First Look at Paul Giamatti as Aleksei Sytsevich in Marc Webb’s ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2’
Here’s our first official look at Paul Giamatti as the villainous Aleksei Sytsevich a.k.a The Rhino in Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man 2. How stereotypical of the film to depict a Russian man with road rage! Sytsevich was once a thug in the Russian Mafia, but underwent a life-threatening series of chemical and radiation treatments and transformed into a superhumanly strong agent — The Rhino — for a collective of professional spies.
In The Amazing Spider-Man 2, for Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield), life is busy – between taking out the bad guys as Spider-Man and spending time with the person he loves, Gwen (Emma Stone), high school graduation can’t come quickly enough. Peter hasn’t forgotten about the promise he made to Gwen’s father to protect her by staying away – but that’s a promise he just can’t keep. Things will change for Peter when a new villain, Electro (Jamie Foxx), emerges, an old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, and Peter uncovers new clues about his past.
Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Shailene Woodley, Paul Giamatti, Felicity Jones, Chris Cooper, and Sally Field also star. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 opens in 3D on May 2, 2014. Image via Marc Webb’s twitter.
