But unlike those other two comic book blockbusters, a far better quality version has emerged within 24 hours of the first leak, providing a decent preview glimpse of one of next year’s biggest movies.

Emma Stone, star of Easy A and Zombieland has opened up about her role in the forthcoming Spider-Man reboot. Stone will play Gwen Stacy to Andrew Garfield’s Peter Parker. In comics continuity Gwen Stacy was one of Peter Parker’s first loves, and she met a tragic end at the hands of Spider-Man’s enemy the Green Goblin. Bryce Dallas Howard played a version of the character in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3, though she didn’t have a whole lot to do, which is not going to be the case for Stone’s Gwen Stacy because this time around the character is the female lead.

Emma Stone will play Spider-Man’s love interest Gwen Stacy in the upcoming reboot of the franchise, in which Andrew Garfield will star. You may be unfamilliar with the name Gwen Stacy if you’ve not read the comics, but the character did appear as a love rival in Spider-Man 3, where she was played by Bryce Dallas Howard. In the Marvel universe Gwen Stacy was Parker’s first true love, before being killed by the Green Goblin.

Just in case you haven’t heard, Andrew Garfield has been announced as the new Spider-Man for the upcoming reboot. So you already knew all this, but guess what, Spidey is getting paid peanuts- a mere $500,000 for the first film and then rising for any sequels. Let’s put that into context

When this post was first published we were looking at the potential villains for Spider-Man 4. Then Sony pulled the plug on Tobey Maguire and turned it into a Spider-Man reboot. But the question remains the same – who are the villains in the next Spider-Man going to be?

Here’s a picture gallery of the options (that haven’t been used yet), with a short explanation of who they are.

Not only is the webslinger definately returning to screens, but Sam Raimi might still be returning in a director’s role.

The comic nerd spoke to Coming Soon and had this to say:

“James Vanderbilt is writing the script and I’m excited to read it. I think it’s going to be done in a few months. I’m hoping it’s as great as our discussions were about it and I’m hoping it feels right for me because I love Spider-Man. I’m hoping I’m well rested enough to embrace it and I’m hoping Sony wants me to do it. If all of those things come together, I would love to do it.”

Sounds good, but will the actors be replaced?

“I’d hate to re-cast anybody in the future, I can’t imagine that.”

Meanwhile, J.K. Simmons, aka J. Jonah Jameson, spoke to IESB with this bit of news:

“We don’t know where. We don’t know when. We don’t know who. We don’t know anything, y’know? They signed all of us for the first three films. Sam, Tobey, all the way down the line to me and, we’ll see where it goes. I also, I mean, it’s all conjecture and you guys probably know more than I do at this point. There was talk of doing four and five concurrently and I don’t know if they’re still considering that or not and, y’know, I spoke to Tobey in, I guess it was February…sort of awards season time and, y’know, he’s certainly amenable to doing some more and hopefully we’ll be able to get everybody back and make another good one.”

But having used up all of the franchise’s best villains in films 1 – 3, where is left to go? My vote’s for the Hypno Hustler.
