MTV Movie Awards Rewind: See the sneak peeksOne of the best reasons to watch the MTV Movie Awards - except to see Zac Efron's abs - is to check out the exclusive clips of upcoming movies. The network has a knack for locking down both the talent and select clips from some of the year's hottest properties, which this time around include "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" and "X-Men: Days of Future Past." Transformers, Captain America, Spider-Man return with new trailersAs we all know by now, the Super Bowl isn't just about a football game. And it's not just about splashy ads for products either. Studios also use it to launch new trailers (or at least first looks at upcoming films). In some cases, the 30-second movie ad is just a teaser for the full trailer online. In the case of "Transformers: Age of Extinction," the ad was all we got but it was the first anyone had seen of Michael Bay's big fourquel, with new human star Mark Wahlberg. The spot doesn't just feature the former Marky Mark running from the evil Decepticons' reign of terror, it also includes the already-much discussed sight of Optimus Prime riding a Dinobot. Check out the first look at Dinobot Grimlock's big movie debut below ("Extinction" arrives June 27).

This time, we learn more about the mysterious villain, the Winter Soldier and get a better look at Captain America's high-flying comic book sidekick, Falcon (Anthony Mackie). The action spectacular, co-starring Scarlett Johansson, Samuel L. Jackson and Robert Redford arrives April 4.

A four-minute trailer was unveiled on Super Bowl Sunday, and one thing is clear: Spidey has a lot to contend with come May 2. He's going up against a Rhino, a Goblin and most prominently, Jamie Foxx's Electro, who apparently starts out as a nerdy fan of Spidey's, but feels wronged by the web-slinger. Take that, plus a heaping helping of Andrew Garfield bantering with Sally Field, and Emma Stone's Gwen Stacy in mortal danger and you have one epic trailer.

Jamie Foxx as Electro in 'Spider-Man 2'While we wait to see what the Comic-Con panel for "The Amazing Spider-Man" sequel will bring us, we'll bide our time with this clip of Jamie Foxx as Electro. The actor teasingly tweeted back in November that he went as "Electro for Halloween ... Costume fits well." It wasn't long before the star was confirmed as Max Dillon, whose evil alter-ego can control electricity. Andrew Garfield: What if 'Spider-Man's' MJ were a boy?With Shailene Woodley's Mary Jane officially cut from "The Amazing Spider-Man" sequel, star Andrew Garfield has offered a casting suggestion. Given that Mary Jane is called "MJ" by fans, Garfield pointed out that those initials could just as easily stand in for a male love interest. “I was kind of joking, but kind of not joking about MJ,” the 29-year-old Brit actor told Entertainment Weekly. ![]() Actor Andrew Garfield arrives for the premiere of "The Amazing Spider-Man" in Los Angeles last summer. Two more 'Spider-Man' sequels comingIt looks like "The Amazing Spider-Man" has a few more webs to sling. Sony Pictures' Chairman of Worldwide Marketing and Distribution, Jeff Blake, announced the dates for two more 'Spider-Man' sequels - and the schedule extends into 2018. Spider-Man makes an 'Ultimate' return to animationHe’s been "Amazing," "Spectacular" and "Unlimited," but the nerdiest hero in comics is going "Ultimate" for a return to cartoon form. “Ultimate Spider-Man” premieres Sunday, April 1 at 11 a.m. ET, leading Marvel’s new programming block on Disney XD. The lineup includes new animated shorts and the second season of “The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes,” as well as a real-life look at the art and science of superheroes. It’s not just a Marvel thing. |
