There’s no organic web-firing in the new Spider-Man reboot. Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man will be using a mechanical device instead…
If you wanted further proof that Spider-Man was heading off in a new direction with its upcoming reboot, then it's worth going and having another look at the first image of Andrew Garfield in the webslinger's costume.
The picture, released last week, led to many thinking that Garfield's Spider-Man would have mechanical webshooters, rather than the organic ones that Tobey Maguire deployed. And this has now been confirmed by Emma Stone, on the red carpet prior to the Golden Globes.
"It's a device," Stone confirmed to MTV, although she remained tight-lipped about anything else to do with the project.
In the comics, we've seen Spider-Man deploy his own webs, and also employ such a device. Yet, it's a further sign, as if any were needed, that Marc Webb's Spider-Man adventure is going off in a very different direction to Sam Raimi's.
