    Andrew Garfield On THE SINISTER SIX: "I Know More Than I'm Allowed To Say."


    In April this year, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 swung into theatres and grossed over $700 million worldwide. While becoming the lowest grossing film in the franchise, the film still managed to make over $500 million overseas, making it the second highest grossing Spider-Man film overseas, just behind Spider-Man 3. Following Sony's "disappointment" in the sequel's performance, it was revealed that Drew Goddard's Sinister Six film had been moved up to November 2016, seemingly replacing The Amazing Spider-Man 3.

    The Toronto Sun were lucky enough to check out Spider-Man star, Andrew Garfield's latest film 99 Homes in which he stars as a man who is evicted from his home by a greedy real estate agent. Garfield spilled some small details regarding 2016's Sinister Six revealing that, like many of us, he is "Really excited about Drew Goddard... And whether I'm apart of that or not is immaterial." If that cock-tease wasn't enough, Garfield went on to say "I don't know if I should say anything right now, but [Drew] Goddard is really exciting."

    Before concluding the interview, Andrew revealed a little something to get the fans even more excited for the villain team-up. Saying, "I know more than I'm allowed to say right now." Garfield also promised the film would be filled with "twists" much like Goddard's debut feature, Cabin In The Woods. Andrew concluded the interview by touching on the twist section, saying "Hence, me not telling you s--t about that."

    The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is out now on Blu-Ray and DVD combo pack!

    RUMOUR: Irrfan Khan Set To Play Villain In THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 3


    Let the rumours begin. Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man 2 just recently crossed $450 million worldwide, but with every success, comes an inevitable sequel, or in this case, threequel. The Hindustan Times have revealed an interesting rumour regarding Marc Webb's third Spider-Man film. You guys remember Irrfan Khan? The dude from The Amazing Spider-Man? You know the one who was eaten by The Lizard in the deleted scenes, has apparently been contacted by Marc Webb and Sony to discuss a role in the third film. 

    Now, this rumour is quite interesting. Khan's character was (in the theatrical cut) saved by Spider-Man and never seen/heard of again, so it is interesting to hear this rumour regarding his character returning as a "full-fledged villain." Back before The Amazing Spider-Man started shooting, Khan's character was believed to be The Proto Goblin, but that story line was dropped for unexplained reasons. Khan even commented on the rumour saying, "I don’t know about it (his role). Their film is still in ­theatres. I think now they will finalise the script and decide other things.”  

    It will be very interesting to see if Khan joins The Amazing Spider-Man 3, and I would be extremely happy to see his character return as the Indian star is one of the most underrated actors in the world. You can next see Khan in next year's Jurassic World.

    Andrew Garfield On THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2: "Screw The Critics."


    With its release date coming ever so quickly, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 has easily become the must see movie of the summer. It is to no surprise that 2012's The Amazing Spider-Man was nowhere near as good as it really could have been, as both Marc Webb and Sony producers have said they should have done something a little more different. But alas, we have the much anticipated sequel, set to hit theatres everywhere on April 17th if you live in Australia and if you don't, sucked in. 


    Earlier this week IGN sat down with Andrew Garfield to discuss the film and how different it is to its' predecessor. Garfield touched on the original film's unoriginality by saying, "Obviously with the first film we were obligated to retreading the origin story, which Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire did so beautifully," Garfield continued, "But now that's done, and now we get to own the character as filmmakers and as Peter, you know what I mean? I'm super excited, I mean it was much more fun to make because of that, I think." Following these thoughts Garfield interestingly said something that every Spider-Man fan has been saying ever since Garfield's first outing, "Screw the critics... I mean screw the scrutiny and that's the motto of life aswell. If there was one bit of advise I could give to my younger self, it's 'don't care what others think of you'." 



    Mr Garfield also touched on Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan) and Peter Parker's friendship in the film. Garfield said, "The bond is really deep. It goes deeper than being childhood friends. There is this intertwined thing that they have after they both lost their parents," The Golden Globe nominated actor continued, "Their relationship is really built on abandonment and this lack of a father figure is what leads to them having compassion and understanding for each other. It's a complicated relationship, but it's a grounded one." 


    You can check out the full interview in the video below. Andrew Garfield and his on and off screen love, Emma Stone, will appear on The Graham Norton Show on April 11th on BBC 1.

    The Green Goblin Or David Bowie? New THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 Image Released!

    Today, Sony released a 'final' trailer for next month's The Amazing Spider-Man 2. But that final trailer has not stopped the marketing at all for this film. Revealed via YouTube's SevenWebHeads, a new photo of Dane DeHaan as Harry Osborn/The Green Goblin has been released. Showing off the incomplete (?) costume and revealing a very devious smile. Now I have to say, am I the only one who thinks this Goblin has a striking resemblance to David Bowie? Come on, it's uncanny! Oh yeah, you know he looks like Bowie, even Marc Webb knows that, Dane DeHaan needs to play David Bowie. Get on it Hollywood.



    The latest film in the Spider-Man saga stars: Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Dane DeHaan, Jamie Foxx, Sally Field, Paul Giamatti and Colm Feore. The film is set for a April 17th release in Australia and New Zealand, while American's must wait until May 2nd.

    Marc Webb Will NOT Direct THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 4

    Image Credit: WeGotThisCovered
    In only a four weeks, countries around the world will see Spider-Man back on the big screen in this year's The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Earlier this year, Sony Pictures revealed that they will indeed continue the Spider-Man franchise after the sequel this year, announcing dates for a third and fourth film. Last week Marc Webb confirmed that he will return to the director's chair for 2016's The Amazing Spider-Man 3 but today, in an interview with The Daily Beast, the director confirms that TASM 3 will indeed be his last. Marc touched on the topic of TASM 4 by saying,"I’d like to be involved as a consultant, and I’ve already talked to these guys about it, but in terms of directing it, that will close out my tenure. I’ve had so much fun doing it, but after the third movie, it’ll be the time to find something else." 


    However, I would take these comments with a grain of salt, do you guys and gals remember when Michael Bay discussed directing Transformers: Age Of Extinction? Marc Webb also confirmed that we would be seeing a certain someone become a major villain in this film, spoilers ahead. Webb revealed that Harry Osborn will indeed become The Green Goblin in this film, despite what many assumed to be a prototype. Webb said "Yeah. There will be some "creature of the night" popping up." The question still remains, what will Norman's Goblin look like, if this is indeed The Green Goblin? Ultimate Goblin anyone?

    As well as discussing Harry Osborn and the fourth film, The Daily Beast also got Webb to touch on the ever present 'Shailene Factor'. This problem came up back in August of last year when it was revealed that Shailene Woodley's role as Mary-Jane Watson was completely cut form the film. When trailers hit for the film, many fans (myself included) spotted a shot of Shailene, however the director does again confirm that she is not in the film. Webb said, "It was just Peter seeing Mary Jane once or twice next door. Shai was only there for a couple of days and it was a very minor part. But I love Shai. She was fantastic in "The Spectacular Now" which was a script I was attached to direct for a long to. She was really cool about it and understood it, and actually suggested it in some ways.




    You can check out the full interview in the link above, Marc also discusses the usual comparison between Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 2 and his The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Plus Webb gives some advise to any young, aspiring directors.
