'Amazing Spider-Man 2' May Feature New Spidey Costume

The next film might be giving Spidey a "darker" look.

Amazing Spider-Man 2 director Marc Webb has already begun working on the sequel to his first Amazing Spider-Man film and he's recently taken to Twitter to tease what fans can expect to see in this next movie. Late yesterday afternoon the director posted a rather obscure video clip to Telly that gave fans a glimpse at the possible eyewear Spidey will be sporting in the upcoming movie. More than that though, the image gives the sense that the costume might be a bit different, dare we say, darker?

No Caption Provided

Webb posted the link to the video with the hash tag "Day 9. #thebettertoseeyouwith," and he's shown no sign of slowing down whatsoever. Make sure to follow Webb for more sneak peeks at the Spider-Man movie making process, make sure to follow Webb on Twitter for more updates from the set of the motion picture.

This isn't the only piece of news to come to light, however. Recently there was news of another addition to the film's cast. Actress Felicity Jones (Like Crazy) has joined the ensemble according to a recent interview with RTL Boulevard and rumor has it she will be playing Black Cat on the big screen. So Gwen, Felicia and MJ all in one movie? Sounds like a recipe for disaster in the love department for Peter Parker, but it does make things interesting. What do you think of the news of the addition of Jones to the film's cast? What do you think of Webb's teaser?

Darker?

Hmm... here's an idea. Make it black, give him a cape, while we're at it put spiky features on his arms... Wait, that's Batman's look? I know. Why am I bringing it up? Because if this movie and Marvel higher ups clearly have Batman in mind when doing Spider-Man now, they may as well go all out and make him completely like Batman.

What's that? There's a chance it will look like the classic look from the comic book? THEN WHY DIDN'T THEY JUST DO THAT BEFORE?!

@MP_SimonWilliams: That's the case with every masked superhero. Toby Maguire took his mask off (or it was torn off in a fight) countless times. It's the single biggest reason they aren't making a Deadpool movie. Not only does Hollywood need bankable actors who people can actually see, but the audience needs to actually see the actor act.

No, it doesn't always make sense but Peter Parker crying/yelling/anything that involves actual emotion is a lot more effective if you can see his face and, most importantly, his eyes... That's why Batman wears that ridiculous eye makeup in stead of just having them white.

Don't forget iron man, and captain America.

This is awesome news. The eyes are becoming more classically authentic, lets just hope that the costume becomes more in-tune to its roots rather than newly designed.

LOL.....non-story. It doesn't matter what Spidey's eye-wear or mask will look like......because he'll just run around for more than 1/2 the movie without a mask on.......so that all the teenage girls can see just how dreamy Andrew Garfield is.

Seriously, go back and check out all the screen time that Spider-Man is without a mask on it that movie...and for no real, discernible reason,either.

It's like Sony was trying to tap into that big "Twilight" money with The Amazing Spider-Man. Remember, the Twilight series was red-hot when they first began working on ASM around 2009 or so (before Joss Whedon showed everyone how to make a real super-hero movie). Can you just hear the Sony/Paramount studio execs saying, "It'll be like Twilight, only with Superheroes. It can't lose!"

Three girls, a love triangle, a dreamy Spider-Man w/no mask on, Peter's hunky friend Harry coming back....cue Twilight theme. Now they just need to roll out Dr. Michael Morbius so that they can actually have vampires, too....

Also, I hope they just introduce the symbiote, like show a picture of it in the movie or something, and maybe a close up on the locker it's supposedly kept in. Don't unleash it until the third and have spidey fight goblin and venom in #3? (Harry=venom, Norman=gobby) just a thought. Another thing.... I wouldn't mind them naming the sequel 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' but I'd really like it if it was 'The Spectacular Spider-man' and the third be 'The Astonishing Spider-Man' or 'Ultimate Spider-Man'....(astonishing sounds better to me though) anyway, I'm done with this article lol. Can't wait till 2014

Can't wait for this movie. Love the new lenses sooo much! Have a suspicion that the picture is in black and white, I love the gold lenses better, but I don't mind white ones. Hopefully they also give the suit a traditional web pattern (curvey like theyre supposed to look, instead of straight lines crossing each other) but the same black-pressed webbing as the first one. Also no red racing stripe down his leg! Hope he gets a utility belt, and I'd love to see spider tracers on screen. I also kind of agree with iancoderre3, I'd like to see that tick-looking spider emblem on his back, ya know, the fat one. I know it's not a realistic looking spider, but it's traditional. They're most likely going to keep the same spider symbol though. Wow, I'm really excited for this movie. Hopefully electro stays as the main villain and rhino is just a throwaway, like a secondary one.

