Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone sing a weird, funny promo for The Amazing Spider-Man via Vulture.

In that same Vulture article, Garfield said he was jealous of everyone in The Avengers:

I saw it, and I was blown away. And I'm going to see it again this weekend. I have no problem adding to the amount of money it's making! [Laughs.] Joss Whedon is a genius, and it's an incredible cast. I was very, very jealous, and I wanted to jump on the screen and play with them. It killed me that I wasn't in it, but I understand why, and I'm not insulted. But hey, if Samuel L. Jackson wants to give me a shout, I'm there for the next one!

Collider found a post on the IMDB of two descriptions of scenes from Man of Steel. They were asked to take it down (meaning its legit and a spoiler) but Film School Rejects still has it. Very cool stuff. Here's a non-spoiler snippet:

It was incredible, it really was. And absolutely visually stunning, but my qualm is its typical Zack Snyder. It doesn't look glossy like his films do. It instead has a more clean cut, colorful look. Like Thor, or Iron Man. But it is the same slow-mo styling that people expect from him. Maybe it just happens in this one scene, but it happens twice. Makes me a bit hesitant, despite the fact it looks phenomenal.
