New Spider-Man gets 'amazing' title

Los Angeles –  Web-slinger Peter Parker has a name for his next big-screen adventure: The Amazing Spider-Man.

Distributor Sony Pictures announced the title on Monday for the film due in cinemas on July 3, 2012. Now in production and being shot in 3D, the film stars Andrew Garfield as Peter, the ordinary youth who gains superpowers from a bite by a mutant spider.

The Amazing Spider-Man co-stars Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Campbell Scott, Irrfan Khan, Martin Sheen and Sally Field.

Directed by Marc Webb (500 Days of Summer), the film is a re-launch of the franchise after the 2002 blockbuster Spider-Man and its two sequels, which starred Tobey Maguire as the Marvel Comics superhero.

Sony also released a new image of Garfield in full Spidey mode.
