Our Spidey senses were tingling after being introduced to some brand new footage of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 at this year’s Comic-Con. The sequel is upping the stakes in all areas and lead man Andrew Garfield gave the lowdown on what he loves about bringing the web slinger to life:
“What I’ve really enjoyed on this one is the dynamic between Spider-Man and Peter, and how they’re really two different people at this point, and how the alter ego has overtaken and is not allowing Peter to really function,” he told us, buzzing with nervous energy.
“Peter’s always short-wiring in his life, whereas there’s a great relief in putting on the suit and mask. The anonymity of that and the freedom of expression.”
Garfield’s eagerness to portray Spidey in a believable light more true to the comic book source material is something that gives the rebooted series an air of freshness, with his likeable humour a welcome addition to the role. Joining the cast for the sequel s Jamie Foxx as the supercharged villain Electo, seen below in the Comic-Con teaser.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 opens in the UK on 18 April 2014.
