With all the descriptions coming out about the
Spider-Man footage and the word of a trailer coming early tomorrow morning, it's a good day to be a
Spidey fan. With our very own
Josh Wilding reporting from the event in London we have a plethora of information coming in.
io9 has their own summation, but here are two interesting bits.
About Dr. Connors/The Lizard
Peter discovers his scientist dad's old briefcase, kept hidden by Uncle Ben and Aunt May (Sally Field, who doesn't speak once in this footage, sadly). This is where we realize that Peter is also a bit of a whiz kid. He unloads his father's briefcase and finds an old clipping of Dr. Curt Connors. Cut to Oscorp, where Connors is escorting a bunch of students around and saying, "Before you ask, yes. I'm a southpaw, not a cripple." He then reveals his plans to fix his arm. He and Peter meet, and Peter scribbles some nonsensical math equation on a blackboard, thus solving the problem to Doc Connors' secret serum.
Connors injects himself, and later you see his new hand sprouting out of his stub. Little bits of skin are peeling around his new limb. Naturally, he goes completely mad. Why? Not sure. There's a scene with a collection of stopped cars on giant bridge. A lizard creature starts throwing cars left and right, and then claws through the hood of one man's car. The hands are all scaled. You can hear Peter screaming, "Doctor Connors, this isn't you," and the camera cuts to a bird's eye view of the bridge, each car The Lizard threw is bobbing up and down, held by a single piece of web.
POSSIBLE SPOILER
Now a bit of speculation comes in on the part of the viewer here, from what they saw we can only take the writer at their word but some of this stuff would make sense. Grain of salt ready?
Perhaps the biggest reveal of the sizzle reel was some sort of odd climatic show down between Peter and The Lizard. There appears to be a massive showdown on top of the OSCORP Tower. And Peter just rips down the whole tower. In another scene this odd blue cloud appears over the OSCORP Tower (pre-destruction). I wonder if this has something to do with — SPOILER ALERT — all the Lizard minions and Lizard toys we've seen. Is Dr. Connors trying to populate the world with Lizard people, just like Magneto in the first X-Men movie? Naturally this is a big maybe.
So what do you think? Sound plausible? Like what you hear about The Lizard? Sound off below!
