of director Marc Webb, which was in doubt due to Webb being contractually obligated to direct a film for Fox. But all that’s been worked out (dare we say… untangled?) now.
