So apparently this poster for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was just hanging out in a casino/theater bathroom in Las Vegas.
1st off Sony if you don't want this stuff to leak before your trailer reveal on Dec 5th don't distribute goodies like this to your theater promoters before your huge reveal.
2nd: It looks as though Sony is going the Ultimate comic route with there Rhino design. Is this because Sony feels that the actual Rhino suit from the 616 Universe/90's spider-man cartoon is to campy for film or is this another case of we are going to mess with the formula you are used to because we can and you will see the film anyway?
When Amazing Spidey 2 was revealed to the masses I was excited (being a huge spidey fan myself) but then the strange announcements started coming in. Jamie Foxx as Electro, Paul Giamatti as Rhino and some no name as Norman Osborne (lets also not forget the potential of Mary J Watson being gender swapped). I was uneasy with these decisions as a fan. Not to say that these gentleman cannot handle the acting chops (its a comic book movie acting usually isn't a factor but nice when good acting actually happens: See The Avengers for proof.) but I just found them to be odd choices. Why Jamie Foxx an Oscar winner as Electro who is 3rd tier Villain at best. Wouldn't he better suited in a larger role (shoot I would have settled for him as Kraven the Hunter)? Maybe I am looking into this too deeply but I can't help it I am a fanboy when it comes to these films and the venom portrayal in spidey 3 still has a piece of my soul and not in a good way.
In Closing I guess my biggest fear is the spider-man 3 syndrome. To many villains on screen at one time and a story that is all over the place because of it. I hope I am wrong in my feelings because what I have seen so far has me intrigued. Especially since there has been talk of this leading to the Sinister Six teaming up against Mr. Parker in the next film...May 2nd will be the judge of this rebooted franchises potential. Until then my spidey sense is tingling.
Sound off let us/me know how you feel....
