First Look: Spidey goes dark in new 'Amazing Spider-Man' poster
Simple and striking image puts the logo before the costume
Things look dark and downright spooky on the brand new poster for Columbia's reboot of Marvel's beloved superhero, "The Amazing Spider-Man," from director Marc Webb ("500 Days of Summer").
There's no sign of co-stars Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Martin Sheen or Sally Field on the poster, which premiered on Superherohype.com. Nor do we even get to see Spidey's costume. Even Peter Parker himself, Andrew Garfield, is merely a speck on the image, which is dominated by the shadow-cast Spider-Man emblem.
