If seeing the Williamsburg Bridge blow up in the new Dark Knight trailer simply did not quench your thirst for NYC-destruction this week (and you don't feel like battling the crowds to see The Avengers), the new trailer for the Marc Webb-helmed reboot of the Spider-Man franchise should help. Mr. Lizard, tear that skyscraper antenna down!
Other things of note in there? As in the last trailer it really does seem that Tony-award nominee Andrew Garfield's wallcrawler is the wisecracking webslinger we grew to love from the comics. But at the same time the idea that Peter Parker becoming Spider-Man had something to do with his dead parents and not just fate has us a wee bit concerned. Related: not nearly enough Martin Sheen as Uncle Ben. And yet? We'll probably still bite. That Lizard looks interesting.
Meanwhile, we'd like to point out that with the number of superhero movies coming out these days bringing serious mayhem to the streets of New York, it is seriously about time for Marvel to bring to the big screen its 1980s series Damage Control—which focused on the fictional construction company that cleans up after the action is over. Now that is a movie we would see.
