Sony Announces THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN and New Pic

Fans have been waiting a long time to hear what the Spider-Man movie reboot was going to be titled and today Sony has made that announcement……… drum roll……… The Amazing Spider-Man! Well, I guess that I didn’t need the drum roll and suspenseful periods since the title was in the post, but I was super excited to see it and felt it needed a little build. It looks like Sony will be borrowing a page from Warner Bros. by having the title be something off the page of a comic title i.e. Superman: Man of Steel. With the news we also got this nifty picture that has Andrew Garfield in full costume.

Below we have the picture and Sony’s official press release:
