The Hi-Res Banner and Several Photos from Amazing Spider-Man 2

With just hours away from the release of the teaser trailer for Sony Pictures' Amazing Spider-Man 2 I'm putting this up. It's the triptych banner plus several new stills for the film which stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Paul Giamatti and Jamie Foxx. 

Cosmicbooknews also shared a new synopsis for the Marc Webb film:

We’ve always known that Spider-Man’s most important battle has been within himself: the struggle between the ordinary obligations of Peter Parker and the extraordinary responsibilities of Spider-Man. But in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Peter Parker finds that a greater conflict lies ahead.

It’s great to be Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield). For Peter Parker, there’s no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen (Emma Stone). But being Spider-Man comes at a price: only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New Yorkers from the formidable villains that threaten the city. With the emergence of Electro (Jamie Foxx), Peter must confront a foe far more powerful than he. And as his old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, Peter comes to realize that all of his enemies have one thing in common: OsCorp. 

Now time to check out the stills. 

And as a bonus, here's what the Rhino will look in the movie.

As early as now, I'd like to slap the designers for making such a weird ass looking Rhino.

Marvel Select Rhino to be Released in 2013

This was originally shared by MTV Geek. Here however is what DST's official statement for the figure.

Diamond Select Toys have been releasing ever more amazing figures in their Marvel Select line. While the standard figures have been seeing added articulation and larger character selection, it’s the oversized figures that really blow away the competition. The heavy-weight figures now have another to add to their ranks with the announcement of Spider-Man’s foe, and Sinister Six-alumni, the Rhino! He’s not scheduled for release until early next year, but we’re lucky enough to be bringing you an early first look at this behemoth!

The Hulk. The Thing. The Abomination. The Juggernaut. Diamond Select Toys’ oversized Marvel Select action figures have been dazzling collectors for years, and now they’re ready to do it again… with the Rhino! Designed and sculpted by Gentle Giant, the leather-skinned Spider-Man foe stands over 8 inches tall with 16 points of articulation, and is ready to tear through your Marvel Select collection like tissue paper. If you don’t feel like having him stomp Spider-Man on your shelf, he will come ready to display in the now-famous Select collector packaging. Pre-order him today at your local comic shop or your favorite online toy store, and look for him to hit stores in early 2013!
