The Amazing Spider-Man

Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield mixed work and play on the weekend in NYC. On Saturday afternoon the cute couple walked hand-in-hand after dining at Bubby’s and shopping at J.Crew, and even sneaked in a kiss. Then they got to work that night on the Chinatown set of The Amazing Spider-Man 2, which Andrew started shooting last week with newcomer Shailene Woodley, who showed off her red hair as Mary Jane Watson — see who else has joined the cast for the sequel. Andrew and Emma shot some emotionally-charged scenes on the weekend and did their best to stay warm between takes.

Andrew Garfield kicked off his week in NYC by working on The Amazing Spider-Man 2 both yesterday and Monday. The actor took to the set of the sequel wearing a heavy coat and breaking to laugh at playbacks with a friend, before suiting up in his Spider-Man spandex. Andrew's return to his role as Peter Parker will mark the first film he's done since the first of the franchise. His on and off-screen love, Emma Stone, will also return to her role as Gwen Stacy, along with several new cast members signing on for The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Among them is Shailene Woodley, who was also on set yesterday sporting a noticeably redder shade of hair for her role as Mary Jane.

Last week Andrew Garfield showed off his spidey skills — and hot, shirtless bod — as the superhero star of The Amazing Spider-Man. And what's better than one super-sexy superhero? A whole crop of them! This year is turning out to be superpowered hottie overload with The Avengers cast of steamy Chris Evans as Captain America, Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, and a bulked-up Chris Hemsworth as Thor. And in a couple of weeks Christian Bale brings his suited-up good looks back to the big screen as Batman in The Dark Knight Rises. I'm all for the superheroines, but when it comes to all these swoon-worthy superheroes, sign me up for the damsel in distress role! To get in the superhero spirit, let's look at the most smouldering caped crusaders to grace the big screen with their big guns.

This week, Andrew Garfield takes over the role of Peter Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man, which Tobey Maguire originated just 10 years ago. While the new film is a reboot with a few new characters, many of the elements remain the same — Peter still has a love interest, a loving aunt and uncle, a villain to face down, and that red stretchy suit.

Two of the most anticipated comic book blockbusters are coming to the big screen this month, and we're guessing dedicated fans have been crossing off dates on their calendars for The Amazing Spider-Man and The Dark Knight Rises. But if that's not your thing, don't worry about not having anything to see at the cinemas, because it seems like July's releases have great options for comedy fans and music lovers — oh, and a small film where some of Hollywood's hottest men play strippers. Check out our pick of the July flicks.

In one of the most romantic wedding ceremonies we've ever seen, Sun Herald fashion editor and ex-rugby league player, Luke Ricketson, got married in Italy this week. Kate looked stunning and we adored Luke's blue suit! Congratulations to the happy couple. Katy Perry was in Sydney for her Saturday night premiere of Katy Perry Part of Me, and the Spice Girls reunited to launch their musical. Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone attended the big LA premiere of The Amazing Spider-Man, and also joked around at a charity event in New York before the big day. Cutest. Couple. Ever.
