Andrew Garfield kicked off his week in NYC by working on The Amazing Spider-Man 2, both yesterday and today. The actor suited up in his Spider-Man spandex on the set of the sequel yesterday, breaking to laugh at playbacks, then paired up with Shailene Woodley for today's scene. Shailene hopped on a motorcycle, with a noticeably redder shade of hair, for her role as the latest Mary Jane. She is among several new cast members signing on for The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Andrew's return to his role as Peter Parker will mark the first film he's done since the first of the franchise, and his on and off-screen love, Emma Stone, will also return to her role as Gwen Stacy.

The Amazing Spider-Man

Andrew Garfield slips into the Spidey suit in Mark Webb's new iteration of the classic superhero. In this version, Peter Parker is back in high school when he's bitten by the spider that infects him with superpowers. He needs them to combat Dr. Connors (Rhys Ifans), a onetime ally of his father's who's taken to transforming into a giant evil lizard at night. Garfield and Emma Stone (as love interest Gwen Stacy) bring new life to the franchise, though the plot may be a bit too similar to the Sam Raimi film for some viewers. The DVD comes with deleted scenes, commentary, production art, and stunt rehearsals.

This Friday, Christian Bale brings his suited-up good looks back to the big screen as Batman in The Dark Knight Rises, and we got a taste of the dashing dark knight at the film's premiere last night. And what's better than one supersexy superhero? A whole crop of them! 2012 is turning out to be superpowered hot-actor overload with Andrew Garfield showing off his spidey skills — and shirtless bod — as the star of recently released The Amazing Spider-Man, and earlier in the year with The Avengers' cast of steamy Chris Evans as Captain America, Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, and a bulked-up Chris Hemsworth as Thor. I'm all for the superheroines, but when it comes to all these swoon-worthy superheroes, sign me up for the damsel in distress role! To get in the superhero spirit, let's look at the most smoldering caped crusaders to grace the big screen with their big guns.

What Did You Think of The Amazing Spider-Man?

After years of speculation about whether or not it was too soon to reboot the Spider-Man franchise, we finally have our answer.

After years of speculation about whether or not it was too soon to reboot the Spider-Man franchise, we finally have our answer. The Amazing Spider-Man has proved to be a critical favorite (relatively speaking) and a box office hit. That said, there's a fair amount of critics that prefer Sam Raimi's Spidey trilogy, and while the new installment has made plenty of money, it's still not quite as big a blockbuster as any of the Tobey Maguire films.

Though I'm a big fan of the earlier Spider-Man movies, I was impressed with The Amazing Spider-Man. I really liked what Andrew Garfield did with Peter Parker, and I'm looking forward to seeing the next two movies in the trilogy, especially now that the origin story is out of the way. What about you — did you enjoy the new movie, or should Sony have kept Spidey on the shelf?
