Ever since Sam Raimi stepped away from directing Spider-man 4, we’ve known the franchise would be getting a reboot, but what we didn’t know was what the film would be called. However now Sony has announced the official and it will be – The Amazing Spider-man.
It’s not too much of a surprise as the first comic book based around the character was also called The Amazing Spider-man when it launched in 1963, helping to turn the web-slinger into one of the most popular characters around. As well as the name, Sony also released the first image of the new Spider-man in full costume, including the mask, and it has to be said, while pretty similar to the costume worn by Tobey Maguire (but then, there’s not too much they could have done with it), it does look pretty cool.
