Columbia Pictures in association with Sony Pictures has officially announced the title of their upcoming Spider-Man reboot, being directed by Marc Webb.

Seeing as how Sam Raimi and company used the simple Spider-Man for their titles, it should come as no great shock that this time around they’re going with a nod to the comic books of old, titling the first in the planned franchise The Amazing Spider-Man.

The movie stars Andrew Garfield (The Social Network, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus) as Peter Parker/Spidey, Emma Stone (Zombieland, Easy A) as Gwen Stacy, Rhys Ifans (Notting Hill, The Replacements) as Dr. Curt Connors/Lizard, Martin Sheen (Apocalypse Now, The Departed) as Uncle Ben, and Sally Field (Forrest Gump, Mrs. Doubtfire) as Aunt May.

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.
