Nice. Looks like a perfect casting to me. He's a great actor too, so this should be good.

Looks like Adrian Toomes, AKA The Vulture (reportedly to be played by Colm Feore) will be joining the rogues gallery for TASM2.

Garfield likes this kid.

When I saw that Giamatti photo, I went "'what the....is that?!!!!"
Some guy in the worst cosplay outfit ever?

Oh yeah...it's gonna be awesome. LOVING the Spidey costume!

I thought it was odd casting Paul Giamatti, but seeing his expressive face in the stand-in it makes a lot of sense.

Yeah, I thought the same thing. And it still looks pretty hammy, but now that I think of it, Romita's Rhino constantly had his mouth wide open showing a row of huge teeth, so this may actually work.

That stand-in Rhino suit is hilarious. Someone should make a custom figure of him!

That is a CGI outfit the animators will use as a scale and placement guide when they fill in the Rhino's actual body. Nothing you see in that scene (of him) is what you'll get in the finished product.

Oh, that makes more sense. I thought it was armor or something he was wearing.

Though what the hell is Paul wearing? Is that supposed to be the Rhino armor? Will more stuff be added digitally in post? 'Cause it looks incomplete right now.

That final shot of Spidey in action looks amazing (pun intended)! And him fist-bumping the kid was nice too. Though what the hell is Paul wearing? Is that supposed to be the Rhino armor? Will more stuff be added digitally in post? 'Cause it looks incomplete right now.

Definitely getting a Nicholas Hammond vibe from that costume!

The more I see of the costume the happier I am. By far the most comic faithful live-action interpretation this side of the Electric Co.
