As we mentioned earlier in the week, Andrew Garfield made quite an impression before Sony’s The Amazing Spider-Man panel, but did the panel itself impress as much as the man who will be Peter Parker did? Hit the jump for all the details.

Sony has released the first trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man. Directed by Marc Webb, The Amazing Spider-Man stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Campbell Scott, Irrfan Khan, Martin Sheen, and Sally Field. The film is set to release in 3D on July 3, 2012.

Yesterday, Sony Pictures released the official title, release date and costume picture for Marc Webb‘s upcoming Spider-Man reboot. The Amazing Spider-Man opens on July 3, 2012 and is currently being filmed in 3D. The press released listed the film’s official cast as Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Campbell Scott, Irrfan Khan, Martin Sheen, and Sally Field.

Sony also released a brand new image of Spidey’s costume which offers a fuller look at the over all design of the suit, including the mask.

The more I hear about this relaunch, the more excited I get. I believe that The Amazing Spider-Man is in good hands and will have a great cast to bring a fresh take on everyone’s favorite webhead.

Of course, we’d love to hear your thoughts, so sound off in the comments below!

So, I’m sure those of us who have combed over the entire Andrew Garfield Spidey suit in the new image that was released have noticed the shiny silver disc-like objects on his wrists. This led to speculation all over the web that the reboot will provide Peter Parker with webshooters instead of it being an organic addition to his superhuman abilities, a creation of the Tobey McGuire trilogy.

More after the break!

Sony Pictures just released the first official photo of Andrew Garfield in his brand new Spider-Man costume. Side by side comparisons with Tobey Maguire’s costume from the previous trilogy show a more intricate design, rubbery material, an inset logo and darker colors for Garfield’s Spider-Man. My first reaction while favorable, was that it looks as if Nike had designed a Spider-Man costume. As the released photo shows Garfield’s Peter Parker de-masked, I am quite curious to see the mask that goes with this new costume design. What are your thoughts on Garfield as Spider-Man and the new costume? Sound off in the comments below.
