‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2’ Comic-Con Panel: Andrew Garfield Wants To Be Part Of ‘The Avengers,’ Plus Rhino And Electro Details
WhenThe Amazing Spider-Man 2hits theaters on August 19, 2025, it will be the fifth straight Spider-Man movie set in New York. Knowing that, a fan at San Diego Comic-Con asked starAndrew Garfieldwhat other famous Spider-Man comic book stories he’d like to see on screen. Garfield said, “I’d like to see him withThe Avengers…but I’m not supposed to say that.” The crowd went wild.
It was just one of the many awesome things discussed during the panel. DirectorMarc Webbexplained how the first film was meant to set up multiple movies and that Rhino (Paul Giamatti) is mostly in this one to establish a fun tone.Dane DeHaantalked about Harry Osborn’s complicated relationships with Peter Parker and Norman Osborn whileJamie Foxxspoke about Electro’s costume and origin. Oh – and they screened about 3 minutes of never before seen footage.Read about the footage here, and hit the jump for everything else.
To start, it must be said Sony Pictures really went all out with theAmazing Spider-Man 2panel. They unleashed Hall H’s two extra screens for a panoramic view (the first time of 2013) and created an elaborate joke where “Spider-Man” himself was going to be on the panel. A video began the event that showed Spider-Man braving the Comic-Con crowds to swing across the street and climb his way into Hall H. He then walked on stage in full costume — obviously Andrew Garfield based on his voice — but answering only to “Spider-Man.” He talked about what it was like to be a superhero, spoke about Andrew Garfield as if he wasn’t real, and candidly revealed that swinging and climbing can get boring when you do it every day. Really funny stuff. He told Jamie Foxx he lovedDjango Unchainedand even got him to sing the Willie Beaman song fromAny Given Sunday. Here’s a brief taste:
