Recent “Amazing Spider-Man” reshoots have yielded a surprising crop of new stills from the Manhattan-based movie, and they may be some of the most revealing yet.
The shots, collected by photo database Newscom as well as Daily Mail, were spread across a few surprisingly plot-significant scenes, and feature images likely to be memorable take-aways from the film.
There are candid “off time” snaps of stars Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone strolling hand in hand, more of Garfield as Peter Parker walking slickly through NYC streets, and a few of Garfield with a tissue up his nose (who hasn’t done that?), but those aren't the ones we find most interesting.
» What is presumably a preemptive Spider-Man suit covered Garfield, or more likely a stunt double, during one zip-lining scene. (See above!)
» Doctor Curt Connors, played by Rhys Ifans, examines his goopy new regenerated hand in another photo.
» Although one criminal is secured in front of Dennis Leary’s Police Captain Stacy via Spidey’s webs, he is also rendered insecure, no doubt, by a massive web-controlled wedgie. This particular glimpse is extremely significant—pointing to a familiar sense of Spider-Man humor many fans regarded as absent from Sam Raimi’s “Spider-Man” trifecta. Rejoice!
