The very first official image of Andrew Garfield in (almost) full costume as the web-slinging superhero, Spider-Man, has been released by Sony Pictures and Columbia Pictures, and it may just ease any worries you might have.

Spider-Man, which is directed by (500) Days of Summer helmer Marc Webb, is the fastest reboot of a major film property we’ve seen. It was decided to start over after things went south on the production of Spider-Man 4 just a little over a year ago to this day. Not long after that, we found out that Sony would be doing another origins story, starting with Peter Parker in high school before obtaining his powers instead of picking up with a new story within the mythos. This news was frowned upon even further when fans heard that 27-year-old Garfield was cast in the role, making his teenage character harder to swallow (even though Tobey Maguire was right around the same age at the time).

Now, with the arrival of this new image of Garfield in his Spidey suit (without the mask, sadly), all skepticism and worry should be calmed. The actor looks perfectly fine as the hero, and the suit looks pretty fantastic…albeit beat up. You can see the full image right now by continuing on below and clicking away.

Some spy images from the set of Sony Pictures and Columbia Pictures reboot of their Spider-Man franchise have shown up online.

Nothing worth going wacky over in these pictures, but if you’re excited about this new Spidey venture and the castings that have been announced so far, these might be for you. They show star Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker and Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy sitting in some bleachers at what looks like a high school football field. This is the first look at Garfield as Parker and well…it looks like Andrew Garfield hanging out on some bleachers, so perhaps not the best look we’ll get.

You can see some of the first pictures of Garfield and Stone in director Marc Webb‘s Spider-Man by clicking on over to the other side now (more can be found at the source link below). There’s even one of the duo sharing a smooch, you know, for you lovey-dovey type movie fans that are into that sorta thing.

Here we have yet another interesting casting announcement. According to reports, stand-up comedian and Rescue Me star Denis Leary is currently working out the dirty details to finalize his joining the cast of the upcoming Spider-Man reboot.

Leary will be playing Captain George Stacy, police officer and father to Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) love interest Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone). At the moment, it’s still unclear how faithful to Marvel’s comic book storylines the movie will be, but it’s expected that Leary’s character will have his fair share of interactions with Spider-Man.

*UPDATED BELOW*

A new name has joined the cast of the new Spider-Man reboot being developed by Sony Pictures Entertainment and Columbia Pictures, and that name is Martin Sheen.

It’s being reported that Sheen is now in final negotiations to sign on for the pivotal role of Uncle Ben, who along with Aunt May, raised Peter Parker. As we’ve seen many times over, it’s the murder of Uncle Ben at the hands of a criminal that sets Parker off toward becoming the superhero, Spider-Man.

Sheen joins an already impressive cast that includes Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, Emma Stone as Spider-Man’s love interest, Gwen Stacy, and Rhys Ifans as one of the film’s villains, The Lizard.

Yet another casting has been announced by Sony Pictures and Columbia Pictures for their much-buzzed and immediate reboot of the Spider-Man franchise. This time around, it’s been revealed who will be playing the crucial villain role.

Sony announced that Rhys Ifans will be their villain in the new movie, facing off against Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield), and his love interest Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone). The only thing about the announcement is that the studio has decided to keep exactly who Ifans will be playing a big secret. This should go over well with fans who are dying to know who the big baddie in this new take on the Marvel comic book superhero would be.
