**Update: **Two extra pics have now shown up, one a tribute to a classic Spidey pose, the other a shot of Garfield and Stone at school. You can see them in the gallery.
Looking to keep The Amazing Spider-Man in our festively blurred noggins over this quiet period between Christmas and New Year, Sony has shoved out a few new pictures from the film on to the web.
Focusing mostly on Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield)’s early days as the web-shooting hero, the new images feature him discovering his new found powers and going a little bit **Teen Wolf **on the high school basketball court. There is also a nice, close look at the mechanical web system he’ll be using, a switch back to the character’s roots before more recent comic runs – and Sam Raimi’s cinematic version – had them as organic developments.
Also pictured is Emma Stone’s Gwen Stacey looking academic and her father, police chief George Stacey (Denis Leary).
But if you were hoping for new images of Rhys Ifans as Dr Curt Connors – whose scientific tinkering leads him to become this movie’s big bad, The Lizard, – you’ll have to look elsewhere. We’d suggest the latest issue of Empire, which is in stores now, and features not just Spidey, but also The Avengers, Dredd, The Hobbit, **The Hunger Games **and loads more...
The film will be out on July 4, 2012.
