‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ Trailer Shows More Lizard, Daddy Issues

A new international trailer for the wall-crawler film gives an extended look at Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, and Rhys Ifans’ reptilian bad guy

Peter Parker has a whole lot of daddy issues and a scaly, slithering, super-freaky villain to deal with in "The Amazing Spider-Man."

That's the take-away from a new international trailer for the upcoming reboot of Sony's superhero franchise. 

The latest preview gives audiences a more extensive look at Rhys Ifans' villainous Dr. Curt Connors/The Lizard, who is big, green and administering a smack-down on Manhattan motorists. This reptilian baddie has serious road-rage.

It also appears that the orphaned Peter's father had some kind of business association with Connors. The first "Spider-Man" movie had Peter grappling with the murder of his guardian, Uncle Ben. This installment looks like it will focus more on the wall-crawling hero's mysterious parents. 

"The Amazing Spider-Man" is directed by Marc Webb ("(500) Days of Summer") and stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone and Sally Field. It swings into theaters on July 3, 2012.
