Here are some great new images from The Amazing Spider-Man as well as The Avengers! The Spider Man reboot has been generating a lot of buzz, since it was announced really, but in the last few weeks certainly.  Empire, by way of ComicBookMovie has offered up some great images of Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker (and one as Spiderman menacing someone who looks like Denis Leary) and Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy

Peter Parker is going back to high school when director Marc Webb’s (500 Days of Summer) The Amazing Spider-Man hits theaters in the summer of 2012. The film focuses on a teenager grappling with both contemporary human problems and amazing super-human crises. 

The Amazing Spider-Man opens in theaters July 3 in the US and Canada and 4^th July in the UK

I have to say, I’m much more excited about The Avengers. The assembled company of this film is outrageous. In addition to Chris Evans as Captain America and Chris Hemsworth as Thor, both pictured here, we have Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk, Robert Downey, Jr. as Iron Man, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Tom Hiddleston as Loki and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury. The Avengers have only ever previously assembled in cartoon form and it’s taken until someone like Joss Whedon, with a true comic book geek’s sensibilities and an auteur’s talents to get it done on film. (Or for whatever passes for film these days. A microchip perhaps. We certainly can’t say ‘celluloid’ anymore.)

As for the pics posted here, Hemsworth told Empire that there is obvious tension between his Thor and Evans’ Captain America as you would when alphas used to being top dog are all massed together in one place. "There's a couple of shots in the trailer of Thor and Captain America duking it out and that gives you an idea of how well they get along at the beginning…" The instigator of course, is Loki. “I think it's heartbreaking because{Thor} feels very responsible for why Loki has spiraled off. He keeps trying to appeal to whatever good was once there."  Much more on The Avengers is revealed in the mag when it goes on sale next week.

The Avengers comes to theaters 27^th April in the UK and May 4 in the US and Canada.
