Times Square tourists get more than they bargained for in a new teaser clip for The Amazing Spider-Man 2, which finds Spidey battling his nemesis Electro (Jamie Foxx) at the neon landmark.
The new, minute-long teaser was unveiled on New Years Eve and opens with a spirited introduction from Stan Lee. I dont know about you, but I am so excited about this, enthuses the 91-year-old Spider-Man co-creator, and I wont waste any more of your time! The teaser fittingly jumps straight into a New Year Eves countdown at Times Square, where electricity-hungry Electro rudely interrupts the festivities by siphoning off power until of course, Spider-Man swings in. An enormous, building-shattering battle ensues as does a glimpse of another nemesis, Rhino (Paul Giamatti), and some quick quips from our arachnid hero.
