Stop taking the mask off >: (

I quite liked it in the context of using it to save the kid.

Something I noticed when I saw the third trailer and that was only enforced by this new 'super preview' is that it seems as if Peter Parker's secret identity as Spider-Man becomes not so secret at some point in the film, at least when it comes to both Gwen and Captain Stacy (and possibly the NYPD). If this is the case, I find it interesting because I can't recall another version of the Spidey story where both Peter's love interest(s) and the public authorities (or at least one public authority) become aware of his secret.

don't think the police do find out his ID. he's too busy bouncing around like Sonic on speed whupping their asses after he gets unmasked for them to see much.

It's surprising they're revealing that in the trailer because it would seem to be an important plot point and one that would take many by surprise. Maybe it's just another way to show they're different.

In the comics Capt. Stacy knew his identity, I'm not sure if he does or not in this movie.

In Ultimate Spider-Man MJ, Aunt May, Gwen Stacy, Johnny Storm, the X-Men,the Ultimates, S.H.I.E.L.D and Nick Fury all know Peter's secret identity.

[Shazam!]

In Civil War, everyone knew.

[Anwar]

In the "Marvel Adventures" comics, Peter's current love interest (who isn't Gwen) and Captain Stacy know.

[DigificWriter]

It's not really the possibility of Captain Stacy knowing in and of itself that intrigues me, but rather the possibility that Captain Stacy's discovery of Peter's secret is the reason for his (Peter) being considered, in Gwen's words, 'a wanted man'. I can't recall another iteration of the Spidey story in either film or television where Peter actually became a fugitive because someone discovered his secret.

Maybe I read it wrong, but I took Stacey's "you're a wanted man Peter Park" as more talking about his Spider-man alter-ego rather than Peter himself.

That was the way I interpreted the line too.

By that point she already knows his identity






I haven't seen this posted

Yes. I know.

What I mean is that when she says, "You're a wanted man, Peter Parker." She's talking about Spider-Man being wanted, not Peter but is using Peter's real name to be sexy... or something.

I'd like to go to this movie with some other twit and wonder aloud about why it's not consistent with the Raimi movies.

"Where's the original actor...the goofy looking kid..."

"Yeah, the one who played Frodo."

"I HOPE VENOM COMES BACK FOR THIS ONE."

"WHY IS VENOM GREEN?"

"Yo, I think that's the green goblin?"

"I thought he died, then like his son died."

"Where's Mary Jane?"

"You can't smoke that shit here!"

"No, I mean the red haired chick...Parker's squeeze."

"Why's that cop called Captain Stacy...Stacy is a girl's name."

"I dunno, but that's Dennis Leary, he was baaad dude in Judgement Night!"

"I'm bored, when's Spider-Man gonna kill somebody."

"Spider-Man doesn't kill."

"Weeeak...I knew we should've seen Dark Knight Rising."

[Admiral James Kirk]

Dude, I totally want to see this movie with you!

Yeah, I doubt that even at his most smart-alecky Parker would be flippant about his identity being discovered under those circumstances - it then involves people close to him, after all. So it's certainly Spidey that they're looking for.
