Spider-Man's gone Johnny Cash, and he's wearing black. The first shot of Tobey Maguire in costume as Spidey has surfaced, and while you might think it's black and white, it isn't.

Instead, this is Spider-Man in a black costume, and if you've heard any of the rumors of what this movie is about, or if you've ever watched a Spider-Man cartoon or read a Spider-Man cartoon, you know exactly what that means.

It means Venom.

If you know nothing about Spider-Man outside the movies and don’t want to be spoiled, then don't Google on that word.

This isn't just a picture though, it's also looks a lot like it is the movie's first teaser poster. Superherohype, who originated says it isn't, but it's teasing me, so I think it qualifies. Whatever it is, it's a huge departure from the previous two movies which were bright, and red, and blue. It's also gotten me all tingly about Spider-Man again. The image is just completely cool. Scroll down and take a look, and for an even bigger, higher-res version click over to Superherohype, since they're the lucky blokes who unearthed it.
