Sony Pictures has released the first official photo of its Spiderman reboot star Andrew Garfield and his green goblins tucked into his web-slinger costume (see above). The pic also gives us a glimpse at homemade web-shooters on the wrists of the outfit (see below).

The web-shooters have got comic geeks tingling with joy and anticipation. Apparently, in old-school Spidey comics, young Peter Parker designs the contraptions to compliment his newly acquired powers (unlike the Sam Raimi movies in which the webs are organic).

Directed by Mark Webb, the Spiderman reboot is an origins film based on Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley’s “Ultimate Spiderman” comics, which finds our fiendly neighborhood crime-fighter back in high school. The film is budgeted at $80 million and will be released in 3-D on July 3, 2012.
