While the troubled Broadway musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark tries to get back on track in the wake of all of the calamities that have befallen the production, things are moving ahead nicely on the set of the new Spider-Man reboot film. As you may recall, in early December we got our first look at the first photos from the set of the new Spider-Man film when we saw photos of Emma Stone in character as Gwen Stacy. Today we get our first look at lead actor Andrew Garfield (of The Social Network) in character as Peter Parker.

Okay, granted … Andrew Garfield in character as Peter Parker doesn’t look any different from Andrew Garfield not in character as Peter Parker but still … it’s nice to see that filming is moving ahead nicely on the reboot. I mean, not that I’m excited about the reboot to be honest since I think it’s far too soon to remake a film that is only 10 years old but … whatevs. Some of you casual Spider-Man fans may need reminding that Emma is playing Gwen Stacy, Peter Parker‘s first love (who he was involved with in the comic books before he met his true love Mary Jane Watson). The first film in the Spider-Man reboot franchise will focus on Peter‘s relationship with Gwen (as well as his becoming Spider-Man). While I’m curious to see how production of the film will continue, I’m still not dying for a new Spider-Man movie. I guess we’ll have to wait and see how it all turns out.