Just my opinion but based on what I have heard so far, this movie sounds like it will eclipse Spider-Man 3 with its crappiness.

Indeed she did.

@Babs: I'm confused here Babs. How do you get "darker" from an eye piece that is clearly brighter and "lighter" than the one in the previous film?

I don't think this teaser necessarily suggests at all the black suit.

But there was another teaser saying #HappyBirthday with a morgue picture. It's a milestone year for the character Venom and it was the guy playing Harry's birthday.

So I think he'll have the suit (Ultimate universe version) for this whole movie, and battle the villains while wearing it, and lose it in the end or beginning of the next movie.

For some people maybe. But one of the most frequent criticisms Amazing got was how much it borrowed from Spider-Man and Batman Begins. We really didn't need to drag through another overlong origin story. I thought it started off pretty promising, but by the time I left the theater all I could say was 'meh.'

I will admit though, Emma Stone knocked it out of the park.

No it isn't the Black Suit. Webb stated a few days ago that the new costume would be closer to the comics (bigger eyes, comic-type webshooters etc...). That picture is most likely a photo of the bigger lenses before going onto the suit.

Ah my mistake. Hard to see what with the zoomed in focused image. Thanks for the clarification!

To me this doesn't seem "dark", it's actually the standard spidey eye piece, black edges with a white lens. Maybe Peter now has more cash so he himself upgraded the costume?

In regards to Black Cat, she might just be 1. a villain team up against Electro, 2 a cannon fodder (for now) villain take down or 3. A small cameo. (the again the same could be said about Rhino if he does show up)

Haha, yeah, but I mean as far as descriptions go, it's still pretty vague. :D

I'm just envisioning more visible, chunkier web shooters, like the ones the original Scarlet Spider had.

I'm guessing because everyone was so narrow-mindedly anal about his look in the first movie? Okay, sure. I'll bet it'll look even cooler.

So they've now announced/rumored MJ, Harry, Rhino, Electro, Morbius, Black Cat, and probably more I'm forgetting, just in the second movie. The more they announced the more I'm certain this will be more than a trilogy. Also, it was said ages ago that there would be a new costume.

I really liked the Amazing Spider-Man. I just hope it doesn't turn into a disaster like Spider-Man 3 was. They just jammed to meany characters in it to spend a decent amount of time developing each of them. I just really hope Webb can pull this off.

@cosmicwolf13: I agree totally with what you posted. The suit was pretty much what it's supposed to be. I like the changes they did. If the movie is good who cares. They kept the character true enough that I was happy. I'm over the whole staying totally true to the comics. The changes worked for pretty much every comic movie made out there. Captain America, Batman, Avengers, Iron Man. Now Spidey. Not that organic webs wasn't a change from the in the first movie. People need to get over it and worry that the script is garbage. Shit......Electro is black and I don't hear anyone complaining. I even liked the black suit from Spider-man 3. Not a Venom suit, just a regular Spider-man suit that was solid black. I wonder why we haven't seen that in the comic.

I like it to. Don't understand why people don't like it. It looked cool.

I thought the spider on the back in ASM was awesome looking.

Have to agree it looked cool even though it was the same spider as the front just red.

Looks slightly more like Black Cat's mask to me, but I think it would be dumb to introduce the symbiote/black suit.

@BritishMonkey: accurate?? are you talking the suit or the eyes, because if there is one thing that artists use to seperate their spideys from others is the use of how they draw eyes. McFarlane blew them up and started a craze that works. Before that they were a lot more thinner. Even more still is how Gabrielle Del Otto draws them. Slim but menacing. I don't care how looks in this movie. It doesn't bother me that they changed him up. I'm and Ultimate Marvel fan and I don't mind the changes they make to characters as long as it pretty much them as a whole. The last movie was great. I hope they make another good one. It worked with the changes for Batman thats why it's working with Spider-man as well.

The costume won't be darker. Quite the opposite honestly.

After seeing this, it'll definitely look a lot better and a heck of a lot more accurate to what we see in the comics.
